Reaching Satisfaction in Life
Finding Yourself
Have you ever felt like you can't seem to figure out just who you are or meant to be? Are you tired of everyone else telling you who to be instead of helping you discover your own self for certainty? Well I'll tell you this right now. List what you know about yourself. If you're wondering why, you're about to find out.
Acceptance in Ourselves
We have a tendency to get distracted by who we would like to be like, and while it's not wrong to be inspired, we can't let it confuse us. Let's say you're obsessed with something amazing, but you have no clue about the most important thing about it. Let's say you have a one-track mind, and before you know it you're stressed and forcing yourself to be someone you're not for the sake of something you only knew the more simple side of. If you love something, it doesn't always mean it is meant to be our main thing in life, and we have to accept ourselves. Working hard doesn't mean to never discover your real self by saying trying new things is giving up. It can also mean to do your best at finding your true self. Unhappiness can often come from failure to realize we are limiting ourselves by not being open minded enough to try something new when something we worked so extremely infuriatingly hard for doesn't work out. If "Betty Sally" hates literature, writing, and gets stressed enough to tear her hair out even though she loves novels, then Betty is misunderstanding that being open isn't the same as giving up. Why freak out, when you can look deep within yourself and acknowledge who you are and move on? You could find yourself more unhappy with the stress to an extent that what you love could become what you hate. Betty can still like novels without forcing herself into a career involving everything she hates except the result. Accept your weak points after boosting them the best you can, and use them as your guide to happiness!
Get Involved
Everyone should be doing something! Draw! Paint! Write! Do music! Gain some skills! The little things you try in life can turn into something much larger! If I didn't grow up around people who like to draw and do music, I'd have never found two starting places that I could turn to in exploring and looking deeper into myself. Life has many connections. One thing leads to another, and you may wake up one day wondering, how in the heck did you end up as a famous "add the career"?
Appreciation
Are you rolling around in bed wishing you were elsewhere, or just at home envying some of the people on TV (it's good if you aren't)? Have you ever took the time to notice the good things instead of the bad? Even if some exceptional bad things are in your life, there's positivity that even it can be overcome. So many ways to get help exists for those severe things, by the way. Be glad that the air permeates in your lungs, that even if you have problems, you can become powerful if you survive it. Billions of people exist, and you are bound to meet so many people who can possibly become positive energy for you, and you may do the same for them one day. How do you get this level of appreciation, you may ask? You claim it! If the wind knocks you down, at least you can get up. If you go deaf, at least you can see. If you go dumb, at least you can hear and see enough to understand. One thing gets taken, and the other thing gets stronger. Lose a love, find a love that can complete you after the other. The more you find appreciation and the more you use your resources for more help in extreme situations, the closer to obtaining happiness.
Conclusion
Accept yourself, you're no failure for making a decision after doing all you can in something you discover is not for you. Explore yourself through many activities that just may lead to destiny. Find appreciation in every step of the way, and you'll gradually turn into the most mature and best "you" that you can exponentially become. If you need serious help, remember that you don't have to be alone, for many people exist on this planet, and someone "will" be willing to help you change your life! I love you readers and none-readers!

Embracing The Darkness
In the depths of night, when the world is cloaked in shadows and silence reigns, there exists a realm of solitude where personal narratives unfold. It is in these moments, alone in the dark, that we confront our deepest fears, grapple with our innermost desires, and embark on a journey of self-discovery that transcends the boundaries of time and space.Every individual possesses a unique narrative, a tapestry of experiences woven together by the threads of joy and sorrow, triumphs and tribulations. These narratives, like constellations scattered across the night sky, guide us through the labyrinth of life, illuminating our path with the light of self-awareness and introspection.For some, being alone in the dark evokes a sense of trepidation, a fear of the unknown that lurks in the shadows. Yet, it is precisely in this darkness that we find the courage to confront our deepest fears, to face the demons that haunt the recesses of our minds. It is here, in the silence of the night, that we discover the strength within ourselves to emerge victorious, to transcend the limitations of our fears and emerge stronger, more resilient than before.In my own personal narrative, the darkness has been both a source of solace and a crucible of transformation. There have been moments when I have felt lost in the labyrinth of my own thoughts, overwhelmed by the weight of uncertainty and doubt. Yet, it is in these moments of darkness that I have found the clarity to see beyond the illusions of fear and uncertainty, to embrace the light of hope and possibility that resides within me.One such moment occurred during a period of profound loss and grief in my life. As I grappled with the pain of saying goodbye to a loved one, I found myself consumed by darkness, engulfed in a sea of sorrow that threatened to drown me. In those long, lonely nights, I felt the weight of despair pressing down upon me, suffocating me with its relentless intensity.Yet, it was in the midst of that darkness that I discovered a glimmer of light, a flicker of hope that refused to be extinguished. It was the memory of my loved one, their laughter echoing in the chambers of my heart, their spirit guiding me through the darkness like a beacon in the night. In their absence, I found the strength to carry on, to honor their memory by living my life with purpose and passion.In the silence of the night, I began to unravel the tangled threads of my grief, to find meaning amidst the chaos of loss. I sought solace in the beauty of nature, finding solace in the gentle embrace of the moonlight as it bathed the world in its soft, silver glow. I found comfort in the words of poets and philosophers, whose wisdom illuminated the path ahead with its timeless truths. Slowly but surely, I began to emerge from the darkness, like a phoenix rising from the ashes of despair. With each passing day, I felt the heaviness in my heart begin to lift, replaced by a sense of peace and acceptance that I had not known before. I realized that while the darkness had tested my resolve, it had also forged within me a resilience that would carry me through even the darkest of times.Today, as I look back on that journey through the darkness, I am filled with gratitude for the lessons it has taught me. I have learned that even in our darkest moments, there is always a glimmer of light to guide us forward, to remind us that we are never truly alone. I have learned that it is in facing our fears that we find the courage to transcend them, to embrace the fullness of life with open arms.In the tapestry of personal narratives that weave together the fabric of human experience, the darkness is but a thread, a fleeting moment in the grand symphony of life. Yet, it is a thread that holds within it the power to transform, to inspire, to illuminate the darkest corners of our souls. And so, as I journey forth into the unknown, I do so with a heart full of hope and a spirit renewed by the wisdom of the darkness.
