The chapters we wrote for ourselves

The chapters we wrote for ourselves

Always more important than what others tell us to be.

Sometimes people around may have expectations.

There are suggestions or images of what kind we "should be."

But our real lives are gradually being written.

From what we feel, what we believe.

And the little things we choose to do each day.

If you don't know who you are, that's fine.

Just try to write yourself as a heroine, a real-life heroine.

People who live comfortably smile easily.

Be happy with the ordinary and be fully yourself.

And then we lived like that one day at a time.

Through smiling, walking, speaking.

And a twinkle in the eye that begins to be more gentle with itself.

Until one day you'll see for yourself that

You're not just thinking about being that person anymore.

But really living that way.

In a way that you choose yourself comfortably.

... Read moreในชีวิตประจำวัน ผมพบว่าเรามักจะเจอกับแรงกดดันจากคนรอบข้างที่อยากให้เราเป็นไปตามคาดหวัง บางครั้งมันทำให้เราสับสนว่าตัวเองควรจะเป็นใครกันแน่ แต่เมื่อลองหยุดและถามใจตัวเองว่าอยากจะเขียนบทชีวิตของตัวเองเป็นอย่างไร นั่นทำให้ผมรู้สึกได้รับอิสระและความสุขอย่างแท้จริง ผมแนะนำให้เริ่มต้นง่าย ๆ ด้วยการสังเกตสิ่งเล็ก ๆ รอบตัว เช่น การแสดงออกทางสีหน้า และการเลือกทำกิจกรรมที่ทำให้รู้สึกสบายใจ เหมือนบทละครที่เราเป็นพระเอกนางเอกในชีวิตจริง การมีแววตาอ่อนโยนและรอยยิ้มที่จริงใจสะท้อนออกมาจากภายใน จะช่วยเพิ่มพลังบวกให้กับตัวเองและคนอื่น ๆ รอบข้าง นอกจากนี้ การยอมรับว่าบางครั้งเราอาจยังไม่รู้ว่าตัวเองคือใครก็ไม่ใช่ปัญหา ความไม่แน่นอนนี้คือโอกาสที่ให้เราเขียนบทชีวิตใหม่ได้เรื่อย ๆ ไม่ว่าจะเป็นเรื่องงาน ความสัมพันธ์ หรือเป้าหมายในชีวิต ผมเชื่อว่าการสร้างชีวิตตามจริตของตัวเอง ทำให้รู้สึกว่าทุกก้าวเดินนั้นมีความหมายและเต็มเปี่ยมไปด้วยความสุข หากคุณกำลังมองหาวิธีที่จะเริ่มต้นเขียนบทใหม่ให้กับชีวิต ลองใช้เวลาจดบันทึกความรู้สึกและความคิดของตัวเองเป็นประจำ สร้างภาพลักษณ์ในใจของตัวเองในแบบที่ต้องการ และใช้มันเป็นแนวทางในการตัดสินใจ การฝึกฝนนี้จะช่วยให้คุณมั่นใจและกล้าที่จะเลือกชีวิตที่ใช่สำหรับตัวเองจริง ๆ ในช่วงที่ชีวิตดูเหมือนไม่แน่นอนที่สุด ความสำคัญของการเขียนบทให้ตัวเองคือการมีพื้นที่ปลอดภัยให้ตัวเราได้เติบโตและเรียนรู้ไปพร้อมกัน ไม่นานคุณจะเห็นได้ชัดว่าคุณไม่ได้แค่ฝันถึงการเป็นคนนั้น แต่คุณกำลังใช้ชีวิตแบบนั้นอย่างมีความสุขและเต็มใจจริง ๆ
