If Your Intentions Were Good, Don’t Complain Anymore

If you complain and think back to the things that have happened to you every day, it is because that wonderful person inside you is trying to make himself heard and wants to heal.  This is because you know that, in order to move on, you need to be at peace with yourself and understand that even though things have gone wrong, you have tried your best, and this also needs to be acknowledged.    

In fact, you cannot bear that burden further on your conscience, since it is not good for you and, moreover, you do not deserve it: still remember that the consequences of an action come, but they are not eternal. 

You have suffered enough, and even if it was not what you wanted, you have embraced the criticism, felt shame and endured moralism. Nevertheless, there are things that have to go through: when we make decisions, we run the risk of making mistakes and not all the good will we have put into it excludes the option of making mistakes.   

Good intentions: “I just wanted …”

It is obvious that doing good is underestimated and that some people use “good intentions” as shields to hide their cowardice or use excuses to defend themselves. However, there are also people who aren’t like that, who feel really bad about themselves because what happened wasn’t what they expected, because they were going to do their best.

You have gotten to the point where you repeatedly complain about how things have developed and that “I wanted” or “it was not my intention” is the result of feelings of guilt that have threatened  you ever since. These two phrases symbolize the frustration of someone who has tried to put his heart into an action but has failed.

You feel a pain in the chest and repentance, there is no use for the person who suffered to forgive you and now it is no longer the situation that hurts you, but your morale: there is no use thinking that you wanted to give your best and you would like to return back to change things. However, the solution rests in a different alternative.

Make an effort to forgive yourself

The only way you can go if you want to move the situation is to forgive yourself;  so, if you are convinced that you want to stop feeling bad, you must try to do it. When you succeed, you will stop tormenting yourself and everything will be over for good.

It is good to be able to stop complaining about something that cannot be changed and that is part of the past, precisely because in your good intentions lies the possibility of starting over, of discovering that no one is perfect  and that neither are you, too. if anyone would like to be.

Having made a mistake does not make you bad people, nor can a failure turn into the judge of the remaining emotions you feel in these moments: have faith in yourself, value yourself and you will see that there will still be many opportunities to show that it is not always lost, that sometimes you win. Think about this: Mistakes don’t define us, but they help transform us into who we are. 

That giving the best continues to be a daily medicine

To conclude, we want to tell you why, in our opinion, you must free your conscience from what is hurting you: simply because we believe that the world needs people who are guided by a humble heart full of goodness, even if the results are not always positive. 

It is necessary to give the best of ourselves to the people we love every day, to be there if they need our company and to lend them a hand when they need advice. What if we’re wrong? In this case, we will be able to forgive ourselves and continue to live in peace, after having suffered the consequences of the evil now dissolved.

Sometimes it seems that the really important thing is not the intention, but what one does, because it is what remains; but  sometimes we forget that good will moves seas and mountains and that, without it, only a stone would move. So stop punishing yourself and give yourself another chance: things don’t always go wrong.
