It's been over a month since I've posted and there's been an enormous amount of things going on. To sum up the past month- College is everything you'd expect it to be and more. I've met some people that I couldn't see my life without, and I've met others that I wish I never had. Which brings me to why I remembered my blog and wanted to post.
Take a moment one day and just sit down and think about all of the things that you've let go; moved on from. Then think about the things you gained from letting those things go. Are you happier now? Or are you stuck in the same position as myself of not knowing whether you're truly happier or not?
We move on to let go of the things that once made us happy that no longer do. When moving on we find new problems, but a wise person will never face the same problems.
I can't say that I am completely content with where I am in my life, but I can say that I am hundreds of times happier then I was a year ago, even two months ago. So the best advice that I can give to anyone dwelling on the past, wondering if the choices you've made have put you in a better position today, is to remember that you CANNOT change any decision you've made before now. You cannot change what you chose yesterday, let alone a year ago. The past is gone and it is not going to come back. So rather than depressing over what was, thrive off of what tomorrow can be. Become the person you want to become, surround yourself with the people you want to surround yourself with, and always, ALWAYS look out for YOUR best interest in life. Take what is given to you and make the choices YOU feel necessary to make it better.
I'm not all the way there, but I feel happier with everyday that I learn to let go and not worry about the things that I cannot control.
Courage is not the absence of fear, but simply moving on with dignity despite that fear.
-Pat Riley
