The Quiet Disappearance of What No Longer Serves Me

in Reflections16 days ago

I could think that cynicism was just part of my personality, like it was something like a shield that I carried around to protect me from all those disappointments I've faced in life, but I don't notice how heavy it has become until life began to shift from its normal self.

One day I just realized this cynicism disappears when you are at the point of your life where you're just happy. So it didn't happen overnight. Started with by setting my clay goals, having small wins and doing the work that first made me from waking up to that excitement.

Feeling so grateful for what has happened so suddenly the world didn't just look so dark anymore. It was perfect but I no longer expected to keep feeling like before. So I had that room. to be hopeful.

The same thing happened with when it comes to me being angry. For a long of time I was facing some kind of frustration like something like keep burning inside me that I could not let out because of so much anger. Most of it wasn't about big event but just stress of being surrounded by wrong people doing the wrong things to me at the wrong time. Having the wrong conversation having some wrong relationship.

When I finally started creating that space for people that cared about me when I started concentrating on those people that are only interested in me. I was willing to generally connect with people and to stay close to those who wanted the best for me and with time. Why I also went out because I learned some special techniques or anything but I was fighting because I was going to fight in the environment that needed me the most.

Anger disappears happily and easily when you're happy with people who you are surrounded with so and every truth does not and everything which is one of the secrets I used to see people achieving things feeling like I'm far behind trying to be jealous and not feeling enough of myself.

But the day I stopped comparing myself to someone else everything began to soften and I started noticing sometimes things that I love about myself. My strengths, my flaws and all that weird things about me that I thought was a big problem.

I understood that happiness with time grows when you stop trying to be liked or trying to achieve what others have achieved and following your own path. So don't let any of this disappear. It's when you are happy with yourself.

I'm not complaining or claiming to be perfect or happy in my life but I don't know if it's perfectly or completely happy in your life but. I'm just saying that the more that I build something, the more life feels right, the more I
surround myself with something or people that bring out the best in me and accept the version of what feels right in me.

The few are about to have to fight inside my own head. Sometimes happiness is not just that loud thing. Sometimes it's just about that quiet disappearance of things that we no longer need in the future.
