Is it in you? Bien estar and true self

Do you remember the line, is it in you? Actually, it comes from Gatorade ads.
On a deeper level, the line reminds me of my well-being. Something that I have learned in life, but recently rekindled my definition and its importance-- peace of mind, my state, and satisfaction level in terms of soul, mind and body soundness.


My soul's well-being is of utmost importance because it reflects the state of my mind and body. I learned the hard way, having to travel across the globe to learn from people I barely know, but have now become the closest friends to my heart.
Knowing that I am a beautiful person made by the Higher Being, and forgiving the sins of my past, I know that I can start a new life with clarity, confidence and a strong sense of self. I am open to life's challenges and embrace them as opportunities to grow and learn; to become a better person.


Now, I have learned to deal with people that I used to have difficulties with. I'm not saying that I now have the patience of a saint. Moreover, I have learned not to be offended and to be flexible. 
Also, I look at people in my life as those who need to teach me life's lessons, whether we understand it or not. 


In relation to that, now, I know what I want, ask for it, and act upon it. Previously, I thought that being selfless means always giving way to others, without asking for anything in return or even not saying anything to keep the 'peace'. Like relationships, it should be mutually beneficial. 


There is no shame in saying what you want, be assertive and act upon it, for nothing falls on our laps, ready-made. We are creators in our own right-- own it! 
For when you discover that you have 'it' in you, you know that you are on the right track, accepting of what can't be changed, and what needs to be done. 


Part of well-being is learning soul lessons or from people/events that caused us 'heartbreak'. From experience, believe me that they are catalysts that can change your life for the better.
No matter how much my heart aches that I want that certain person at the time, circumstances have not allowed it to happen. Now, I understand why and will not force it, but thank you for showing me the way, I wish you all the happiness in life that you deserve. This is about the universe's plans for every human being. I'm blogging about this to let go of the pain and the frustration of not being with that person. Yes, I know I am more than my thoughts and I am apologizing should you get to read this. It doesn't mean that you meant nothing to me. In fact you do, but I need to burn the bridge of my past in order to move forward. It just means a shift in my energies has pushed us away from each other. You are my intellectual friend, my progressive thinker and tactician, but you still don't have your well-being and I can't give that to you. I would like to, but its not something that can be given, you need to find it within your soul. I don't know if I should forget about you and look for someone else. 


Overall, I 'own' myself, I am the only one who can answer my life's questions by experiencing the world around me. This means meeting people and learning from them by giving myself with discernment and without judgement of others. 

Well-being is about being happy, content, having a peace of mind, being your true self that I have done the best that I could at a given time; live life without regrets.
