WHY I DON’T REACT TO EVERYTHING.

I’m 'Slowly' Learning That I Don’t Have To React To 'Everything' That Bothers Me.

I’m slowly learning that I don’t have to hurt those who hurt me.

I’m slowly learning that maybe the 'ultimate' sign of maturity is walking away instead of getting even.

I’m slowly learning that the energy it takes to react to every bad thing that happens to me drains me and stops me from seeing the other good side of things in life.

I’m slowly learning that I’m not going to be everyone’s cup of tea and I won’t be able to get everyone to treat me the way I want to be treated 'and that’s okay.'

I’m slowly learning that trying so hard to ‘win’ Everyone is just a 'waste' of time and energy and it fills me with 'nothing' but emptiness.

I’m slowly learning that not reacting doesn’t mean I’m okay with things, it just means I’m choosing to 'rise' above it.

I’m choosing to take the 'lesson' it has served and learn from it I’m choosing to be 'the bigger' person.

I’m choosing my 'peace of mind' because that’s what I 'truly' need. I don’t need more drama. I don’t need people making me feel like I’m not good enough. I don’t need fights and arguments and 'fake' connections. I’m slowly learning that sometimes 'not' saying anything at all says everything.'

I’m slowly learning that reacting to things that upset me gives someone else power over 'my' emotions.

I can’t control what others do but i can control how i respond, how i handle it, how i perceive it and 'how much of it' i want to take personally. I’m slowly learning that most of the time, these situations say nothing about me and a lot about the other person.

I’m slowly learning that even if I react, it won’t change anything, it won’t make people suddenly love and respect me, it won’t magically change their minds.

Sometimes it’s better to just let things be, let people go, 'don’t' fight for closure, 'don’t' ask for explanations, 'don’t' chase answers and 'don’t' expect people to understand me.

Enough word for the wise.

Fall for a woman who doesn’t need you.
One who has rebuilt herself from nothing,
more than once, with her own two hands.
One who is delicate like fire,
who could scorch earth
or warm your soul.

Fall for a woman who isn’t afraid to burn
for what she believes in,
and refuses to force
what isn't meant to be.

Fall for a woman who lights up
when impassioned,
who still romanticizes life,
and is awed by the beauty of the moon.

Fall for a woman who isn’t afraid
of who she’s becoming,
and expects the best of everything.
One who refuses to settle,
and will challenge you to grow
in ways you never knew.

Fall for a woman who is so loyal,
so faithful and determined,
that there’s no room in her life
for anyone who isn’t.

Fall for a woman who sees your pain
and imperfections
as something to pour her love into.
One who accepts people
for what they show her,
not what they promise or claim.

Fall for a woman who values her time so much
she won’t waste it anywhere it isn’t appreciated.

Fall for someone who will inspire greatness
in you,
and who moves you in the direction
of your dreams.

When you find her, be there entirely, bravely,
wholeheartedly.
Give her your hands,
your energy, patience, and attention.
And show her there is no place safer
than the place right beside you.
Then, no matter what,
don’t let her down.

— J. Raymond, from Spades/Let Her Run.

Sometimes people will misinterpret your kindness as foolishness and stupidity,
But you have to act kind anyways.
Sometimes people will misinterpret your pure love and sincere care as a sign for weakness and take advantage of it.
Love and care the same anyways.
Sometimes you will make mistakes, overestimate people, even give your heart to those who have never deserved and get your heart badly broken,
It doesn’t mean you’re any less intellectual,
It doesn’t mean that your foolish or naive,
Never doubt yourself,
And it doesn’t matter if some doubted you or thought of you the wrong way,
You are who you are..
with those big mistakes, let downs and failures.
Just a pure sincere human being who can’t fake it and does everything their way.
So never worry about what they say.

8 LESSONS FROM 365 DAYS WITH SELF DISCIPLINE

1. Self Discipline Is Hard

Self-discipline means living your life the hard way: resisting temptations and instant gratification, in order to receive bigger and better rewards in the future. It’s certainly easier to avoid all kinds of discomfort and indulge yourself whenever you want, but in the end, all that you get from that approach is fleeting pleasure now at the expense of your future, which otherwise could have been much better.

2. One Decision Can Set A Wrong Precedent

It takes only a moment to make the wrong choice and jeopardize your future. What feels like an insignificant decision today can have a great, lasting impact on your future. Each choice sets a precedent — and when you make the same wrong choice several times in a row, it becomes your standard modus operandi .

3. You Have The Ability To Be Disciplined

Humans have the capacity to act against their urges in exchange for a better future. Unfortunately, many people live by the principle of “if it feels good, do it, and if it doesn’t, don’t do it.”

Caving in to your temptations whenever you feel them emerge is like relinquishing your humanity, in a way. As an intelligent human being, you have an ability — and I daresay an obligation — to make decisions that are based on rational thinking, not on your instincts alone.

4. Be A Better Human

Strive to be a better human and embrace your humanity by exercising your “willpower muscle,” instead of succumbing to your most primal (and least helpful for your long-term goals) part of the brain. Your most primal instincts may provide temporary comfort, but seldom are good for the long term, except when there is a direct threat to your survival.

5. Setup Systems For Self Discipline

Prepare yourself for difficult situations by putting up roadblocks ahead of time, when your resolve isn’t being tested. Your self- control system will do some of the heavy lifting for you, leaving your reserves of self-discipline to be used for the unplanned situations, when they arise.

6. It Is Up To You

While external circumstances can affect you, in the end, whether or not they control your life depends on you. Just like James Allen said, when you achieve self-mastery, no one (and no thing) will have the power to enslave you.

7. Everyone Is Struggling

Behind the scenes, everyone struggles in some areas of their lives.

8. Make The Choice Today

The person you’ll become in ten years will most likely not be the same person you are today, but it will still be you — and it’s in your hands whether, ten years from now you’ll look back and feel glad you extended self-empathy well into the future, or find that you decided to be selfish and steal from your future for some fleeting pleasure today.
