The facts of life

When we are younger, the lessons we are taught make the world seem so simple. To teach us to always be kind, we should always be polite and well-mannered. But as we grow older, we realize that the world is a much more complicated place than we believed.
Sometimes the right choice is difficult and confusing. Sometimes we find ourselves in situations where we miss opportunities and make losses. Sometimes we cannot see the truth even in front of ourselves because it is too painful for us to admit it to ourselves. But as much as we like to deny some facts in life and pretend that everything is fine, to protect ourselves from the harsh realities of life, there are always some things that we know are true but we wish they weren’t. And until we learn to face these facts and accept them, we will always be involved in the same old problem and we will not be able to taste peace.

7truths that we must accept to have more peace in life

In life, there are some very bitter and yet important truths that we must accept in order to have more peace:

1-Only you can change yourself.

Just as you are responsible for your own happiness, you are also responsible for your personal growth and development. You may have made many mistakes, but until you forgive yourself for all the mistakes you made, it won’t make much of a difference. Because the only person who can make a real and lasting change in your life is you.

2.Only you can end problems.

Maybe you’re in an unhealthy relationship with someone, or you’ve had a traumatic experience. Maybe you are still grieving the loss of one of your loved ones, or you are trying to get over the person who left you. Whatever the problem was or is, it is important that you understand that although this injury is not your fault, it is up to you to recover. Ending problems and closing them is not something you get from someone else. This is something only you can give yourself. It’s a matter of what you choose to do to move forward and move on with your work and life, ending the problem brings a peace of mind that only you can give yourself.

3.Not taking risks is the biggest risk.

Although we may convince ourselves that living safe is the smart thing to do, it is not the truth. Living in constant fear of failure, hurt, and disappointment means missing out on the best and most wonderful things we can experience. After all, in order to succeed, we have to risk failure. To find love, our hearts must be broken. And finally, if you want to experience anything valuable in life like love, friendship, passion and adventure, you have to put yourself there. All these have a cost, but their price is much higher than living with regrets.

4.Quitting is the work of winners :

On the other hand, although we should not be afraid of taking risks and we should put ourselves in that position, we should know how to move forward. Despite what you’ve been told your whole life, quitting can be a good thing. Knowing when to stop, change directions, and leave a negative situation will eliminate major problems in your life. So think a lot about which fight is worth fighting and leave everything else that doesn’t help you.
Leave because they hurt you, because you deserve better conditions.

5.Don't stay in relationships that don't want you:

It is very painful to realize that the people we love and care about do not always feel the same way about us. But we have to deal with this issue sooner so that we don’t waste our time and try to protect those who don’t want us or don’t deserve our lives. You don’t need to force someone to try to keep a relationship alive. Although it’s painful to admit, we all need to let go of those partners, friends, and family members who don’t value us and instead move to a place where we are loved and welcomed.

6.Happiness is this moment:

Many of us would like to believe that one day in the future happiness is waiting for us somewhere on the road, but this is not true. It’s not something we’ll magically find when we finally get married or find our dream job, in fact, happiness is a table, not a destination. And if you can’t find happiness where you are now, then you won’t find it anywhere else. Happiness is your current life and you should be more grateful for what you have.

7.Until you don't love yourself, you can't love another person:

As cliché as it sounds, there is a lot of truth in this sentence. No matter how hard you try, no matter how perfect your relationship or your partner’s relationship is, at the end of the day, there is no amount of affection and love that can fill the void of someone who doesn’t love themselves. Until you have a good relationship with yourself, full of honesty, knowledge, acceptance and compassion, none of your romantic relationships will progress and you will not find the peace you are looking for. Worse than that, this case may even create incompatible mechanisms for you.

Peace of mind

So, do you relate to what we said here? Is there a painful or uncomfortable reality that you are struggling to deal with right now?
Whatever the problem, it’s always better to be honest with ourselves about our feelings and what they mean. Living in denial of our problems and shortcomings certainly does not help anyone, and getting stuck in our problematic ways will get us nowhere in life.
So while facing problems may feel scary, difficult and overwhelming, face them. As they say, “The only way to overcome your problems is to overcome them.” And at the end of the day, an uncomfortable truth is much better than a convenient lie.
Thank you very much for your support, dear friend
