I believe that happiness is something we all deserve to feel. Maybe happiness for you is getting good grades, eating yummy foods, buying new books, or even just receiving a compliment from a stranger.
Everyone views happiness in different aspects. But for me, happiness is finally realizing that life is not a race. Everyone has different paths, speeds, and destinations. Feeling behind doesn’t mean you’re not going to end up where you’re always meant to be.
Something I can’t help but compare myself to other people who are already successful and achieve many things in life. I started to wonder why I can’t be like them. But come to think of it, maybe because I’m not them. Maybe because my path is different.
I want you to know that if you’re feeling lost and behind — please remind yourself that it’s your first time living too. No one knows all the shortcuts to success. No one knows how to achieve everything instantly. Everything needs to be learned. All the lessons and experiences you have are data. It’s information, adding to your knowledge and wisdom. Carry it with you, moving forward. And someday, you’re going to end up where you always meant to be.
Be gentle with yourself. Our present moment plays a vital role in who are and who we become. Like all the flowers in the hills, you’re always going to bloom at your own pace. It’s your first time living too and I know you’re going to figure it all out!
"We are meant to experience bad things to get the lesson that it came with so we can grow to the people that were always meant to be."
