Confession of a Flawed Human

I am a flawed human being, I can get petty sometimes with the most trivial things, and sometimes I am so overwhelmed that my anxiety gets the better of me. Here is the thing, the impact - weight of regret and guilt is enormously painful.

Pain is a kind of fire that purifies you, it has the ability to consume you but I, the human, has the intelligence and capability to use fire to cook and for warmth. So how do I NOT let the fire consume me, but evolve me?

Acceptance - the past is a moment passed. You can't turn it back, you can relive it thousands of times in your head, however there is no changing it. The only healthy thing you can do is to accept it.

Understand - the triggers, the uncontrollable, the circumstances, the controllable. No excuses, no complaints, no explanations. Just witness. Acknowledge the variables. Take note if you want.

Ask Yourself - what will you do if the universe repeats the day, without you having the memory of it? You won't remember the uncontrollable that went wrong. But you can redo the controllable, because you have the lesson.

There is a difference between Overthinking and Deep-thinking - the latter is self-awareness.

If you want to become aware beyond acceptance — start here.

1. Disassociation from the label - It's not I who is petty

2. Validate situational evidence - it's one situation when I acted petty

3. Dive into the core value, fear response, recalibrate - why did I react that way?

Here is the thing — we are all flawed humans, one way or another. Most people are either unaware of their flaws, or aware and unbothered by the cost it has on others.

I asked myself — if the whole world doesn't care, should I?

Here is what my inner voice replied: What is the future world you see? What world are you creating?

"What world are you creating?" I will leave you with that question
