We all go through some tough times in our lives. For example, the end of a relationship, a dismissal of the work to which we are accustomed, an unexpected accident that now limits us in many aspects of life, all this will force us to ask ourselves a painful question that will lead us to rething ourselves. everything we’ve taken for granted so far: what do you want?
It is not easy to give a quick answer, in fact, this question can surprise us and make us feel very lost when we think of an answer, because after all, who really asks what he wants?We often get carried away, turn on the autopilot and don’t stop to analyze if the way we live is what we really want.
- We don’t do any of that until one day something happens that forces us to do it.
- It’s as if until this very moment we are in a comfort zone.
- Of which we are violently expelled.
- Some people appreciate this situation and start living enjoying life.
- Which they didn’t do before.
- But others stay long in the same place where they stopped.
- They cannot move forward or backward.
- And there they are consumed.
Maybe we wonder why this painful question?It’s so hard. The reason is that it is decisive, in a way it will be a change and, as we all know, many people don’t like change very much.
Although the changes are not negative, what caused them in the cases we talk about are negative circumstances, so our vision is covered by absolute negativity in which nothing that can happen will be positive.
Let’s take the example of a woman who had a car accident and lost a leg at a very young age, her name is Paola Antonini, she is currently a model, she has a YouTube channel and inspires many people who follow her, whether they have. has been amputated or not.
If we go a little de further into this young woman’s story, we will discover that after spending almost an hour waiting for the ambulance after the accident, being fully aware of what happened and feeling immeasurable pain, all she wanted was to stay alive.
Recovery has been very difficult. The prosthesis hurts, but at least I could walk!Paola asked herself the painful question after the operation: what do I want ?, today she travels a lot, always smiles and shares words of encouragement with others, but also with herself, for her the accident was not a disgrace, it was an opportunity to reorient her life and live it with much more intensity.
A breakup, accident, problem, or dismissal can be life-enhancing warnings.
When you get to this point, what do you want? It’s not a really painful question. Perhaps the painful thing is to change and happen when something has upset our lives, yet many changes are positive and force us to abandon role models that have not benefited us.
Ending a relationship can be an opportunity to end an emotional addiction that you never wanted to see, if we get fired, it may be time to start, to carry out this project for which we have never had time. what we have carried forward and what we have left behind, what has really imprisoned us and, for the first time, let go of fear and do what we really want to do.
It is true that at first it will be difficult, but the answer to the question “What do you want?”It can be very clear in us. The problem is that our fears prevent us from acting. In difficult times you have to stop, take the time to feel the pain and make a decision that benefits us. Do not avoid pain, do not escape; taking the step and overcoming the situation will make the pain go away and become hope, peace and quiet.
