“I’m Slowly Learning.”
By Jenny Wudd
I am slowly learning that I don’t have to react to everything that bothers me.
I’m slowly learning that the energy it takes to react to every bad thing that happens to you drains you and stops you from seeing the other good things in life.
I’m learning that I’m not going to be everyone’s cup of tea and I won’t be able to get everyone to treat me the way I want to be treated and that’s okay.
I’m slowly learning that trying so hard to ‘win’ anyone approval is just a waste of time and energy and it fills you with nothing but emptiness.
I’m slowly learning that not reacting doesn’t mean I’m okay with things, it just means I’m choosing to rise above it.
I’m choosing to take the lesson it has served and learn from it.
I’m choosing to be the bigger person.
I’m choosing my peace of mind because that’s what I truly need.
I don’t need more drama in my life.
I don’t need people making me feel like I’m not good enough.
I don’t need fights and arguments and fake connections.
I’m slowly learning that sometimes not saying anything at all says everything.
I’m slowly learning that reacting to things that upset you gives someone else power over your emotions.
You can’t control what others do, but you can control how you respond, how you handle it, how you perceive it and how much of it you want to take personally and let it control you.
I’m slowly learning that most of the time, these situations say nothing about you and a lot about the other person.
I’m slowly learning that maybe all these disappointments are just there to teach us how to love ourselves because that will be the armor and the shield we need against the people who try to bring us down.
This will save us when people try to shake our confidence or when they try to make us feel like we’re worthless.
I’m also learning that even if I react, it won’t change anything, it won’t make people suddenly love and respect me, it won’t magically change their minds.
Sometimes it’s better to just let things be, let people go, don’t fight for closure, don’t ask for explanations, don’t chase answers and don’t expect people to understand where you’re coming from.
I’m slowly learning that life is better lived when you don’t center it on what’s happening around you and center it on what’s happening inside you instead.
I’m slowly learning I deserve happiness, inner peace, joy and true divine love.
I’m slowly learning know matter how much you love someone you can’t make them see through the same eyes you do.
I’m slowly learning If someone loves you enough they move mountains to be with you and prove their unconditional love.
I’m slowly learning to love myself, everything about myself and what other people think or say isn’t important it’s how I feel.
I’m slowly learning I’m enough and that I am who I am and that is enough, and if you want to accept me you will, but if not that’s fine. I’m not changing for anyone .
I slowly learning the key is working on yourself and your inner peace and you’ll come to realize that not reacting to every little thing that bothers you is the first ingredient to living a happy and healthy life.
