Gratitude is only possible if you’re present in the moment you’re in.
Fear distracts us from the present moment by reminding us of the past and tainting our experience of the present.
It’s when we look for evidence in the present moment of the causes of pain from our past, that we find reason to protect ourselves from the future, while missing the value of the present.
Many of life’s beautiful moments are lost because we’re waiting for someone to recognise our struggle, or to make up for our pain.
It’s not about whether you deserve better or not.
It’s about whether you do better with what you’ve got.
Putting your life on hold while waiting for justice or revenge only puts YOUR life on hold. No one else’s.
When you finally realise this, you either have reason to rage even more because you suddenly noticed how everyone else’s lives moved on while you still haven’t received justice, or you have reason to realise that it’s your life that is being wasted for a moment that has already passed.
By all means, seek justice if need be.
However, don’t cause further injustice to yourself and to those who have rights over you by destroying the good you have while waiting for the bad to be avenged.
Gratitude is impossible when we’re fixated on the past.
And happiness is impossible if we’re afraid of the future.
It always starts with you. Now.
Own Your Life.
