Reflection # 1
Life is precious. Life is short. You can get all of the money in the world, and live in the biggest house, and go through multiple lovers, and still be unhappy. Hey, maybe money is what makes you happy. But I believe that it's the people you choose to spend your life with that make you happy, for the most part. The other part of happiness comes from making it yourself. You make your own happiness in life, through acceptance of your past decisions, through understanding what you want in life, through being content with who you are as a person.
How can someone love you, if you can't even love yourself, right? Right.
And I don't mean love in a conceited way, I mean love in a content sort of way. Like accepting the fact that you don't have the perfect body, or you're not good at Math or English. But despite all that, you are happy with who you are, and you know you have people who love you, and you are not afraid to be yourself anymore.
It's what is in the heart that shines through and makes a person beautiful.
"Love is seeing the imperfect person perfectly."
Imperfections is what makes us so perfect. How else can we learn and grow? If everyone was perfect then there wouldn't be a need for schools, for governments, for anything. Life as it is meant to be lived would cease to exist. Its bright flame would be extinguished from our eyes.
So, in order to be content in life, one must learn acceptance for oneself.
That's my reflection for the day.
