The Paw Mom Diaries

I recently faced a setback in an important part of life which made me question a lot of my beliefs. I pored over every aspect, but could not understand why things had not worked out. I was upset, cranky and most of all I felt cheated. After a while, I began experiencing a strange sense of peace emerging from within.

And while I marvelled at this new-found peace, I was intrigued. How could I possibly be so cool? After much thought, I realised that I was outgrowing my need to obsess over a single aspect of my life. Haven’t we all been there? We try to break down every little detail of our life and it yields nothing. No answers, no solutions or a sense of satisfaction in understanding the most important question, “WHY?”. And life teaches us in different ways that the more time we invest on analysing problems or questions that are out of our hands, the harder it gets to focus on the other important tasks at hand.

My solution was simple and it was staring at me, right in the face. I simply had to pick myself up from the situation that was once seemingly unsurmountable and move on. It did bring me peace and it helped me realise that life is often going to throw us curveballs, inevitably causing us to ask the question “WHY” and then micro-analyse it. However, the solution, most of the times is just to pick ourself up and move on. Even if the problem doesn’t go away, we have won half the battle, i.e. in our mind.

Outgrowing things is not necessarily a bad thing, since most of the times, it makes way for better things.
