Slowly, I Accept That Things Don't Have To Go My Way So I Can Be Happy

the lion is always king

For a long time, I've been fixated on revenge.

No, I don't mean looking to hire an assassin to eliminate someone who wronged me.

I mean just wanting a tiny form of justice.

I want the apology.

I want the knowledge that my wrongdoer suffered somehow.

I want my karmic reward to come sometime.

I want a lot of external shit to be happy.


But... life doesn't work that way.

You don't get what you want all the time.

And that should be the way.

You can't keep reaching out just so you can be happy.

You gotta look within.


Accept that life doesn't make sense.

Accept that common sense isn't so common anymore.

Accept that there're good days and then there's bad days.

Accept that people will not act the way you want.


Just accept.

Then do your own shit.

It gets better.

I believe it's the little things that make us happy, we always tend to want bigger things believing that when you get this you will be happy,one can really wish for a car but once you get it,you will want something else, happiness comes with being content with what you have,knowing that even in the bad days things will get better, for sure they always do and never doing things to make others happy,always things that make you happy.

Indeed... Well said. The little things can add up.

Let Go and Let God...

That makes sense. But people go in contrary. They want God to intervene but they've vomited more than enough. Told him and her if truly you want God to intervene then keep quiet or you want to tell God what to do

The post is so right to just accept things as they are. It is very similar to letting go.

And for things that you have no control of, surrender them all to God. No need to tell God what to do. He knows everything.

So inspiring, its so unfortunate that we always want perfection which happen to be the source of our unhappiness. If we appreciate the present situation more than the expectation our happiness will not be stolen away all the time.

Justice is most of time granted by nature but I prefer to say by God. Time heal all wounds

Let karma take on the bastards ;)

Great piece of wisdom. Forgiveness is also necessary to live a baggage-free life. It beats being pissed all the time. Forgiveness is something you do for yourself. It is the best way to screw your offender, to take away his power over you.
