Success is the best revenge, no stress.

Music suggestion while reading: Runaway — Aurora

As time passed, I began to understand better that I was in the right place at the right time. When you think the tip of the knife is facing you, it is actually when your luck is very close to turning. I realized that I had been going wrong for a while and needed to change course. It’s been about 3–4 weeks. I interpret the overlapping of stressful times as there is very little time left for us to get out of there and there is a final test. Life is about breaking cycles. We must become a better version of ourselves in each cycle. It feels wonderful to have come to my senses. I realized that there is no need for panic and stress in life and that everything can be resolved with time and with the right intention. The important thing is to stay calm. All this lucidity hit me like a sudden shot of a drink. I became strong enough to take the change that months and years had created in my body and started to write my destiny. This is my second chance and the story of my reinvention.

First I had to stop looking to the past to start a clean slate because I wasn’t going that way. I started by accepting that I had to delete whatever was on my mind about the past. Yes, I have made mistakes, but not the mistakes I make, the way I solve them defines me. What I fight for, and what my intentions create my personality. I started with confrontation, I stopped running. I stared at the things I feared, and I was no longer afraid. As I got stronger, the things that gave me anxiety first got stronger and then lessened. I had found a way to deal with my mind. Nothing can intimidate me but my own mind, and I knew that I would attract whatever I thought and whatever energy I was in. I am full of hope and light. A story I read recently sums it up:

One evening, an elderly Cherokee brave told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people.

“My dear one, the battle between two ‘wolves’ is inside us all. One is evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority and ego.

The other is good. It is: joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith.”

The grandson thought about it for a moment and then asked his grandfather: “Which wolf wins?”

The old Cherokee replied, “The one you feed.”

If we are unconscious of our thoughts, we are at the mercy of feeding the evil wolf.

I lost myself, to find myself. I began to feel quite relaxed in my life as I got rid of the thoughts that once drove me to anxiety. My things started to go well and I started to rise. This job wasn’t going to end with just letting go of the past, so I decided to organize my lifestyle and the people in my life while I was at it. What I’ve realized all this time is that people all lie. Everyone is looking for something and they hide their faces behind that purpose. I refuse to do this. I want to be more as I am, I cannot allow falsehood. I am aware of my responsibilities and I have to act as I want to be. No more excuses! It’s time for action. In an order where people act fake, I want to live my emotions to the fullest. I have almost removed social media from my life, I do not feel any deficiency. My days are very full. Seeing myself moving towards a goal every day makes me proud of myself. It gives me peace of mind knowing that the universe and guardian angels are supporting me. Signals from this universe give me the confidence to let my life flow.

I have to focus on clearing my karma and opening my chakras. They won’t be able to take their eyes off me as I shine, I know that because I’ve lived. Being visible and successful makes me feel good. However, not everything has to look tangible. It is a great pleasure and gratitude for me to be able to do what I want and be free and enjoy the moment. I went on vacation this week just because I wanted to and went. I saw such places and met such people that every second was precious. There was nirvana at the end of all those places I had climbed and struggled to see. I had very funny and enjoyable conversations with all the people I met. God, all these beauties were extraordinary. I discovered secret places and meditated there. Looking at the burning flames for a long time, thinking for a long time on the edge of a cliff at the top of a mountain… it was very good for me. The day I came back, I got sick and my internship was terminated because I went on vacation. The night of the same day I had to face someone from the past. This may sound annoying when said, but it was a pretty small price to pay for the trip. This trip brought out my emotional side. I laughed at all this, because I knew that the universe prepared much better for me. Remember that you need to survive stormy cold to reach spring days. The next day everything was more peaceful and here I am writing this article. Things are getting better for me. Thank you for everything.

Let them laugh as if the times will not turn around, you have a lot less time to win than you think.

I have to keep doing this, doing the right thing. I think it will be good for me in the near future. Like the arrival of a person I will care about very much in my life, I think I deserve it. Who knows what life has in store for us, yet I am so happy to be alive. I continue to collect good memories and live freely. If you have negative thoughts in your mind, please get rid of them. None of it is real, an illusion trying to pull you down. Get rid of people who manipulate and make you feel bad. Get out of the place where you don’t feel like home. Pay attention to staying in balance while living the way you want. Get rid of the feelings that make you feel bad. Forgive yourself for your sins. Love yourself, and you will notice the world will become a better place. Greetings to everyone who has to struggle with difficult situations in their heads every day and does not give up and wakes up every morning, we will win. In the end, anyone who doubts you will have their hands reddened as they applaud you.

If that shortcut was actually a shortcut, it would be called a route.
