SOPHIE’s CHOICE🙋♀️😌😊
A very small write-up about how we start Learning to accept things naturally as time progresses. It’s so factual that “Time is the silent healer and a teacher as well” 👍🏻.
When we are young we don’t have to understand what is to make hard or easy decisions mean. As we lead a very carefree life without any restrictions, responsibilities or restraints. As simple as that. As time passes we are thrown into situations where we have to make both hard and easy decisions. But, how does this transformation happen in us?. Life teaches each of us slowly and steadily like a teacher but without any cane to force upon to learn. Amazing!!! Isn’t it?
I started life as a happy go lucky girl ( that doesn’t mean I am sad now😀) )like a butterfly in my growing years. Didn’t realise when life taught me to become wiser, matured, tolerant with patience . It is a natural process, without me realising that I am a learning something new. Of all the things taught by life, the most important thing I have learnt is “ACCEPTING and NOT EXPECTING”. These two qualities have helped me understand and take hard decisions when needed. When these qualities are imbibed in us, slowly “TOLERANCE “ gets added to these qualities. When these three are together then to take hard decisions becomes slightly easier. It’s a tough and slow process to imbibe these qualities in us.
The hardest decision I have ever had to make ,is to accept people, friends, grown up children as they are. This is not easy as it is read, as it is a tough task to be followed by. I was a person who had expectations from all relationships and friendships. And believe it or not, It was too much to handle after a limit. As the upheaval of emotions due to expectations was bottling up layer after layer which was ready to burst some time or the other. Slowly and steadily I learnt to adapt the principles of accepting and not expecting from anyone. The hardest and toughest decision was when I decided to apply the same for kith and kin.. This is still a task which I am finding it immensely tough at times to follow. After all mind and heart doesn’t sync together always.Isn’t it? The battle is on with the hope of learning as life teaches and preaches us silently.
The reason to align with these qualities is to be at peace with oneself and not get rattled by minor or silly things happening in day to day life. Usually silly things are the major cause which give roots to problems and complications. To avoid all this, it would advisable to learn slowly to adapt to these qualities and make life bit easier . It would be helpful to lead a hassle free life, as years pass by for everyone. There are no two ways about it. Life just preaches and teaches silently which we all have to accept may be slowly but for sure. .
LISTENING TO HEART MAKES ONE EMOTIONAL, but, LISTENING TO MIND MAKES ONE STRONGER”. Again this is my Gospel. Not necessary, that it should match with everyone’s Gospel.




“ACCEPTING and NOT EXPECTING”.
