My beloved daughter,
Have you got it in your head that your life has to be a certain way in order for you to be happy and satisfied? If you have this mindset, you may be closing yourself off to all the real and present opportunities available because you have wired yourself in a certain way. In doing so, you are not open to taking chances that may have a positive impact in your life.
And sadly, this is how the vast majority of the human population live – not taking chances or rocking the boat.
But you don’t have to be stuck in this mindset. You can change your mind!
Change is the only constant in life. Nothing ever stays the same.
You have to condition your mind to deal with life’s unexpected changes, challenges and chaos in the most effective way possible. Things will happen that are unexpected, undesirable, and uncontrollable.
When you are faced with these,
- learn to adapt,
- accept that things change constantly,
- accept these changes as a given,
- learn any lessons contained therein and grow from there,
- be open to learn from your mistakes and the mistakes of others,
- accept the new reality,
- let go of what was.
Learn how to recognise when a change is occurring, as well as when the cycle of change is completed. Take whatever has happened in that cycle of change as part of your life’s journey, close the door, turn a new page, and leave in the past those parts of your life that are over so you can better attend to the present.
This is the way to move forward with a clear and focused mind.
Life is a journey my dear. Enjoy the trip by letting go and moving on.
Love you always.
Dad
