Little Lessons in Life

We can't have everything.

I have to accept the fact that I can't have it all. I have to learn to accept things the way they are and try to be contented with them. I shouldn't wish for something that's not there or wish for something just because another person has it. And I can't keep comparing what I have to what other people have. It'll only make me sad because there's always going to be something that they have that I don't. The point here is that I should accept things and be happy with them. How I wish it could be easily done!

There is still something good in this world. 

No matter how much life seems to be oh so crappy, there's still something good to look forward to. Things may not be going as planned. Everyone and everything may seem utterly stupid. But something good will eventually come. Or maybe I just have to take a second and look around me to see it. It comes in all sizes, be it the little things or the big ones. I just have to remember that.

Don't be afraid of what people will think of you.

Everytime I come across this, I tell myself that I should do that but it's a hard thing to do. I can't help not worry about what the others think of me. I want them to like me. I want them to think that I am good enough. I want them to think I'm cool. So I do all these things just for them to like me even if it means pretending to be someone I'm not. I know I only end up limiting myself. Limiting myself because I don't allow myself to do something else for fear that they might think it's not 'cool'.

It's time I do what I want. Be who I am. I have to stop pretending. I have to stop living a life full of lies and pretensions. It's time to be real. What does it matter if I do something not cool? It's my life. I can do anything I like because in the end I only have myself to answer. I want that when I look back, I'll have no regrets because I did what I wanted to do.

There is no such thing as the right time.

See here.

Everyday is an opportunity to do things. The idea that I can do things NOW sometimes crosses my mind out of the blue and I'm struck by the realization that yes, I can bake some cookies now or I can go out and take a walk now. But what stops me from doing these things is laziness. I tell myself that I have to wait for the right time because doing them immediately seems wrong. I think that it has to take time til I can feel that it's the right time. But guess what? That feeling never comes. I just fooled myself. I missed my chance and when I'll look back on my life, I'm gonna realize that I missed a lot because I waited to do things.
