Let go so you can breathe

Last week my grandma just passed away. It was a shock for everyone in my family, especially my Dad. Actually, my Dad is a strong person. It's very difficult to bring him down, except it's something that means so much to him. And it was the first time I saw my Dad got so depressed. It's like he couldn't accept the fact that his mother was not with him anymore. The thing is, he still didn't want to let her mom go.

It made me think a lot. I told to myself, well, this is the life. There is a start to everything, but there is also the end. Everything has its stages, and maybe this is the stage where we have to say goodbye to our grandma.

Some people come into your life, you start to love them, then you feel so happy when they're around, and you just want to enjoy every single moment you have with them. But we all know nothing lasts forever. Sooner or later, there is always something that makes you can't be with them anymore. It may be death, just like what happened between my Dad and my grandma. It may be other things too, such as relationship problems. Many things. Whatever it is, the key is not to wait for the end to come. It is to enjoy every single moment while you still have the chance to do it. Enjoy it and be thankful.


Then, what should we do when it ends? That's the problem that many people forget. Let go. It's hard to let go when the thing you have to let go is something that you really love. It's like there will be a big problem, ready to ruin everything if you don't keep it. That's why you don't dare to let go. And that's the real problem.

The biggest problem in life is when you don't want to let go of things you should let go.

Everyone has to let go. It's not always about death. It's not always about people. It may be about your relationship, your job, your ego, your power, your childhood. There are many things.

When the time comes, you have to let go. Let go so you can breathe. Most people are afraid that everything will be worse if they let go. The truth is, there is a time when you can't keep it anymore, and the big trouble that really makes everything worse is actually when you still don't want to accept that it is the time to let go.

It hurts when you have to let go something you really love, but it can hurt you more if you don't.

It's not easy. Once you let go, you have no idea what will happen next. But sometimes letting go is the only choice for you to keep surviving, moving on, and living your life. Sometimes letting go is the only way for you to keep "breathing".

It's like there is a heavy burden on your shoulder when you don't let go. And when you're finally willing to let go, you finally realize that it doesn't have to burden you. You start living life again. You start to breathe freely.

Valentine's day is coming soon, and it's the day of love. I think it's a great idea to share something related to love: Love Languages . Have you heard about it before? It's not my idea.

Change the Perspective

One of people who inspire me the most is Nick Vujicic . I believe many of you know about this man. If you don't, well, he's a man with no arms and no legs. Although he has this disability, he still lives his life to the fullest. He swims. He surfs. He married. He does whatever he wants. Even he inspires many people around the world with great stories about his amazing life. Isn't he really a huge inspiration? I'm sure you know what I'm gonna write here. Many things we can learn from him, like being thankful, enjoying life, creating your happiness, or living the life you want no matter what the circumstance is. But I want to talk about his great life from a little bit different thing. He inspired me in one thing when I read his book. If there's one thing I can learn from him, it's that you can't always change your problems, but you can always change the way you see it . You can't always change your problems, but you can always chang

You are what you eat

You know they say, you are what you eat . I totally agree with this saying. The phrase finder says its meaning is "To be fit and healthy, you need to eat good food ". But I guess it's more powerful than that. I personally assume that the "food" here is more about things we put into ourselves, such as what we see, what we think, or what we feel . Just everything we put into ourselves . So, if this world was a restaurant, everything you can see, think, and feel in this world would be the foods. And the main role here is you! Because you would be the customer in the restaurant who choose the foods you want to eat. Whatever you eat, it will always affect your body (your life). That's why it's really important to choose "what you eat", because it's what really shapes you in the end. If you want your life to be better, you should manage what you eat. You can't just consume whatever you see, because not everything you see is
