Eleven years of Whispers
You know that saying that time passes by quickly (especially when you’re having fun)? Well, it’s true, regardless. Can you believe that it’s already been eleven years since I uploaded my first blog post here? 1.289 posts and 132 months later, here we are celebrating another blogversary!
So many things change over such a time, yet so many things stay the same.
Eleven, it is said, is a symbol of new beginnings and positive changes. So, I’ll keep that and share 11 things I’ve come to notice most during the past year:
- If you have to force something, it’s not your size. Similarly, if you have to ask for it, it loses half its value.
- You don’t always get the love you think you deserve. You mostly get what you accept.
- Don’t expect others to behave like you would. They usually never do and the only one left disappointed is you.
- A heartbreak is like a broken string; it can be mended but it won’t be the same.
- The only way to liberate your heart is to lighten your mind. You can get a great load off if you write it down, and you can put your thoughts in order if you lay them out before you.
- If you stop expecting, you’ll be more grateful for things that happen as they do.
- If something is meant to be, it will always find a way.
- No one can make you feel inferior without your consent; it all depends on the interpretation you give to things that occur.
- Your own mindset has incredible power in lifting you up or pulling you down. You choose which part to feed.
- People say a lot, but few actually act on it.
- The only limits to what you can do are the ones you yourself set.
But perhaps most importantly, time is all we have; we should invest it wisely in people and things that make us happy. And remember: if it is out of our hands (thus our control), it should be out of our minds too.
So here’s to new beginnings and the hope of a more positive path ahead!
