Hi everyone, it's me again, @ensquared. I want to share my recent realizations and my en-thoughts about life.

We all know life is tough, so here I am reminding you all to be gentle with yourselves. I hope you can make some time to read this blog- I assure you, you'll learn a lot.

PS: You are free to disagree- I want to share my unspoken thoughts here on HIVE. Thank you for understanding.

Have you ever questioned your worth and wondered that why life is so unfair? Have you asked yourself what's wrong with you? Have you ever questioned why you are like this? Have you ever felt why you're not good enough for everyone?

If so, this blog is for you.

Last night, I could not sleep and to my surprised, I was not overthinking. Instead, I had many realizations.

Life is so simple- it just depends on how we deal with it. It's about how you react, handle situations, and what you chose to do. Because for me in the end, it is not about life itself; it's about the decisions you make.

Our decisions shapes our path. We can't control everything that happens in the world, but we can control our choices and decide of how to move forward.

If you want to read more. Please finish this blog.

So here are my realizations:

***Your mind is your biggest enemy


Did you know that our mind has a mental hard drive that stores our different kind of personality and beliefs? Yep, it does. Everything we know about ourselves is recorded in this hard drive of our personality. However, our mind is the worst story maker ever. Why? because it creates a scenarios that are not true.

It makes us overthink a lot- our future, our mistakes, our past, and even create scenarios that do not exist. If we want to grow and improve, we need to change the way we think (that's the first thing we should do). Don't get me wrong, our feelings are valid, but sometimes our reactions are not and not always prove to be reasonable. Do not let your mind eat you. Remember, you become what you think, and you also become of what you tell to yourself. To break the cycle and grow, you must change your perspectives. Stop your old bad habits, strive to be better and do better.

Start by working on your self concept. Develop a positive,clear and exciting vision of yourself. Talk to yourself positively in the mirror- trust me, it will help you build a better self image. Since your imagination is limitless, allow yourself to be limitless too.

**Learn to let go and start over
**
Sometimes, the past holds us back, making a
difficult to move on. Letting go is an essential part of healing. It could be a memories, mistakes, insecurities, and anything else weighing you down. However, you cannot start over if you keep holding on to the things that are already happened. Learn to let go and move forward. It may be tough to deal with, but it will help us grow and improve. Stop holding grudges that prevent you from moving forward. Starting over is the bravest thing that you can do. Whether you like it or not, moving forward is necessary to discover the great things await after letting go. Great doors will open only when you will close the old ones.

Dwelling on bad decisions won't change anything, but we are allowed to learn from them and use them as a lessons to make a better choices in the future- and the key to that? The key is don't be too hard on yourself. Sometimes, the process of growth is you need to deal with uncomfortable situations, but it is necessary. You are allowed to redefine yourself. Be who you truly are.

You are not failing, You are growing

I, sometimes think of myself as a failure, but the truth is, I'm growing. Want know why? Because as someone who strives perfection in every aspect, I don't want to fail. But then, I realized something- It's okay to fail. It's completely okay that we don't get the life the way we wanted. We set expectations, that doesn’t always match reality. Do you see it? Our own expectations hurt us. Failure is the key for us to figure out what doesn't work. Just like what I said. We need to get through uncomfortable situations, and failing is one of them. No one's like failing, right? But use this discomfort to push you to evolve. Always remember this: failure may be uncomfortable, but it teaches us humility and openness to learning.

***Embrace Changes ***

People change, and we will change—change is bound to happen. However, change is scary because it brings uncertainty into life. Keep in mind that change will never happen in comfort. Embracing change opens doors to more opportunities and growth. Life never stays the same.

Think about it—if you stay in the same place and don’t explore, you’re not truly living, right? It’s because we get too comfortable in routines or familiarity. Change isn't easy an will never be easy especially you don't know how to embrace it, but guys trust me, it’s worth it. All you need to do is to wait patiently. Instead of seeing change as a problem or something that bothers you, Try to romanticize it and take it as an adventure, because that’s how life should be.

Think positively. We need to embrace change because who knows? The life we really want might be waiting on the other side or waiting to our destinations.

No matter what happens, just please don’t give up. Enjoy your life. It may be hard to deal with (sometimes), but we can’t predict of what will happen in the future. Instead of regretting it, try to give it a chance. We’re not kids anymore; we need changes, challenges, and lessons in life. A new beginning is an opportunity for a fresh start. Take note, this is just a journey, not the end.

Every problem helps us understand ourselves more, revealing both our weaknesses and strengths. What matters most is how we respond to them with courage.

I'm reminding you all to work on yourself, take care of yourself, be gentle with yourself, and, lastly, don’t be too hard on yourself. Because, change should start with yourself.

Even though, I'm saying this to you. Please keep in mind to pray always and ask guidance from our Creator. His plans are better than ours.

Again, these are my realizations lately, and we have different perspectives on life. These are my unspoken thoughts. Thank you for reading! God bless you all.
