Learning To Accept Where Life Takes You

Life can really just take you about anywhere…

Sometimes we wonder where life can take us. We don’t quite know if it will be good or bad. Life is very difficult, but maybe because we make it hard. The bigger picture of this is to see what life itself can throw at us and understanding why it is happening to us. In reality, anything is possible to really happen whether it is something that we want to happen or not. I guess it's just the process of accepting things of how they are. Although, most of the time, that is exactly where we get stuck on, acceptance. Acceptance is very important to understand; to really acknowledge why we have to learn how to accept things for how they are. Me personally, I am still struggling how to do that, but every day I take it day by day.

Accepting many things is a very hard thing to do. Sometimes you may feel angry or just really upset to the point where you just don’t know what to do. The feeling is very unusual, it keeps bothering you, it’s the only thing you can think about. I feel like it gets to the point where you just look at life like, “why man, why me?” Right? It is okay if that happens, it’s perfectly normal, nothing is wrong with that. But, I guess we can’t always blame things on life, sometimes things are supposed to happen, I quite still don’t know why, but it does.

Life for me is very frustrating, I know that nothing comes easy, although sometimes it’s just luck. I try day by day to be happy and be a better person than who I was the day before. Yes, it is difficult to accept a lot of things in my life just because I don’t deserve it. I don’t mean I don’t deserve it in a bad way, but a good way. A lot of things in my life right now are dealing with things that are hurting me, but I guess this is the process of becoming stronger than ever. The feeling I get is weird, I feel lost and confused. I feel tears running down my warm cheeks as I cry for help and to stop the pain. It’s odd to feel that way but I do. Sometimes, I need someone to help me, someone to guide me and be there every step of the way. I’ve been doing everything all by myself, and now it’s time that I actually need someone to be that motivator. Who knows, only time can tell what is right.

The meaning of life is meaningful and broad; it can just take you about anywhere. Life wouldn’t be so difficult if we learned how to be strong and accept a lot of things. It may take time, but being more aware and patient of it, it can turn into something great. Acceptance is the key to life, and for many of us if can also increase happiness. Life is a journey, but only you can control how to live it.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
