How To Stop Living In Grief
We all have gone through a moment where we lose all our hopes because nothing is going our way and our lives are falling apart. You start feeling jealous of people who are living their lives to the fullest; you are not feeling bad for them but instead feeling sorry for yourself.
You deep down know maybe I could’ve worked harder to achieve it, or you may think maybe I should’ve never made that mistake, and at some point people might also think that life has no point because nothing happens in their favor. You have fear that you have disappointed people who believed in you or worked hard for you. This feeling is so bad that it may lead you to do something very wrong, and now you feel guilty about yourself.
• CHANGE YOUR MINDSET
I can describe the feeling of regret very well because I have been through it and I know how horrible it is, and I continued overthinking it until I saw the beauty in it. You must understand that is how things work, and that is the beauty of life; we never know what will happen in the next moment.
We all have watched movies, and we all know how boring it would be if everything in the movie was happy or there was no twist. Our life is like a movie; we don’t know what is going to happen next, and everything is a suspense, but one thing we very well know is that whatever will happen depends on how hard we work today, and maybe even after working hard, things don’t go our way, but isn’t that beautiful? We don't know how things are going to work out, but still, we are giving our best to make things work.
Life is like a game; we win and lose, but we keep trying because we believe that one day we will complete this level and move on to the next, and that is what life is all about. You can’t expect to constantly win because you might not be ready for it, or God may be preparing you for something bigger, and nothing teaches you more than failure.
You know, when I read my old journal, I could see the pain I had gone through at that moment and how terrible I felt at that moment, but when I think of that now, I feel so easy. I realized that it was just a part of my life, not my whole existence. The only thing I wished was to tell my past self to believe in yourself; you are way stronger than you think, and you will come out of this situation.
You know what makes me do my best is the fear that whatever I have gone through would be for nothing, and all the pain I suffered was not worth it. Who wants a story without struggle? One day I want to be successful and tell my story of all the pain and struggle I have gone through and make people realize that there is so much more behind that happy face.
