Shedding Society’s Expectations One Eye Roll at a Time

One day, you’ll have a eureka moment and realise you can no longer accept certain things in your immediate environment — whether it’s your coworkers who drive you crazy, pals that contribute stress instead of support, or even a stagnating relationship. It’s like the straw that broke the camel’s back, inspiring you to finally go the additional mile to pursue your aspirations. The anxiety of uncertainty will seem like a stroll in the park when compared to the suffocating sensation of being caught in a rut.

You’ll eventually realise that you deserve to be madly in love with your life.

When you’re completely in love with your life, you start to let go of everything that doesn’t make you happy — it’s like finally clearing that overflowing wardrobe. Remove any outmoded ideas, attitudes, or ideals that do not align with your ideal existence. Even partnerships that previously felt like a safety net but are now holding you back will be discarded as if they were old news.

Being enamoured with your life implies that you begin to create the life you’ve always desired. You’ll create behaviours that are as natural as breathing. You’ll be springing out of bed in the morning, ready to explore the ordinary enchantment that life has to offer.

With your newfound passion of life, you’ll eventually realise you’re tougher than a two-dollar steak. You’ll look back and see that previous hardships were only bumps in the road — obstacles, yes, but also stepping stones that helped build the strong and resilient person you are now.

When you enjoy life, every day appears to be a little brighter. Whatever spot you choose to call home will feel like your own little paradise. You’ll savour the simplest pleasures, such as going for a leisurely walk, preparing a beautiful dinner, or delving into the pages of a long-forgotten book. These tiny gestures build the foundation for your pleasure.

When you enjoy your life, you stop seeking society’s approval. You are less concerned with the peanut gallery’s comments because you recognise that judgement is the opponent of love. You are patient with yourself and no longer believe you must satisfy others’ expectations to prove your value. When you’re happy with the way things are, there’s no need to look down on anyone.

Falling in love with your life provides a new sense of confidence. You know you can overcome obstacles because you have done it before. Armed with this self-belief, you’ll take tiny moves in the correct path, getting closer to realising your ambition.

When you care deeply about your life, you understand that it is your responsibility to make it both rewarding and inspiring — because, at the end of the day, you are the architect of your own happiness.

You are beautiful just the way you are. Take care.
