This post was inspired by a conversation with a friend, I decided to share this with you because by the end of the conversation... I sighed a sigh of relief.
As humans, we tend to complicate things... not because we want to; just because it's human nature to do so. As humans we have this thing in us where we want to show ourselves that we are in control, that we "did this" "made this happen" "made a difference"; with all of that being said... we go out of our away -mentally- to complicate a simple issue in order to solve it (the difficult way).
-Keeping in mind that this doesn't only apply to issues; it could be something as simple as a thought that crosses our minds and we decide to take it seriously and worry endlessly until we snap out of it and get over it.-
What I like to be reminded of every now and then is the following:
PEOPLE ADAPT TO THINGS, SCENARIOS, TO OTHER PEOPLE, TO ANYTHING BASICALLY.
Why is it capitalised and in bold? So that it sticks in your mind just like it did to mine. Yes, funny thing actually, humans were designed in a way where they can easily and simply adapt to changes, but what makes it difficult? Is how we view things. Let me give you an example on that and please note that the reason why I'm using this scenario as an example is because I want to speak about something that is this big, serious, and everyone can relate to.
If you go to a person right now and ask them... would you ever imagine living in a world without one of your family members (God forbid)? The immediate response without even thinking for one second is NO! But let us take a while and look at all those who are living on this world who have suffered the loss of the closest people to them, their loved ones, people they never thought they could exist without... & guess what? They're doing it. Have you ever asked yourself how? I do all the time... and I've been there too. The beauty of being human is having a God who looks out for you, gives you strength when you least expect it. There is something that I always remind myself in difficult times... every time you go though something or face an issues, God gives you patience to be able to comprehend the pain, the loss, the inconvenience, and unfortunately the ache... & with that being said; you eventually learn to adapt.
Humans adapt, because the world doesn't stop operating because you had a bad day, you lost a friend, you lost a job, your day didn't go as planned, your marriage isn't perfect, your house could be bigger, your life could be smoother.. No.. The world stops for no one, and changes for no one. Fate will find you, sometimes it's as you wanted to be all along... Sometimes it is the exact opposite; but how you decide to adapt to your fate is what makes your life a good one or a miserable one.
So really, it's a gift to be able to adapt to things, and sometimes even to people... but it's a gift that most people don't know they have and eventually they find out about it... how? By getting over something dramatic, traumatising, huge... but still to be able to survive, to be able to hold their heads up high, and to exist. Mainly, they find out they have that gift by going through things in life, and seeing that the only way to go on is to accept what has happened, and to adapt.
People adapt to things, to people, and to unfortunate situations.
I wrote it as a fact up there, and this conclusion was the reason behind my sigh of relief.
Have a nice sigh.
