If you are like me, it is possible that you have been stressing out about a certain event that was about to happen and have been really scared about the possible outcomes that it could have ended up with, only to find out that it was not at all like you were expecting. That thing that was looking very scary in the first place, ended up becoming a valuable experience that did not make us become dived into sweats and break our relationships. It was simply another event that has taught us the importance of paying attention to our work and become more responsible in terms of the quality and the dedication that we devote to our jobs.
The people around us are most likely not conspiring against you and you are simply unnecessary putting a lot of burdens on your shoulders. There are several possible outcomes and it is probably not only one outcome that you would want to accomplish. We are sometimes harsh towards ourselves: we have a lot of expectations of how failure should look like, but reserve only one manner how we might treat an outcome as a pleasant result that deserved all the earlier efforts.
We should start to educate ourselves that happiness and success and the way they have been presented to us might not be worth aiming at. Other people’s definitions can be only based on their perceptions which should not shape the way we live. There are a lot of other emotions that are worth feeling and the definition of success that you should only have a job that is easy for you to work at and that gives you a solid salary might not be the one that is acceptable and should not be.
Imaging your future in such a way that it becomes an environment that is a source of your anxiety and stress that you might feel is a destructive action and it is only an alternative, though you might already be informed about that, but tend to think that it is the only way of consideration. Moreover, you also know that imaging it like that in most of the occurrences in the past has not shown any sign of progressive impact in your endeavors. Life might not be as difficult as you might think about it. There is time to work and time to relax, and you must accept the reality that there are sometimes some outcomes that are out of your control, but you can control your reaction towards them. “Today is the tomorrow we worried about yesterday.” – Ann Brashares
