Nobody’s going to do your life for you. You have to do it yourself, whether you’re rich or poor, out of money or raking it in, the beneficiary of ridiculous fortune or terrible injustice. And you have to do it no matter what is true. No matter what is hard. No matter what unjust, sad, sucky things have befallen you. Self pity is a dead-end road. You make the choice to drive down it. It’s up to you to decide to stay parked there or to turn around and drive out.
LIFE ITSELF IS A PRIVILEGE. BUT TO LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST, WELL THAT IS A CHOICE. (Not my words).
When you live with unforgiveness in your heart, you become debilitated, unable to move and show up in the world in the way that you were created to all because, you took on the spirit of offense and chose not to forgive.
So, you see while at times, you may feel like it’s your right to hold offense and not forgive and while you do have free will you must also understand that what you felt was a “right” will also be the very thing that strips you of your ability to live in freedom. And, so in your quest to experience justice, you’ll only instigate the greater injustice against yourself, your we being, and your future.
Know this: FORGIVENESS IS POWERFUL. FORGIVENESS IS FREEDOM. It liberates you from offense, from bitterness, and from the negative spirits that will invade your heart, soul, and mind and prohibit you from being a source of light in the world. So, forgive even when it’s hard, even when the person across the table is undeserving.
(This paragraph got nothing to do with the post above. I am still a part-time employee because of my student status & business interests. Workplace environment gets messy when somebody sends a package without mentioning employee ID, especially when we all are working from home since the beginning of this pandemic. It’s tough to explain further. Please don’t send gifts to my office address.)
Comparing yourself to others is a toxic human trait which does nothing but resulting in poor self-confidence. Perfection is an impossible idea and while it’s easy to say that “it’s okay to make mistakes” and “nobody’s perfect”. Sometimes it’s harder to apply those ideas to yourself. When you compare yourself to others, you’re doing everyone an injustice. If you focus on what makes you unique like your skills and potential only in comparison to other people, there will always be someone who outdoes you and you’ll always end up feeling bad.
Instead concentrate on where you are in your path of growth everyone learns different things at different paces at different times in their lives. Where you’re at is just as valid as where everyone else is.
