Sometimes when reality catches up with you, you stand and watch with your mouth open most especially if you never expected it to happen. It doesn’t really matter if it’s a good thing or a bad thing. Now accepting reality sometimes can be very hard mostly if it has not gone our way. I honestly find that hard too but I have just realized is that the faster you accept it the faster the pains disappear. Facing the reality of losing a job, a child, partner and many other things that matter to us is not easy. Sometimes things just don’t work out as we wanted them to.
The accepting part can also be looked into two dimensions. The first one is accepting that some people like us while we don’t. Knowing that you are loved and cherished by someone you don’t can be very discomforting but we can’t make them stop. As a matter of fact, you also love people who don’t even waste time to look at you. Be proud that you are at least loved by somebody. Love is love. It doesn’t matter where it going or coming from. The second part is accepting no matter how you try, you can’t get what you want. Harding working pays but it’s not always.
This doesn’t mean that we should not work hard but if our success is against the odds, well, let’s accept and let it go. I have also come to understand over the years that sometimes we waste a lot of time trying to make something work when it can’t and in the end, we lose time and other opportunities. Had it been that the time and effort lost were invested in something else, things could have changed for the better.
Acceptance and reality are not easy but life has to go on with them.

you are right. its always hard to accept but it saves a lot of pains and stress
ReplyDeleteI agree that all too often we waste time trying to make something work. We need to accept the fact that some things are meant to be and somethings are not. I am going to follow you.
