A little dose of existentialism.

Maybe at the end of the day, everything is meant to be and there are no coincidences.

Is there a before and after in this life? Or is everything connected, and we just clearly see the before and after once we experience the consequences of our acts?

Maybe everything is interconnected and at the end of the day we can’t escape our destiny, but we can master our fate. 

What do I mean by this? Oh well, some self-sabotage we can’t avoid. Some things we just do recklessly, and we only realize we fucked up when we get our consequences. But what about all those times when we are aware something is harming us and decide not to stop doing it? In those instances, then we are creating our fate, our luck, and our destiny.

Life is like an iceberg and we tend to only see the top when there’s so much more to it than just the top. Sometimes our nature as humans make us self-sabotage. Our brains consume and experience tons of traumas and responses that we are not even aware of.

Our beliefs tend to dictate the way we live our lives without even questioning things.

Self-sabotage often comes from a place of pain, lack of self-worth, and self-esteem. Decisions you take from pain and carelessness only cause more pain and that’s why no matter what you are going through it's so important to understand that in this universe everything is magnetic. And as much pain you are going through or have gone through in the past dwelling on it won't make it any better.

I do believe everything is interconnected and the things that cause you the most pain are the ones to teach you the most as well if you allow them.

When it comes to the pain that self-sabotage causes victimization is one of the worst perspectives humans can decide to adopt. When you victimize and sit crying about your pain you are wasting all the energy you could be using to do something that would help you move forward and out of your negative emotions.

Be kind to yourself, get up for yourself, grief what you have to grief but keep going.

Forgive yourself and keep your head up.

And take life seriously but not too seriously!

Why take life seriously but not too seriously?

Seriously because every act has a consequence, and it feels ugly to have so much regret about decisions you took consciously or unconsciously. But, at the same time not too seriously when you tried your best and things didn't go your way.

Being honest with yourself is the key as well, being able to recognize when you are barely trying is very powerful because that means you are ready to unlock a superior level of your capacity and inner power.

Every action has a cause and effect. Lately, I’ve been asking myself more why I do things and then I get an answer most of the times.

With love,
