Things and events in life don’t usually land according to what you wish for.
It sometimes less than what you dream of or completely outright opposite of it. So what do I do if things don’t happen my way?
I still continue all the plans I have for what I wish for, expecting almost nothing in return. I don’t want to hold back myself for not doing everything possible and exhaust all my might to achieve what I wish. I want to satisfy myself that I did and give everything I could to reach it. I don’t want to look back on this when I get older and regret that I could have done this and that for what I wish for.
Yeah, I know its not easy to just accept the fact that things don’t go your way. It hurts so bad that I even think that I’m a pathetic and worthless person. Sometimes the pain will be untolerable and could make you breakdown and cry. This is the time that reality makes you realize, in your face, that you can’t have everything. But what the heck, this what makes you a better person! Life expects you to learn from this experience and you should be able learn to compensate on what you have rather than contemplate on what you could/don’t have. Life is like that, you just have to deal with it.
I’ll end this with two quotes from Harry Potter books…
“What’s comin’ will come and we’ll meet it when it does”
-Hagrid
“Understanding is the first step to acceptance, and only with acceptance can there be recovery.”
-Dumbledore
