A joyful life is possible. But to get there, you must focus on yourself, on what makes you happy, on your passion. Because life is bigger than you.
Look, do not waste your time. Life is waiting for you to enjoy! What are you still waiting for?
If you do not know what to do, here is how to start:
“Don’t apologize for creating space in your life. Embrace the freedom you’ve created with gratitude. -Emily Silva
“The only thing we can do is try our best and allow ourselves to learn and grow from our mistakes. … Life is full of lessons and there is great beauty in imperfection.”- Emily silva
Unless growth is the focal point, we can easily become sidetracked by things that keep us from reaching our potential. By staying focused, we become more grounded in our purpose.”- Emily Silva
“Not everyone is supposed to stay in our lives, but the ones who stay are worthy of our hearts.”- Emily Silva
“Permit yourself to pause when things aren’t working out. When you stop trying and striving, your body and mind can receive the gift of rest and restoration.”- Emily silva
“When there is chaos streaming through your mind, you can stop, reflect on a tranquil scene, and just breathe.”- Emily Silva
“When you feel insignificant, remember that your soul is here for a purpose. When you feel alone, remember that you are part of something greater than yourself. -Emily Silva
As the old saying goes, “You can’t control what happens to you, but you can control how you react to it.” You can’t control life, but you can control your own life. Live your life. Do not destroy yourself just to make other people happy.
If you are not happy, it is because you are not brave enough to face your life. No matter what is going on out there, it is your responsibility to make yourself happy. If you can’t do it for you, who do you think is going to do it for you. If you are honest with yourself, the answer is you.
If you want to put your life together, here are some strategies, according to Rachel Hollis.
She says, “Don’t fear your weakness, fear drowning in despair for the rest of your time on earth because you were too afraid to confront your pain.” No matter what you are going through in your life, if you want to put your life together, do not “cover your pain to make other people more comfortable.”
She says, “If you want to move forward, be honest about what’s going on even if it’s only to yourself.” If you have the courage to be honest with yourself, that is good enough.
She says, “Stop trying to cover up your emotions, or, frankly, anything you don’t like about yourself or your feelings, with a new coat of paint. … But in order to do that, you’ve got to be real. You have to allow yourself to truly feel what you feel before you can feel what you’d like.” Allow yourself to be you, to express yourself. If you don’t express your God-given self, then what are you doing with it?
She says, “Have the courage to admit who you are, even if it’s only to yourself at first.” Have the courage to admit who you are to yourself, to your mnd, to your body, and to your soul. Why is that? To know others, you must first know yourself. If not, you are faking it. Do not fake your way through life. Live your way through life. Grow your way through life. Do not be scared to set boundaries for yourself. They work.
She says, “When one thing changes, everything changes, even if it takes you a bit to admit it and adjust.” When something changes in your life, you are no longer the same person. Change is important. See it as a blessing, not as a curse.
She says, “You are going to have to love yourself enough to seek help. You are going to have to love yourself enough to forgive yourself. You are going to have to love yourself enough to believe that you can be better, that you will be better, next time. You are also going to have to love yourself enough to walk away from anyone who weaponizes your guilt and uses it against you.” You have the power to do whatever you want. But to do that, you have got to be real with yourself.
Remember, according to Rachel Hollis, “You are an ever-evolving being who will continue to change over time.”
