I know people tend to be their own worst enemies in life. Often people speak of walls or doors, but these walls and doors are not those one encounters in architecture; these walls and doors are inside a man. Profit and loss and love and hate are just terms in our heads and are pretty much similar to each other. People also differ considering their attitude to life and thus being happy is regarded as the foundation of their happiness.

Daily we wake up with so many things in mind, wishes, wants, and sometimes even the opposite – the things we want and the things we want to avoid, the things we like and the things we don’t like. Regardless of whether we win, we lose, or stale, we must live fully, perhaps even precariously, in the process. To surrender, to release something is an internal decision that originates in the heart, and in the end, all decisions are made in this part.

Instead, use such time to change your thinking, be ready for the future, and it is appropriate to change because what the world does not lack does not mean sorrow. So many have lusted forever more in a vain attempt to avoid the loss of things that they never really possessed fully.

Sometimes, life provides things for a need and, at other times, it withdraws it. It is never a must to ‘complete’ an object or relationship because if it is missing something, learn to be at ease with it.
