Embrace What We Cannot Change.
"The best of times and the worst of times, happen all the time."
-Levi Lusko
Embrace life moments that we cannot change. Yes even the hard endings. Did you ever think it could be a new beginning?

I truly believe that we should try to embrace what god brings and takes away in our lives. Although some of those things may hurt, that's what makes us human. It means we are capable of feeling all of these amazing and hurtful things, but ultimately it means we are alive!
I wouldn’t ever trade feeling for living with the guarantee of not having too. Because maybe it’s the times when you are sad, when you remember the things that made you smile that lifts you up.
Don’t focus on the hurt. Focus on the healing. Focus on the good moments that brought out happiness inside of you, even if its now gone. Change is constant, we can’t control what happens to us, we can only control what we decide to remember and take from it. So remember the good moments, remember the smiles, the laughs, and the moments that are now just highlights inside of our minds. Whether it be childhood friends, past relationships, newer friendships, or even someone you only knew for a short moment in time. Sure, you can focus on remembering the bad, the pain and the moments that led to the fallout or ending. Or you can remember the best of the moments that made you who you are now. The highlights are never replayed as the mourning sad moments that failed, they are always the amazing moments that made you smile. The moments that out did themselves, and the best moments we reached our fullest potential. So remember the highlights, and the goodness they brought into and out of your life. It’s not in their control whether or not life takes them away from you. Life took you away from them also. Think about that.
People fade in and out, but the one thing that sticks with us is how they made us feel. When someone hurts us, we blame them for it, needing a reason, and a why, thinking that they hold the answers. But Maybe there isn’t a relevant answer to what or whom happens to us. Maybe questioning why is only what makes us believe in something bigger than us. But an ending shouldn’t ever be questioned, because a true ending never leaves open ties or room for whys. Even if you're left wondering What if, that's no reason not to embrace what is. Say that again.
This is when we need to just embrace what's given, what we have that is right in front of us now. Let life itself deal with the hard stuff. Embracing change will only open new doors in our life. Some open, some close, but its not in our power to dictate which one opens next. That's fates job. Our job is to be better humans out of the good and bad moments. To learn and grow from what's left behind us. To not react to what happens to us, and to always remember how it made us feel. That's how we learn to embrace what's given. So we can be more compassionate towards how we affect how others feel. Even if you think you are losing from an ending because you didn't want it to end. You are actually winning when you reach the ending, because you are about to welcome in a new beginning. And that is better hope than wondering why, holding on and questioning what is now gone. Knocking on a closed door will only keep repeating itself every time you chose to reopen it. Don't keep knocking on the same door, embrace the journey, even when it ends.
True ending is closure, it builds new hopes, new dreams, and creates new beginnings. So endings should never be remembered by anything less than the happiness it brought into and out of our life. Like a rainbow after a storm, shining away the chaos from it. Let it be there to remind you that you were in that exact moment to feel exactly what you felt, and to always remember what you learned from it. Let that give you the hope to feel that way again when life brings you something better. God said himself, if he brings you to it, he will bring you through it. He promised that when he removes something from our life he's only making room for something bigger and better. Believe in his word and his promise, even if that's the only thing that keeps you going.
Nothing in life is guaranteed, so feel everything because that’s what makes each moment exactly what it is. When you feel happy or sad, and feel the pain and the hurt when it hurts, embrace those feelings. Because once those feelings are gone, well that's when its really over. Also don’t allow yourself to become bitter because you’re afraid of change, or afraid to lose. Don't hide from life just to not feel anything. Nerves and being afraid are a good thing, and it reminds us that we are not in control. Life controls us, our thoughts and choices only affect the outcome of it. So choose to be better.
Embrace everything that happens. Embrace love, embrace change, embrace pain. All of this is building us to become the strong person we are and capable to be. We can choose to fight it or ride it, but either way what will be will be. That's life. No matter the outcome, if you embrace whatever situation you are in, you will look at it as meaningful. And what is life without purpose? Are we truly living if we are living without it? I think not.
Even the simplest moments that made you smile, or laugh out loud fade. Embracing what is helps you see the true realness of whatever situation you are in. Then you can begin to learn what its there to teach you. Whether it is a lesson or a blessing, embrace that not all good things stay, just like hurt, it heals, it grows and it goes, fading out into a distant memory.
When something triggers the memories, instead of feeling sad that its gone, try laughing so hard even if you find yourself laughing alone as you remember it. Embrace that it was there even if it was only for a second, you don't get a re-do. Time can never be given back. So embrace lifes timing and just be present.
The more we learn to accept and embrace what happens to us, we will learn that we aren't our problems, because we will never be what happens to us. To embrace life is to grow and to be who we were born to be. Unchangeable things are just moments in time that we cannot control. We can change our clothes, our job, our friends, our house, our direction, ect. but we cannot change lifes plan for us, or how it makes us feel in the process. Yes we can control our emotions and reactions, but not our heart. That's what makes us who we are, and who we are is only part of what we learn from life experiences. Its who we choose to be right now, and how we overcome our challenges that build true character.
We have the choice to choose what we say and do, so if we can embrace what is, and stop fighting what isn't, everything will still fall into place just as it should. We will just be less stressed and worn out over trying to control it, because no matter how hard we fight it, we cannot.
Life is only what we make of it. Embrace it.
