2. Finding Peace in “This Too Shall Pass” : stressLess-life

Finding Peace in “This Too Shall Pass”

false

Man, life has been a lot lately honestly, it’s always been that way but this year, I really grew up and matured a lot. I used to read quotes like “this too shall pass” and “control what you can control” and think they were dumb and cringy. But this year, I actually understood them, became way happier and focusing on myself.

A little backstory: I have a decent-paying job, but my family members are pretty irresponsible and have put a lot of debt on me. So I take care of everything, and I barely make it to the end of each month. It’s the 21st today, and a taxi driver I’ve known for a long time will drive me to work for free till the end of the month, I’ll pay him next month (yeah, I don’t have a car). I’ll also get food and water from the local market on credit because I’ve known the guy there for a while too. I’m writing this from my PC because my phone is dead, my charger broke, and I can’t afford a new one right now. I wear the same shoes all the time, one suit, and four different shirts. I literally can’t afford new ones. But despite all that, I managed to land an amazing job that I studied hard for. A lot of people around me think I got it through connections, but I didn’t.
At the same time, I’m studying for the CFA exam, it’s really challenging, but I’m crushing the mock exams so far. I love where I am and the man I’ve become. Even with all the chaos and noise in my life, I know that this too shall pass. I’ve been in worse situations that I thought I’d never get out of, and yet here I am, in a job I love.
I’m honestly at the happiest personal place since a very long time, because every day I try to focus on what I can control: studying well, doing my job right, and being kind to people.

Just wanted to share this as a reminder that even if everything seems to be falling apart, remember this too shall pass. Focus on what you can control and be kind.
