But You Are Either the Solution or the Problem Itself

All of us have different narratives that consist of a different situation, events, and people with difficulties in our daily lives, but what makes someone different from others is the way how they react to those situations, events, and people. One of the great thinkers Said;

“Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it” — Charles R. Swindoll.

This proves that we are responsible for our lives and it doesn’t matter who raised us, where we were born, which country we are, which color we are, which background we are holding, which education we have, or where we come from. It only matters where we are now and where we are trying to go. Game over!

Your life is in your hand 100%” if you’re against this statement just know that “You are the problem” and not only that but also you are not even responsible for your life and you feel good and happy to keep using situations, events and people in your surrounding defines your life and who you are.

It is my hope that you do really have an ideal life inside your imagination about who you want to be, what kind of dream inside your imagination you keep holding and what kind of life you want to live, but situations, people and different events (you call them difficulties) in this life keep holding you back and the bad thing is you choose them to be your reality, you choose them to define you and accept them just like the way they are.

Allowing people, situations or different events define your life is like giving yourself 100% mark in your exam while you do really understand your IQ, you simply know the truth but anyway you choose to live the lie, being scared how people will say about you, how people will see you if you get a 50% mark, its more about fulfilling others expectations and forgetting what really fulfills you.

“We accept the life we live, do the things we do not because we have to but because we decide to live just like the way it is, even though we still need to see or achieve more”

Most of us are too busy hiding and pretending that we live a fulfilling life, but when it comes down inside us, we are not feeling that way. Let me ask you one thing, what are you hiding, protecting, or defending? You have your ideal life inside your imagination, why can’t you be responsible, stop blaming others, and live your life? Sometimes it may seem impossible to the small mind but for those who live their dreams, they understand what they are fighting for and what they are standing for in their life, by supporting their big dreams.

If you have something to fight in this life, something like your big dreams, you will find yourself that you have power and you can do anything and go for what you are looking for, no matter how much money you have, how many brilliant people you know, how many times you fail all of this reasons will never be obstacles to you but you will only see a clear path simply because you understand that you are responsible for your life and furthermore you are not there to blame anyone.

The kind of life you are living right now, whether it fulfills you or not just know you are responsible for that kind of life, it’s not your parents, your leaders, your government system, your president, your spouse, your girlfriend, it is YOU! YOU and YOU, alone! So please stop hurting yourself, stop putting yourself down and realize that you are the problem, you are responsible for that situation but the good news is YOU ARE POSSIBLE to turn those situations in a way that you want them to be.

If you start working on yourself you will come to realize that no one is hurting you more than your own reality that comes from your own thoughts. If you want to live your dreams, you want your dream job, you want a happy life just give yourself permission and go for it because “the only limit that you have is, in your mind.”

START TODAY, allow yourself to see this life in a different way, choose to be responsible for everything in your life. You will come to discover that, you have unlimited power within you, you have the power to choose and you are free to choose anything that you want, anything that you want to accomplish. You will understand different narratives in your life and how to deal with them too, life will be in your control, and when it comes you face the same situations, events, or people you will be able to choose them in or let them go freely and happily. You will learn to stand up to yourself, inside yourself.

At the end of the day we have to understand that, our life in this world is meant to be happy, live a happy life and enjoy every single moment in your life and to be able to do that you do really have to be responsible for your life because no one can bring all the things that you want, except you.

You must WORK on you and DO you first.

If you want to accomplish something or you would like to accomplish something in this life, you must first expect it from yourself. — Wayne Dyer
