I've been reading the book 7 Habits of Highly Effective People and there's a part in it that says:
"How different our lives are when we really know what is deeply important to us, and, keeping that picture in mind, we manage ourselves each day to be and to do what really matters most. If the ladder is not leaning against the right wall, every step we take just gets us to the wrong place faster. We may be very busy, we may be very efficient, but we will be truly effective only when we begin with the end in mind."
What i've been thinking about recently is what i can do to get to where i want to be, and even more importantly - who i want to be. And how becoming who i want to be will get me to where i want to be...! Does that make sense? And this is what i've come up with!
- How much easier it has been for me to let things go when i do all things with a kind heart. And to develop that takes time, patience and most importantly an entire change of habit and outlook. But! how worth it it is to go through the day not being angry, critical or judgmental of others. And how much easier life is when you brush off when people do that to you. No one is perfect, and the only person we're hurting when we hold things against others is ourselves.
- And with that i've learned that its so important to judge not. I've realized how similar everyone is and that we're all just doing different things to find our own way of happiness. And that we all are doing things to try and end whatever suffering we may be going through (or have overcome), however that may be. We're here to genuinely help another, not hurt. To lift and not push down. And to be the people who others can come to.
I think moving on is just something you feel inside. Like one day you wake up and think "it's all okay now." just like that. And you don't wish or regret or feel angry. But i also think until you get to that day, you need to work towards it by finding your individual worth, progressing and doing things you've always wanted to for you and no one else. Staying busy and trying to be positive, even if you don't feel it.
