Do you know what day of the week you are most likely to get a heart attack?

According to a Swedish registry study carried out on 156,000 people, most people were found to be more prone to having a heart attack on a Monday.

People hate Monday, and most of them hate their jobs or routine on that day yet they do not feel safe about it.

All my life, there are some points that gave questions on myself. “am I safe?”

Am I safe from all the things I do?

Am I safe from all the things I am afraid of?

Am I safe from bad luck in the future?

Am I safe at where I am right now?

These questions are from your brain stem as one of your brain parts.

This part is where you will feel triggered by the things that challenged you such as failure, rejection, other negative thoughts.

Life is designed to be as challenging as it could be. Of course, you won’t have only one challenge, but it will be infinity.

But those questions are no longer relevant when I decided to do something I am still practicing until now.

How you react to challenges, will define “you”.

“Instead of seeing something that is tangible all the time, what if turns out you are more fulfilled by the things that are intangible?”

I reflect back to the times when I hate my life so much and try to figure it out. What kind of things that I unseen before?

and…

There is a lot of things.

So many things that I do not see before that can fulfill me as a person when I try to feel I belong to it.

Let me tell you one brand new story of my life which happened to start in December last year…

I was welcoming December with the thought that it is going to be a wonderful month just like the other year, yes it is. Except for the surprising part that happened regarding my health.

Frankly speaking, I am not a big fan of a healthy lifestyle yet not that bad at maintaining health (at least 6 months ago). But, December told me a different way.

I was hospitalized and still on medicine until right now. it was quite a surprise since I thought December will be as smooth as other month goes.

Well, enough on the bad part. The good part is that I am still surrounded by many good people which not only in the picture but who really love me. Idk what I did to deserve them.

The fact that the doctor who assumed that my life will be ended in a month or two back then also surprise on how I cope with the fact. How can I act like it’s just another part of life I should get through, this behavior I served to me was as well surprised me.

December was not perfect, I think the other December of my life too. Maybe I am just anxious about the idea of having a perfect birthday month every year? Idk.

But, the past 3 months surprises me in a very short moment, gave me many lessons about things I am unseen before.

Ps: Things that I almost forget to see now: “I am still alive”

I think that is the power of what inspirational speakers out there always talk about the power of the mind. It is not about how much you try on being grateful for the things you have, but you have to see it and find the trigger where you feel you belong to it. Like it is what it meant to be like it happens beautifully in order to give you important lessons.
