Itโs true, you cannot do anything. The most obvious truth in the present moment is that everything you ever did is simply over. You cannot change the situation. Thatโs one thing that you should explicitly realize. Like the time, you know that it will always move at exactly the same pace, and whether you like it or not you will only get twenty-four hours each day.
So, consider these if youโre not yet ready to live in the present moment:
Itโs okay to feel the pain. And while you can almost always learn from it, you cannot undo what you have done. Feel the pain but donโt harbor any bitterness in your heartโnot for him, for her, nor for anybody else. Donโt burden yourself with negative feelings when you want to enjoy your life. After all, life is incomplete without pain. It makes you human.
Itโs okay to commit mistakes. After all, you are human. A human being that is prone to failure. When life is difficult and messed up, when there is imperfection, donโt strive for perfection, improve. All of us are perfectly imperfect, remember that always.
Itโs okay to forgive and forget. Did you know that Godโs angels in heaven are rejoicing when you forgive and forget? When you do these two things, thereโs a spark of happiness in the darkest side in your heart. Leniency is contagious. When you spread it around, it will surely come back you in the most amazing way. Do it and youโll find peace.
Itโs okay to dream. Dream. Believe. Entertain illusions. Because thatโs one way of knowing you live and not just exist. When you dream, learn to follow that dream. Learn to suffer through the pain, sacrifices, self-doubt, and friction from the world because when you show courage and tenacity, you will genuinely impress yourself.
Itโs okay to take risks. And in taking risks, you must know how to calculate these risks. Sometimes you take a risk on an impulse or because you think itโs a good idea, you realize afterward itโs not. Thatโs perfectly okay, but you need to be smart before jumping forward.
Itโs okay to trust people. Giving your trust is fine, but you have to remember to be careful. And if someone breaks yours, realize that itโs mainly a challenge to you. Perhaps itโs a great obstacle, but always remember that itโs not impossible to overcome. Tolerate the people who make you cry. Say thank you to them when they make you smile. Always, always trust those people who make that beautiful curve on your lips lift when tears are in your eyes.
Itโs okay to be confused. Life is full of confusion. You may be confused about your feelings- romance, affection, and decisions. Maybe, you are confused how to roll the dice to win a game. Itโs okay. It only means one thing, you are alive because your mind is working.
Itโs okay not to know the answer. There are things in life that defy explanation and itโs always difficult to live with them. How can you explain a mother who takes out the foods from her mouth and gives it to her starving child? How can you explain a beautiful girlโs decision to leave her boyfriend and disappear behind the wall of a convent? How can you explain a man who dives into raging waves of the sea to save a girl from drowning? Your heart behaves the way it does! It can love and love defies all reason.
Donโt get stuck in the past and get confused whether you let go of the things you canโt have and move on. Thank God because there are confusion and pain in life, otherwise, this world would be a boring place to live in. Thereโs always a solution in every struggle. It just takes some determination, will and a bit of sacrifice. Itโs just a matter of looking at things.
