Life and Acceptance

We all go through life with some doubt in our lives that brings about some unfounded questions which sometimes prevent us from achieving what we can achieve. Through childhood and adulthood, we go through tough times, through troublesome times, through times we wish time would just stop. It is through these times that we need to get through, either with help from those close to us or people who are there at just the right time. There are times I go into London and see the glum looking people going about their day to day lives, maybe because they hate their 9-5 jobs, or because they have their own issues they are struggling with on a daily basis, or just because they do not see the ability they have within themselves to create a better life for not only themselves but others as well. We are meant to connect with one another, not bring people down because we feel bad within ourselves, but to build others up and make them see the potential of their own lives.

We need to dream big. We need to lead happy lives, be happy, encourage others in paths they may see as difficult or challenging. Some people who do not see this have a fixed mindset. They are too worried about any possible change in their lives that could be the change they so desperately need, all on the basis that they are 'happy' with their current state of mind, their current agenda and way in life. However many people do not see this, we all need motivation, all need encouragement now and then. We all rely on people from time to time. Some people are too scared to ask others for help or guidance because of personal pride. Simple acts of kindness may not change the life of someone, but it may give that person something which they cannot see themselves - hope!

Some people will take it upon themselves to pull others down because they do not see this hope or have a mindset that gives them the opportunity to work on bettering themselves and others. They are forever caught up within the spiral of normal-ness, this body of life that they are 'comfortable' with. No one should ever put labels on what anyone can achieve. Why should someone else, whether it be someone you know, or a keyboard basher you have not met, try to pull you down because of a dream you are looking to chase after? Why should their inability to see their own purpose in life, their own possibility in developing into a positive person, bring others down? It shouldn't. We need to believe in ourselves, see ourselves for who we truly are - people who only have one life. We are on this earth for a finite period of time - a set number of days, months and years. Why doubt ourselves for most of this time when we can progress ourselves to be the best version of us we can possibly be. You can bring all the metaphors or similes into trying to motivate yourself, but the one person who can forever change your mindset in what you can achieve is yourself. There are so many motivational videos and posts that I have seen posted online over the last few years, that it seems almost an impossibility not to be motivated, not to be inspired to create a better life for everyone that is connected to us.

We are human! Not everyday will be perfect. There will be highs and there will be lows. It is about how we react to these lows that define us as human beings. Whether it be not getting that job you were so desperate to get, being bullied at school or at work, or dealing with possible losses within your family - I have one message for you - DO NOT STOP WORKING TOWARDS WHERE YOU WANT TO GO! I have gone through all of the above and am still standing. It may seem impossible to see an end goal when any of these situations happen to you, but there is always time for you to work on your dream, to make other people happy, to ensure other people see what you see in them. Wake up every morning and look yourself in the mirror and say 'I can do this!' and tell yourselves this every time you seemingly hit a brick wall, every time you seem lost and stressed out or upset with the way your life is going. Do not be too proud to ask others for help. Always be open for constructive criticism for your own personal and professional development. Never put yourself in an inescapable hole of self pity or doubt. Do not doubt what you can achieve. Accept everyone for who they are, see the positives in everyone, forgive those who do wrong. We are all on this planet for a reason. Our impact may not be visible to millions but even if your life affects the life of one, solitary person, then surely we can see our life as a success? We all deserve respect, friendship and a grand vision of what we want to become. Believe you can and through hard work, respect, humility, compassion and love, we can all achieve what we want to and be able to make the world a better place.
