When events end in your life, it just means its role in your journey is over. It came for you to learn something. Although the process might not have been easy, sometimes even painful. It is only after the smarting is over, sometimes long after, will the life lesson become clear and get appreciated.
Similarly, when somebody leaves you, it does not mean he or she is necessarily bad. It is just that his or her role in your life is over. Time to move on to the next valuable life lesson.
If you cannot move on, then you are stuck there and you don’t progress or mature. You might even deteriorate like when you become bitter and vindictive. You are looking at the negative side of life when there is a better option, the positive side. For there is always that.
With a negative outlook, life becomes really bad, in all aspects. Everything becomes heavy. Nothing would be easy. Yet, the reality is a part of your life is over, it is gone forever.
It is your loss if you don’t appreciate what starting over can offer. It can mean a much better life than you ever dreamed of or imagined. But you have to get there and experience it.
So be the better part of you. Wear that sunny disposition and meet a whole new world and the new people it offers. They will bring new experiences nobody else could offer.
In sum, everything will be your choice. Just sulk and be angry by yourself or become vindictive. Or wear a sunny smile and go forth and embrace the good things the positive world can offer. And always remember, smiling people always look a lot better or more beautiful.
