Reacting to everything

This , I got from facebook, it is not mine, and I do not know to give credit to whom ... but whoever wrote this, this is beautiful and resonate well in me ... It helps me a lot ..

REACTING TO EVERYTHING
I’m 'Slowly' Learning That I Don’t Have To React To 'Everything' That Bothers Me.
I’m slowly learning that I don’t have to hurt those who hurt me.
I’m slowly learning that maybe the 'ultimate' sign of maturity is walking away instead of getting even.
I’m slowly learning that the energy it takes to react to every bad thing that happens to you drains you and stops you from seeing the other good things in life.
*I’m slowly learning that I’m not going to be everyone’s cup of tea and I won’t be able to get everyone to treat me the way I want to be treated 'and that’s okay.'*
*I’m slowly learning that trying so hard to ‘win’ anyone is just a 'waste' of time and energy and it fills you with 'nothing' but emptiness.*
*I’m slowly learning that not reacting doesn’t mean I’m okay with things, it just means I’m choosing to 'rise' above it.
I’m choosing to take the 'lesson' it has served and learn from it I’m choosing to be 'the bigger' person.
I’m choosing my 'peace of mind' because that’s what I 'truly' need. I don’t need more drama. I don’t need people making me feel like I’m not good enough. I don’t need fights and arguments and 'fake' connections. I’m slowly learning that sometimes 'not' saying anything at all says everything.'
*I’m slowly learning that reacting to things that upset you gives someone else power over 'your' emotions.
You can’t control what others do but you can control how you respond, how you handle it, how you perceive it and 'how much of it' you want to take personally. I’m slowly learning that most of the time, these situations say nothing about you and a lot about the other person.
I’m slowly learning that even if I react, it won’t change anything, it won’t make people suddenly love and respect me, it won’t magically change their minds.
Sometimes it’s better to just let things be, let people go, 'don’t' fight for closure, 'don’t' ask for explanations, 'don’t' chase answers and 'don’t' expect people to understand where you’re coming from.
I’m slowly learning that life is 'better lived' when you 'don’t' center it on what’s happening around you and 'center it on' what’s happening 'inside you' instead.
'Work' on yourself and your inner peace and you’ll come to 'realize' that 'not' reacting to every little thing that bothers you is the 'first ingredient' to living a happy and healthy life.

Finding Self-Confidence Through “Stay the Same”

Finding Self-Confidence Through “Stay the Same”     Growing up, music often became a source of comfort and connection, and one song that truly stood out to me was *"Stay the Same"* by Joey McIntyre. Its lyrics about self-acceptance and self-confidence resonated with me in a way that felt both reassuring and empowering. At its heart, *"Stay the Same"* is a reminder that we don’t need to change who we are to be worthy of love and acceptance—a message that was both profound and comforting, especially as a young person navigating self-doubt and the desire to fit in. The opening line, *"Don’t you ever wish you were someone else,"* is like a gentle wake-up call. It’s so easy to fall into the habit of comparing ourselves to others, wishing for qualities we don’t have or feeling inadequate because of some perceived flaw. As a young person, hearing these words felt like a validation that who I was, as I was, was enough. It’s one of those rare reminders that our val...

What People Don’t Understand About Those Struggling with Low Self-Esteem

  Living with low self-esteem isn’t just a fleeting feeling of inadequacy—it’s a deep-rooted struggle that colors how someone sees themselves, others, and the world around them. For those who don’t experience it, it can be hard to understand the invisible challenges faced by people grappling with low self-esteem. These struggles go far beyond occasional self-doubt and affect every facet of life, from relationships to careers and personal well-being. 1. The Constant Inner Critic People with low self-esteem often live with a relentless inner critic. This voice magnifies every flaw, criticizes every decision, and makes even small mistakes feel monumental. To outsiders, this might look like perfectionism or overthinking, but it’s more than that. It’s a battle against self-doubt that can paralyze decision-making and sap joy from achievements. For example, a compliment might feel insincere or undeserved because their inner critic is quick to dismiss it. “They’re just being polite,” th...
