A lot of people seem to be convinced that in order to feel better, others need to change, that things need to change, need to be changed, by others.
Though bad change is bad and must not happen.
As if you're the center of life and as if you're so entitled to be completely satisfied that it's everyone else's duty to make that happen for you.
Everything and anything that isn't right for me is the most important thing, more important than anything else!

Or so we wish.

Nobody is entitled to anything at all.
Self-entitlement is but a twisted sense.
Nobody owes you your own happiness.

It's only you.

You could like a whole lot of things much more if you would stop yourself from insisting that everything exists in accordance with your comfort zone.
You could feel a whole lot better that way.
You could also feel a whole lot better if you'd allow yourself to take things just for what they are, as they are, whatever they may be.
Admit to yourself that barely anything that you insist is so important to you is important at all.
Let yourself be at ease with things that you may not like or agree with but which do not cause you harm either.

Let a little bit of subjective disorder as perceived that way by you stir your mind up a bit.
You can't be happy if you insist on being stagnant and that any change that happens only happens in accordance to your ego's rules of happiness.

Of course you can kick and scream at the world all you want, it is your right, but then you must accept that you won't be happy.
Some people can take comfort in blaming all of their self-made misery on others and absolving themselves of any responsibility, but there is no happiness to be found in that.

Don't let things get the best of you.
Don't let people get the best of you.
Don't let yourself get the best of you.
