Amor Fati - to love fate
“Life is q***r with its twists and turns.
As everyone of us sometimes learns.”
“Dont quit” by edgar albert guest,
To me its a fact, life is chaotic, it most likely will not go exactly as you wanted it to, and in some cases it throws you an upper cut straight to your jaw, those punches can be hard to regain your composure from, to stand up again just as another punch will come, you can go on the defensive to keep your guard up and lock yourself down, push away the world, build a wall between you and the world, but when you build a wall to keep the bad guys out, guess who also is gonna be kept away, the good guys, you can go on the offensive, throw punches left and right, try to over power anything and anyone who comes at you, here again we come into trouble because there's only a limited time you can do that before getting tired.
BUT WHAT CAN I THEN DO!
Amor fati- to love fate
You don't have to love the situation, or the terrible thing that have happened to you, but it happened and that can't be undone, instead focus on what you can control, your reaction, your intentions, who your gonna become now this have happened, it has the potential to build you into a better, wise, stronger, more loving person, no matter how dark, depressing, despairing, use it as kindle wood on a fire, as Macus Aurelius said:
“A blazing fire makes flame and brightness out of everything that is thrown into it”
So shine bright and shoot for the stars cause there's no reason not to.
