Challenges

What are the real challenges in life? Fighting for the things you love, seeing happiness in the most simple things, not taking people’s kindness and love for granted, allowing yourself to be happy and cared for.Challenges keep us going, and they are always there, but sometimes not that obviously noticeable. Seeing the challenges that are given to you is a challenge itself.

Dealing with your own decisions and resolutions is also a challenge. Sometimes we make tough ones, and we regret, and we cry, and try again, maybe succeed, maybe fail. Maybe we chose the easy way, which is to let it be, not fight for what you want, just passively let things happen. Sometimes we do it for pride, fear, or lack of will power.

We are the masters of our own lives, and it’s up to us to make ourselves happy or not, with all the challenges given to us. We have to look around, pay attention to things, manage our expectations towards people, but never settle, always try, always face the challenges. Appreciate friends and family, as they will be the key to overcoming all challenges. That’s what keeps us going, and that’s what makes us happy.
