Life’s Lessons: A Perspective on Growth and Change

"Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned." Buddha.

I often hear that I’m meant for great things, but what does that actually mean?

Success isn’t a straight path, it’s a mix of choices, timing, and sometimes, luck. Do I follow passion or security?

Take risks or play it safe? The truth is, I don’t have a roadmap, just a vague idea of where I should be heading.

Maybe success isn’t about knowing exactly what to do, but being willing to figure it out along the way.

When I stop to reflect, my mind wanders between memories, dreams, and the weight of the present.

I think about choices, those I made, those I didn’t, and the ones waiting for me. I wonder if I’ve grown, if I’ve loved enough, if I’ve been kind to myself.

Sometimes, reflection brings clarity. Other times, it only stirs more questions. But in the stillness, I find something real, a deeper understanding, a moment of peace, or maybe just the courage to keep going.

Creativity flows from the heart, not from perfection.

The Universe doesn't want you to worry, it wants you to trust.

It doesn't want you to chase your dreams, it wants you to attract them.

It doesn't want you to plead for what you want, it wants you to believe it's already yours.

The Universe doesn't want you to stress over timing. It wants you to know that everything you desire arrives at the perfect moment.

Have less fear, and more faith. And know that everything is working out in your favor.

The three C's of life: Choices, Chances and Changes.

You must make a choice to take a chance, or your life will never change.

Adulting is like trying to balance on a tightrope with a million thoughts swirling around you.

Some days, you feel like you’ve mastered it, your bills are paid, your laundry’s done, and you’ve even made time for a workout. But then, there’s a day when it all feels like too much.

There’s no instruction manual for this journey. One minute you’re chasing dreams, and the next, you're tangled in the weeds of reality.

You wonder if the road will ever smooth out, if the weight will lift, or if you’ll just learn how to carry it better.

Yet, in all the mess and the hustle, there’s growth. The quiet moments when you realize you’re more than just your to-do list. You're becoming the person who shows up, who tries, who sometimes fails but always gets back up.

Adulting is more about getting things done than about perfection. The simple truth? We're all figuring it out, one step at a time. The important part is that we're moving.

One day, you’ll realize that peace was never about silence or escape. It was always about finding stillness within the chaos.

You're going to realize it one day that happiness was never about your job or your degree, or being in a relationship.

Happiness was never about following the footsteps of all those who came before you. It was never about being like the others.

One day you're going to see it, that happiness was always about the discovery, the hope, the listening to your heart, and following it wherever it chose to go.

Happiness was always about being kinder to yourself. It was always about embracing the person you were becoming.

One day you will understand that happiness was always about learning how to live with yourself, that your happiness was never in the hands of others. It was always about you.

All the love you have given to the wrong people will find its way back to you. What a shame, it truly is that some of us have lived our entire lives under the impression that the love we had been searching for, was to be found first and foremost in anyone but ourselves.

Everything in this world is temporary. Life changes, people come and go, and seasons never last. Always remember that your present situation is not your final destination.
