Without a doubt life is not easy. There have been many moments in the past where I would complain about anything and everything. I often wanted others to experience the misery I was in. Many times, I couldn’t fathom the reasons for these feelings. And while life does not always deliver me everything that I like. I learn to live with what I must go through by learning to be happy in the moment.

Granted this is not being in a state of toxic positivism. For far too long, I have focused on discovering the negativity in things. I let myself believe everything was going wrong with me. I also let others wallow in the same misery that I was living in. The reality was holding me back. It prevented me from being who I truly needed to be. It was hard to understand that there is so much more to life. I needed to stop letting the things that bring me down get to me.

Things in my life were not always the best. I have started to make them the best they can be for what I must endure. I used to complain about everything that I found not to be going the way I wanted them to be. But I realized that I needed to accept things for what they were. I had to accept what was for what it was. I learned to cope with things as they needed to be. I managed them in ways that suited my capacity to handle them.

Life does not always give you what you want. I often struggled to manage my emotions. This happened especially during sudden changes or when things were out of my control. I had to learn that things improve significantly when I can control myself. I needed to be happy with things as they were. I understood how to take small joys in stride. I learned to live by making the best of things in the moment.

I had to learn that things are not always going to go the way I want them to go. From a long time ago, I had to learn to be flexible and understanding with things. But that did not always mean that I was willing to accept things and learn to cope with them. Instead, I let them occupy my mind. I believed I wanted others to live a life of misery because I was in misery myself. I was unwilling to see that I had to look to the things that made me happy in the moment. Those moments got me through what I had to go through.

I have been through so much. I have been unwilling to face the reality. Life goes on better if I choose to live it as best as I can. It is important to allow myself to see the things I need. These things make me happy in the moments I need them most.
