Life doesn't just happen.

As much as we deny this but most of us know that the strongest influence on many of the choices we make is what other people think or, more precisely, what we think, they think. I believe that this factor not only influences many of our choices, but it can actually modify the way we live our lives on a day-to-day basis.  We have given other people the right and authority to make decisions about how we are going to live our life. Life is a journey of each individual on their own. Each person goes through good & bad days, they learn while dealing with these. Have you heard someone saying “sing while there is voice left”. If you haven’t now you do! this for me means…

Live your life while you are alive!

It actually means focus on things you consider to be important to live because you don’t know when will it be your last day, last words, last act, last smile? I believe we all have something unique about us, which nobody else has. You need to explore that uniqueness about yourself because your conditions will never be perfect so we may as well take advantage of imperfect conditions to get started, while we can. What do we have to lose?

Life is full of disappointments, we can be disappointed by anyone in our life, our partners, our children, our parents, our friends and even strangers can disappoint us. This is because we have expectations from all these people around us. So we should focus on how we are going to manage these disappointments and move on with our lives making stronger efforts in achieving our dreams, goals.

Sometimes we take life for granted and forget about all the positives because the emotions are always so strong when we are disappointed. Many of people are working in jobs, which they don’t actually like but they don’t want to a risk out of their comfort zone. I have mentioned a few times that life is a journey, But it’s also the reality of the moment. I have also struggled on many occasions to accept things that were happening to me, I used to complain as well and think ‘why me’ but once I accept the situations I could move to next stages. We need to examine our lives in order to understand the causes of depression. Whether your depression is mysterious or not there are things you can do (and not do) that are likely to influence how you feel. 

So first we have to reach a point where we can accept what’s going on in our lives. One thing I have also learnt over the years is never express yourself when you are angry or sad or in any type of strong emotions. You need to take time to analyse before you make any statements or judgements. You could actually go for physical activities to distract yourself, which then further gives us a chance to self reflect. Always remember between all these disappointments in life we still have so much positive happening which we can and should enjoy.
