Zeki Egeli | Reflections on Life

Thoughts, memories, observations, reflections on past and current experiences.

Keep shining through all of life’s hardships.

Thats the only way!

Life is hard, and it always will be. Challenges will come, and they will never cease to come. So the question is: Am I living a good life regardless of all the challenges, or am I a weak man who succumbs to every challenge and lives in misery?

Your quality of life and happiness depend on how well you can stay positive and keep your vibes up in the face of adversity. You are here for a short time, and life is what you make of it. See the image below:

Assume two people face many adversities in life. One of them (on top) has learned to control his emotions, mind, and vibes, and can manage to stay positive even during adversity. From now until death, he will have a life that is well lived.

The other, however, will face the same adversity, but because he is constantly reacting rather than consciously controlling his mental state, he will live a miserable life.

Two people, similar situations, two completely different life outcomes. One lived fully; the other lived in misery.

Learn to let go, relax, practice detachment, control your mind and emotions, and understand that life is hard. It always has been, and it always will be. It’s your choice whether to live a good, happy life or a life of misery. Life is what you make of it.

When you’re on your deathbed, are you going to look back and say, “Damn, life was hard, but I had a good go at it and lived fully!”? Or are you going to say, “Shit, life is over, and when I look back, all I see is misery, hurt, pain, and a life wasted dwelling in the hell of my own mind”?

The choice is yours. Are you going to attach yourself to every hurdle that comes your way and dwell on it, or are you going to see these hurdles as normal challenges of life, adapt, solve the problems, let go, push forward, and live a happy life regardless?
