This week's prompts seem to be connecting in some way, from life's purpose to life's code according to every person. We could say one's code is also a part of what keeps our purposes alive. It's amazing how we decide to pick one or two rules we live by no matter hard it gets to live by them because we know deep down that things would go wrong when we don't.
Every person have a rule they live by, even if they don't state it clear to themselves. There are just some things we can or can not do, some are influenced by friends and most, by parents or people we grew up with. These rules may be bad for us and may be great for us, they are not what people decide for us.
I am not one to be influenced easily by friends to do the wrong things but for the things I know are right or great to see others do, I tend to be influenced over time and I've never had to regret my decision with that. From my family, I've learnt something over time that has somehow influenced my code to living intentional.
It's one thing to just live life and it's another to live life with intention, being intentional about everything is a way to go. I'm not the best at it yet but for the few things I've been intentional about in my life, they didn't turn out too bad and it is something I'll try over and over again. This bring me to the personal code I live by no matter what.
Worry not or worry less!
At first, it felt like I was taking the easy way out by not worry too much about everything but over time, it was only right I had been living by that rule. I've seen what too much worries have cost people, including their lives and I don't wish to be in their shoes.
I think this code comes with my kind of person, I'm not easily disturbed by whatever is happening especially when I'm very much aware that people have gone through it before and are living fine.
Why worry when it won't last my whole life?
I love being true to myself and I've learned that I don't like feeling unsettled so I try my best to avoid it no matter what, choosing not to worry when there is something to worry about isn't easy but it is what I've chosen to live by. I'm in for love, family, good morals and friendship but among all these, I'd rather not worry too much for what won't stay or be.
I didn't say I don't worry at all, I just learned to not make it a first solution to a bothersome situation. At the moment, I'm faced with one that is testing my code again but I know I'll go over it as I've been without worrying too much about it. It's not easy but it's doable and I'll keep at it.
