When The World Becomes Uncontrollable

It is not the myth who tells us destiny, nor science who can't prove our future.

We live in some intersecting circles in the similar Venn Diagram called world, connecting all life varieties, and at the same time, the same mankind. The futuristic development of the technology invention pushes the human way of life, making everything run at maximum speed. This habit may touch every detail of our life including the way of communication, working, external relations, and ironically, the interaction with ourselves.

The limitless world offers a thousand bombarded pieces of information through our gadget every single minute, becoming the new disastrous and overwhelming inputs everyday that we ironically don't need. The news about war, natural disasters, disease outbreaks, crimes, violence, dark politics, abuses of power, environmental damage, and more and more extreme incidents are just too much. Therefore, here we are, right now at this exact time, realizing that we have no control over it.

Admit our limitations
Sometimes, we tend to put a lot of energy, trying to control everything. We want life to happen in our way, and will get so exhausted if it happens contrary. Mindfulness' philosophical idea teaches us that life is divided into two categories, the controllable one and something beyond our control. Humans are limited creatures, while the world is too broad to carry. 

Refocus our energy
We might often forget that humans are blessed with the freedom to choose a way of life. It is a free will to choose in what boxes we are going to spend our energy. Remember, our energy is limited, that this allows us to choose wisely. Focusing energy on self growth, health, skills, experiences, travels, hobbies, deeper connection with good circles, spreading kindness, and other real actions are investments for our future self.

Accept the messy days
Day by day, life might result in different impressions. Sometimes, we will meet the day greeting us so friendly, with the successful achievement and appreciation. In other moments, the day will just be full of challenges, madness, and depressions. Both impressions are guests, coming to fulfill us with the very specific purpose, to make ourselves grow. Like it or not, the good and bad days will always alternately greet us, while we ourselves, stand still. 

Appreciate our struggle
This is the most important point of view, the fundamental step to free ourselves from those exhausting challenges. It is yourself who actually never leaves you alone. Your soul might be so tired of life's complexity, but remember that this guy fights for you all day long no matter how desperate your days are. Therefore, your inner self remains there for you in a big struggle and unconsciously gets you stronger everyday. 

However, the world might be so complicated today, but never your life.
