Sometimes, life throws you curve balls. Your hope gets broken and pain fills you up. Life seems like a constant tug and pull. You don’t know what to do. I felt this way many times in the past. The future was hazy and the past just kept bringing up hurt.

When this happens, keep moving forward even when you’re not sure where you’re heading.

Take Responsibility

Life throws you curve balls, but if you look deep enough, there are certain things you could have done better. There are cautions you could have taken. Yes, life is unpredictable, but you can’t pinpoint everything on some outside force or another person. You have to take responsibility and accountability for what happened, so you can move forward with ease. Otherwise, you get stuck in the blame game.

For example: to some extent, my father’s stroke was unpredictable. But we could have gotten health insurance and managed our finances better. The signs were there from earlier that all was not good in those departments and my father could have carved out time for relaxation. We take responsibility now and have been managing our finances and other areas a lot better.

Live With No Regrets

No matter what happened, you can’t keep blaming yourself or someone else or even an external circumstance. It happened. Period. Move forward now. You have your present and future in your hands.

Leave the Past Behind, Only Take the Lessons

Leave the past behind. It’s where it belongs. Don’t keep whipping up the past. It’ll only drag you backwards. Let go of the past. Only take the valuable lessons and apply it to your life going forward.

Trust in Your Beauty and Greatness

Most of all, believe in your worth. You are your own beautiful gift and if you search deep enough, all the answers lie within you. Your inner guidance will whisper all of them to you.
