“101 Simple Truths For A Better Life” Humble The Poet (37) “THE MORE WE LET GO, THE MORE WE GAIN”

 

Sometimes believe it or not, happiness doesn’t need to be achieved, we just have to make room for it.  Our minds can be full of anxiety, regret, resentment, and worry that there’s no room for smiles.  “Some people believe that what’s happening to them determines their happiness, but the reality is, how they deal with those things determines how they feel.”

Today is a very close ex-work colleague and great friends 50th birthday (Happy Birthday Madame Ji).  We always had this inside joke of always looking great from the outside, but no one ever knew what was truly happening in our insides.  I wished her all the best on WhatsApp and also told her that this year will be her best year yet.  I said that she will realize life is not a race, it is a wonderful prize, and she will and should start slowing down and begin to cherish even the quirky moments that once seemed garish.  Enjoy the little things in life for one day you’ll look back and realize they were the big ones.  That was my wisdom for her but can be used for all of you, including myself.

Let your yesterdays go, there will be a point where some of that pain will make sense, and some of it never will.  It’s time to enjoy our NOW moments.  “Leave the past where it belongs, the lessons will find you; focus on improving the way you feel now, it’s all you have.

“Some people believe that what’s happening to them determines their happiness, but the reality is, how they deal with those things determines how they feel.”

  My goal here is to encourage and inspire you through the trials and tribulations of my own life’s journey. They say men are typically socialized to be stoic, rational and are expected to be strong and proud in all aspects of life.  So what happens when that may have been true at one point of your life but today is not the case.  I am seeking transformation, hope, a new beginning, change, comfort, positivity and essentially a new life.   They say the wings of transformation are born of patience and struggle.  Apparently the caterpillar never feared change as it knew to fly, it was the only way.  I am here, moving ahead bravely despite everything that went wrong.  If nothing ever changed, there would be no such things as butterflies, nor Alok.  If you want to fly, give up everything that weighs you down.  How will I know I can fly if I never spread my wings.  I want to feel how wonderful it feels to fly. Wan’t to know something?  We...

“101 Simple Truths For A Better Life” Humble The Poet (40) “LESS EXPECTATIONS LESS DISAPPOINTMENTS”

  We all have expectations and I would be delusional to think that I didn’t.  Can you imagine a life without expectations?  I still have expectations of people, personally and professionally, and both still tend to let me down.  “Blame and power go hand in hand, so giving it away ,any not be the best choice”.   I, like you, have been deeply hurt by people in my past.  “Within that pain are jewels of wisdom that can put you in a position not the repeat the same foibles.  Our heart is very resilient, and it will survive even when someone steps all over it”.  If you’re anything like me, you know first hand that we can be overly dramatic, and we’re harming no one else but ourselves.  Learn from those mistakes so they don’t hopefully happen again, and again.  “Pay attention to actions over words, they’ll always be more revealing”.  No can shield you from the pain life brings, it’s actually essential to our well being.  We humans lea...
