For me, pushing yourself to breaking point has led me onto some of the best places, allowed me to be around some of the best people in the world and mostly of all... it has gave me a different perspective on what I want from this life I live. Why I talked so positivity about breaking to begin. The key within it all is simple "Don't give up, keep moving forward" it sounds simple, but in reality it can be hard to recognise at your time of breaking point that You Can.
What does it take until you break? When I reflect on times in my life when I have struggled, became drained and mentally (which I wasn't aware of) damaging myself. It indicates to me that I wasn't listening to my mind/body and what it was telling me. At times in your life you need to stop, from running yourself down and additionally making yourself worse in situations or environments you find yourself in."You can't break down, you've got to break through" Instagram - garethmccauley
This quote was uploaded by myself to my instagram, it reflects my thoughts and the message I am trying to get across to you. The message is this, no matter what your current situation or circumstances are they will change, they will be different through time. However you are the controller and the person who can't break down, you've got to break through. What if the change is just a day away, or even close as an hour away but you gave up? you just never know.
I said above, you are the controller. You have to ask yourself the question of - Do you believe that you can control your current situation? If the answer is yes then get on with things and start to put the right things in place, the correct decisions you've got to make.. to make the situation better. If the answer is no, then I would be also asking who has the power? the power to your emotions, what's your perspective and to consider your daily habits (which you can refer to in the daily habits blog I wrote previously) I am a true believer in optimism and the power of positivity - I believe that situations/events and circumstances can evolve into greater things, but amongst it all I can decide how I feel, see and what opinion I choose to have.
"You can't waste time. You've only got one life to live"
Imagine the luxury you would have in life, if you woke up on a daily basis and thought I only have one life to live. Or do you take life as we call it for granted? Life can be a long time or a short time, we just never truly know do we. By allowing other people to decide your life for you, you're only wasting time. Valuable time at that. The simplicity of it is how you look at it, if you take life for granted then of course you are going to break all the time, you will not feel fulfilment and most importantly for you, you will surely not live a happy life. You decide.
I have shared this blog with you, sharing some of my opinions and perspectives on life. I always say that I would love to hear from you, we can create a chat and have a conversation around anything you may agree, disagree or want to explore further. The Headspace was created as a platform for people to hear from others, ask themselves questions and give yourself space amongst your busy day to day life. To stop and acknowledge things going on in your life and around you.
