reflections on the world we live in

How we experience the world is affected by our perception of the world that we live in - or so people say. I used to believe that the world is not on my side, that whatever good thing I have will always be taken away.

Funny thing about our brain, we have a heightened sensitivity towards negativity and negative cues - we notice more bad things happen compared to the good things, and whenever bad things happened in my life, I saw it as more proof supporting my belief that the world is not on our side, the side of the little people trying to make something out of the life we are currently living. And so the downward spiral continued, spilling out into reality and making a mess out of my life - that was a few years ago.

Luckily my life have changed for the better since I slowly stopped running away from everything and started to look within. It took me years to get to this point, and I’m still not done growing. Yet I am grateful all the same for all the positive things and the peace of mind I am able to have in my life.

I’m happy with what I have now - and that is something I never thought I would be able to say a few years ago. Here’s to more positive growth for years and years to come for us all.
