Don’t sweat the small stuff

 

People tend to take life too seriously, stressing about the small things. It is hard not to, do not get me wrong, I tend to let things get to me more then they should. However, I have started saying to myself, if this doesn’t actively affect my well being or my life in the long run, I will not let it get me down. Money, and work are a big factor in the stress department. Lately I have felt that people are getting lazier and I have to pick up the slack, and it is not fair really, especially when you are suppose to be a close knitted team. In the job I am in, if there is one loose thread then everything unravels and the pressure to keep everything running smoothly when tasks have not been correctly is so high. The burning in my chest began to build as I got myself more and more worked up and stressed over it all, until the other day. I had a revelation, I took a deep breath and thought to myself people are just imprudent and do not care so why should I work myself up about it. I just handle the situation and know that I am a better and hard working person that will get me far in life.

Life is short. You could get hit by a bus tomorrow, simple. Live for today not tomorrow as believe it or not tomorrow never comes around, mistakes will be made in the process but they will make you a bigger better person, shrug of the petty arguments and deal with the serious ones in your own time. Its your life, no one else has the capability to live it for you hence never let others make your decisions! Live your life to the maximum of your own potential! Don’t take any negativity  from anyone, as negativity comes from somewhere deep basically just have a laugh, after all ‘Life is only as serious as you make it’.

The smaller things in life.

 

A cluster of tiny twinkling lights,

a life is happening within..

Children playing, couples arguing,

talking, sleeping.

Peaceful and beautiful-

blissfully unaware of the torment

that could be happening within those

sparks of life…

Growing apart

Growing apart. One of the worst feelings ever. Lately I’ve had the feeling that I’ve been growing apart from someone very close to me. We use to tell each other everything we were like the best of friends so close, nothing came between us..no judgement only kindness and support. Things recently changed in her life and the friendship we had has never been the same since. Its not her fault, or anyone elses for that matter, she has bigger and more important priorities now and i look up to her so much for it all, she doesn’t need to put up with all my crap. and its because of this that I feel like we are becoming strangers even though we talk everyday.. but not like we use too.. I feel lost and scared. I’m becoming a stranger to her as much as she is to me.. I don’t feel like I can talk to her about things like I use to.. She’s got so much going on in her life I don’t want her to worry about me..I’ve known her all my life she’s always been there for me as I have for her. She is my role model. I look up to her because she is such a strong person. She is my best friend and my mother and I miss her!

Questions..

Questions, one constant thing in a persons life. Thousands of questions will be asked in a life time. But its the questions that we ask ourselves that can be the most damaging. They can kick start over thinking and worrying. From experience I know that over thinking can be a bad thing as it can stop you from doing may things in your life.  ‘What if’ is a double barreled term which, both a positive and negative term. It is used by most and can probably be seen as one of the most common questions that people ask themselves. ‘What if’ I did that differently or what would/ could have happened if I had have done that..Life is too short to question past decisions. They were made for a reason and at the time you could have justified them but maybe the justification for those decisions have been lost along the way. It can also be used in a powerful way. Instead of going straight to the no i cant do this, say to yourself what if i was to… and how amazing that experience could be. It will uncover a whole new world of possibilities which you didn’t believe could ever happen. I, like so many people take the easy option of the back seat, and maybe that just isn’t enough anymore. I need to take risks and live for the day. Cliche I know! but true…remove the cant with a can or include a but.. I cant but.. it changes everything, opens so many doors. Be positive and be active towards life. This started for me when i volunteered for a festival. I was so negative, thinking I would never get it as there are people out there better than I for the position. But I bit the bullet and applied, I was so nervous and turns out I would in fact get an interview and later find out I was part of the volunteering team. Its a little step I know, but the world wasn’t built in a day, and changes don’t just happen over night. It turns out that It was the best experience of my life so far. Met amazing people and had the time of my life.. take little steps and it could lead you to a happier more exciting life.. Dont hold back, what do you have to lose??
