#4- You no longer wait for anyone (only for yourself).
Do you want to know if your life is about to change for the better?
When you start to get your life in order, the changes are so subtle that few people notice them, including yourself.
Here are seven subtle signs I detected when my life started to change, which will help you figure out that everything it’s evolving for the better.
Let’s start.
1. You broke up with manipulators
You were vulnerable to specific people by letting them into your life. You opened up too much. You let your guard down and reveal where they need to touch to make you explode. But, after a long time, you finally pulled yourself together and walked away from the people who used your big heart against you. You no longer feel guilty. They abused and took too much confidence. You were loyal, even though they treated you as a fool. You have a clear conscience, and they lost you.
2. You no longer lie to yourself
It was nice while it lasted. But it hurt too much to wake up. I know it did. I’ve been there, fooling myself with pipe dreams. It never works out. You’ve matured, the veils have fallen, and although the world seems slightly gray, you paint it with your will. Now you know how things work. Now it’s your turn. And you will take advantage of it because you learned to see life as it is.
3. You’ve started to walk lightly
You don’t need a closet full of clothes or five hundred weekend plans. Nor do you need a million friends. You have stopped needing, and that is making you abundant. It’s funny; you used to like to have everything. And now, instead of having a thousand cups of coffee, you always use the same one. So don’t worry; it’s a symbol that says you prefer quality over quantity. And you apply it to your things as well as to people.
4. You no longer wait for anyone (only for yourself)
You’ve spent your life caring for everyone, waiting for a bit of thank you. You’ve spent your life looking for a little recognition. You’ve spent your life looking for approval in the wrong places. But you’ve said enough. Enough waiting for the one who doesn’t wait for you. Enough of giving everything to those who give nothing for you. Enough of letting them play games with you. Now you know where to look for approval: within yourself.
5. You no longer identify with your ego
You have discovered that your ego does not understand the future; it only wants to perpetuate itself in the present, even if that present is full of bad habits. You discovered that the problem is not that it hurts but that you get used to it and that you get to like it. Routine can be a death trap. So you discovered that sometimes it is necessary to change to survive.
6. You no longer keep quiet and stand up for your rights
The important thing is to be accepted as we are. And not to allow them to ridicule us. Especially those people who, after disrespecting you say, “Relax, man, it was just a joke.” You have learned that, as Terry Pratchett said, “satire is meant to ridicule power. If you laugh at people suffering, it’s not satire; it’s harassment.” And you value your dignity above so-called friendship because the one who doesn’t treat you well is not your friend.
7. You forgive yourself for failures
Every time they insinuate that you won’t be able to change, you smile to yourself and think, “Rome wasn’t built in a day, but it ended up being an empire.” And you know very well that, as Wayne Dyer said, “No one pretends to change their body overnight, but many pretend that their minds will capable of sudden change.” You don’t pretend. You know that everything has a process, and your mind is another muscle you must repeatedly train until you strengthen your willpower and get the right mindset. But that’s okay; it’s a matter of time. And that is what you have given yourself: time to change.
