I know for a fact that life doesn’t always bring you what you want. We all go through issues in our lives. We may think it’s not fair, we deserve better, or sometimes we may ask ourselves why this other chick has such a perfect life. Well let me tell you that everyone is struggling with something. And struggle is good. Yes, because without struggle we wouldn’t even think about improving ourselves or our lives. Struggle brings questions and doubts. Fresh starts are the only way to grow. I believe our purpose in life is to grow. Without growth we can’t find out who we are, what our talents are or what we want out of this life. Every human needs purpose and accomplishment, and to have that we have no choice but to go through struggle. Struggle is eye-opening.
I have never heard stories about people who accomplished great things without struggle. And what made those people succeed is belief, They believed in what they were doing, they knew they would get where they wanted. And they also knew that they had to work. A lot. And they never gave up. That’s what made them succeed. Their purpose became their life. They dedicated everything to that one purpose with goodwill and determination.
Of course not everyone has these abilities. We are all different but it doesn’t mean that you can’t do anything. It’s quite the opposite. You can do anything you want but you just have to believe. Believe in yourself and in life. Trust is the key here because what happens when we don’t have trust or faith? We get stuck with our own fears that are real only in our heads. Fear prevents growth and change. But in order to grow you need to make changes, to go out of your comfort zone, to adapt to what life brings you. Otherwise you’re not doing anything, you’re just surviving and waiting for death. Life is not about surviving, it’s about change – about new beginnings. Those beginnings that will bring you something you truly wanted, and thus growth.
So you have to trust life and have no fears. That’s something I learned – and still am learning – in life. The day I started to trust life or the Universe or God, whatever you want to name it, I began to feel good with myself and my life. I could literally feel a warm stream flowing in me. I felt like I knew that I was in good hands.
Life taught me that I get exactly what I need at the right time. If I needed to learn patience, it would throw at me every kind of stressor – I would go mad because it wasn’t going fast enough, because I was running late, because my ego felt wronged, etc. But those situations were only wrong in my mind. In reality they were insignificant. I would go mad for absolutely everything that was going against what I thought was right. I learned patience the hard way.
Until the day I understood that I needed patience to grow, life brought me tough times. Today I have patience and everything flows in my life peacefully. Before, I would think I don’t have time for that appointment, or that I had to hurry up if I didn’t want to be late… Now I tell myself that I will have time for everything that I have to do during the day and believe me, it’s always the case. When you put yourself in life’s hands, everything gets aligned perfectly. It’s like magic!
Truth is, it’s not magic but more about physics and specifically about vibrations. Vibrations are an inseparable part of world. We attract people and things that vibrate at the same level. It means that when you’re being pessimistic and negative you attract only negative things and it works the same when you’re optimistic. But wait, it doesn’t mean that you just have to sit there being optimistic. Life needs action and movement to allow growth and looking back at these people who accomplished great things, they put a huge amount of effort and work to get what they wanted.
So the recipe for happiness is simple : trust, purpose and work.
Now when I am facing a situation, I know that there is something for me to learn and that not everything I want is what I truly need. You just have to trust life. If you’re scared to do something, do it. If something doesn’t feel right then don’t do it. Your intuition and trust in life work together. These are the best guides you can have to lead you throughout life.
I like to think that life is rewarding me for understanding my lesson. Now I am allowed to go up to another level of growth and it feels so good. I feel like I’m in control of my life and that I am exactly where I need to be and this, ladies, is the highest feeling of happiness one can experience. I am no longer looking for perfection because I understood that it doesn’t exist. My life is what it is and I love it. There will always be something I want to get or change but I am no worrying anymore about it. because I know with certainty that life will bring me all I need to be happy.
Trust is the key. It is scaring but it’s so much worth it. Start with small things in your life and with time you will put your whole life in the Universe’s hands. Only then you will feel at peace because you will know that everything is for the better.
