| Life is full of challenges. They can be big or small. They can happen any time, anywhere. They happen to everyone. They should be expected and accepted. We need to face them and move on. We should not dwell on them or take too much stock in them. After all, we have control over what we let get to us. Life is short. Some of us know all too well this fact. We can live out whatever time we have left being happy and living each day for what it is and accept whatever it brings, or, we can dwell and worry over every little thing and be miserable. It is really your choice. No one else but yourself really has the power to control your feelings. People can do things that hurt you or make you feel good, but they do not control you 24/7. You make your own decisions and choices. What happens is up to you. I believe this is part of some great plan, but I also believe that you yourself have some kind of control over what happens as well. Basically, if you want to be happy, you will be happy. If you want to be upset, you will be. No one can dictate your emotions, only you can. If you are being hurt, you don't have to stay in that particular setting. If everyone took a look inside themselves, they would probably find some of the same answers. It's true. People are drawn to other people for reasons we don't understand ourselves sometimes. This is uncontrollable, however, how they make us feel is not. If you let someone get to you, then you have given a part of who you are away. This is risky, however, it is also necessary. You will want to give parts of you away to certain people, but you ultimately make that decision. Life goes on. It always has, and probably always will. People come and go, you can leave them behind or stick with them. However, you have to live with yourself. You can't leave yourself behind. In this life, you matter. Without you, there is no life for you. Just remember that. |
