Life Is Not Perfect

Life is never perfect.

There's always something that will bring you down. There's always one thing that always bugged you. There's always things that we wish don't go the other way.

But the key is to keep your optimism about life. Keep counting the other 99 things that go right in your life. To keep the gratitude. By focusing on what's right about life, we won't feel so depressed when things don't go our way.

It's just life.

That's the nature way of life. There's always yin and yang. A white dot in a pool of black, and a black dot in a sea of white. It's not full. It's never full. The cup is never really full or really empty. There's always spot here & there.

Being content is another key of having a peaceful life. Knowing that you did the best you can with what you have. Knowing that you do everything you can in your power to make things right. You don't control the outcome, but you control your actions. You can choose to do the right thing. And you did! So be content with the result. It is okay to not reach perfection.

It'll be a very stressful life if we always want to reach the absolute perfection. Perfectionism kills joy. Learning to let go. Let go of things that is not within your control. You only a human. Be kind to yourself. Always.

So here's my takeaway for today's happiness:
1. Be grateful.
2. Be content.
3. Be kind. Especially to yourself.
4. Always striving for the next level, but don't give up if you don't reach it. It's okay.
5. Find what's going right.
6. Always be yourself. Everyone else is taken.

You may not have everything you want, but you have everything you need. In this imperfect life.
