Co-Existence: Things You'll Never Get Away From

Some things are meant to be with each other. These are the things that you can't even stop from happening. If you do something out of an impulsive decision, there will always be an equalized consequence for that.

I was scrolling on my Instagram feed the other day and came across this post from monument:

And it got me thinking. These factors could either make or break you. Let me discuss every co-existing pair.

Growth | Mistakes

Growth means making mistakes. It does not encourage you to keep making mistakes for your growth. It is about the learning experiences that you have been through in your life. It also doesn't necessarily mean that you should recklessly put yourself in such situations in all forms because it may lead you to danger.

It is still advisable for you to contemplate and be ready with the consequences you will face eventually. Nobody's perfect but if you keep making mistakes because of being reckless, then that shouldn't be tolerated. What is more important is when you learn from the mistakes you committed and that's where you grow.

Anxiety | Confidence

Anxiety starts with doubt. Usually, when you start doubting yourself it affects our confidence and from there it's hard to get back to our senses.

When I become anxious, it takes a while for me to realize that it's all in my mind. Usually I get overwhelmed with the way things are currently happening to me and then I tend to overthink. Then again, I practice the 4-7-8 breathing practice. It's effective for me and there, I begin to realize that it is only a state of mind.

Confidence is affected when anxious. You doubt yourself, it leads you nowhere. Get over that low self-esteem and build yourself up.

Accountability | Self-Forgiveness

When you commit mistakes, it measures how you feel accountable to that action. It shows your character on how you handle a certain situation especially when things don't go your way.

Accountability is about taking ownership even when nobody forces you to do it. It also showcases the level of maturity as you determine worthy deciding factors to take. And from there, when you feel yourself accountable of what happened, free yourself from guilt and forgive yourself. Nobody wanted that to happen so move on.

Learning | Unlearning

I strongly believe that learning and unlearning comes with a choice. It will always be a choice to learn new things or unlearn them too. It's a challenge to keep that momentum and never lose your way because sometimes, outside forces may take you to places and you'll sight of what should be your reality.

At the end of the day, learning is a lifelong process. We should keep learning everyday so you will grow and become a better person.
