Accept the glorious mess you are!

In this world of fake perfection, we all are in mess and that’s an ugly truth. We take decisions that don’t work out for us, we make wrong choices, we opt for something troublesome and more. All of this collectively makes us feel like trash, as reality hits. But it’s ok — ok not to feel ok or ok to make mistakes as it shapes our lives. For quite a long time I kept on cursing myself for everything that went wrong in my life for example — Why have I accepted that job offer in a typical dead political (cheap) organization when it was not my flavor? I was not able to perform and so I got fired. But interestingly I felt a relief, I have cried for a moment and then I walked out of that shitty office took a long walk on road side and went straight to McDonald’s and had an ice cream. That was my way to recover. I guess we all find a way to recover ourselves we just need to accept that YES, WE ARE IN A MESS!

Mind it its going to be a series of bad experiences personally or professionally. Once I was so much into this guy that I have created my own La La Land without considering that he doesn’t even wanted to apply for the La La Land visa and so yes, I have screwed it up. He left for a better opportunity (relationship) leaving me behind with a lot to think and process. This time ice cream was not the solution and the typical rant process took a bit longer than usual but eventually I recovered. I strongly feel one need to understand the situation and be open to review the entire thing. Things can only get better when you give them some time and when you are willing to change them. I know that these two are petty examples, people out there are dealing with greater issues but the idea is same. So, after meeting bunch of individuals listening to their experiences here is my take on the messy affairs.

· What the hell is this? Take a deep breath and accept that you have put yourself in a mess (you can imagine stepping on cow dung) more than this accept yourself the way you are.

· What are my options? Once you achieve that state of acceptance, try to think what can make you feel better whether it’s a long drive, meeting your friends, retail therapy, vacation, or any other thing plan it out.

· Can I talk to you now? If you really want to punch someone in their face don’t do that It will harm your positive energy instead of this talk to them or confront them, tell them that what they have done is hurtful. Let that anger out of yourself.

· What are my chances? You just need to rise and shine, keep thinking about the opportunities that you have in hand at the moment or think how can you create some exciting opportunities for yourself.

· Where is the party? If you need to party then PARTYYYYYY there is nothing bad in giving yourself sometime and consider that its not like you are running away it’s like you are in the phase of meditation.

· What are my activities? Take a shift in life and opt for some new activities go to gym, learn to swim, start painting DO WHATEVER YOU LIKE TO DO BRO.

· Is it like it is how it is? Don’t be too hard on yourself you are human designed to make mistakes so don’t compare your life to others. Trust me no one is that clean or saint as they pretend to be.

· Can I keep this to myself? Please do this for yourself talk about it and let the burden of mess out of you. Consider that it’s a toxic element sucking energy and goodness from your soul. Deal with it by sharing your thoughts with someone you rely on.

These are just thoughts — the main idea is we all make mistakes but we have to deal with it. No one will come to rescue you and its better to stop looking for external aid. Just trust yourself and make a connection with source energy. Give yourself sometime and everything will fall in place. Remember if you are a glorious mess, you are a glorious warrior too.
