"Bad" things are Unavoidable

You can't deny that bad things happen. They exist. You can try, but it's impossible to hide from the bad things and avoid them successfully. They always seem to find a way to pop up. You can however, work with whatever comes your way.

You can shift your focus away from the thought that it's a bad thing. And you can instead focus on how good you can be at managing these bumps in the road. Focusing on the tools and resources that you have available, and staying on top of the tasks to get through it. And accepting that it's a natural part of life for both good, and bad things to come.. and go.

My story:

I recently realized just how much I was gaslighting myself - perpetually hoping and wishing for good things. For the fairytale ending. By always focusing on preventing or fixing things, I was spending a lot of time and energy denying reality. Seeing the possibilities of the good things without factoring in the probability of the bad things too.

So, I was perpetually fighting reality. And constantly being dissapointed that I never "won the battle between good and evil" and got my fairytale ending.
