One of the most common stages of life that everyone is bound
to go through is that of change. What really defines us, the real person we are,
is the way we respond to these changes.
What I have observed over the years of my life and those of
people around me is that, nothing in life is constant except perhaps the fact
that circumstances are always going to change.
We anticipate our lives to unfold in a particular way and
put ourselves through difficult situations to attain this visioned ideal
life. After all the hurdles, we struggle
through and not get the desired results we are bound to be upset but this is
the harsh reality of life.
This isn’t me saying that you should not fight for what you
believe in, this is me saying that after we, in our individual capacity, have
tried all that we can, we should not fight the change but accept it and move
on.
Living in the past or even thinking about the past would not
just upset you but most definitely affect a potentially brighter future. We
need to learn to accept certain aspects of our life (if they don’t pan out the
way we thought it would) and learn to the live with the change.
Many people immediately resort to “regretting” their actions
and assuming that it was an utter waste. This is wrong. Nothing in life is
every wasteful or a regret.
I have gone through many not-so-ideal situations and have
made some utterly impossible decisions and have done everything I could (however
stupid and impractical my actions / decisions might seem) to stick to them but
never have I once regretted my actions.
I most definitely will continue to make rash decisions and
almost always find myself in a pickle, but one thing I know is I would not
regret it.
Living life is all about fighting and striving to attain the
impossible. But what we should remember is that just because our life took a
tiny detour doesn’t mean we should give up totally and start regretting our
actions.
Change is ever green and denying it only makes our life harder.
Let the past be the past, bygones be bygones. Accept the
changes and move on. Spending time doubting and regretting our actions only makes
us more miserable and dissatisfied with life.
Life has much more to offer… Just give change a chance...
