15 sinais de que você está exatamente onde deveria estar agora

Quantas vezes já precisou de ter a certeza de que está exatamente onde deve estar neste momento? Bem, aposto que demasiadas, tal como eu e o resto da raça humana!

Quando acabamos com o nosso ente querido or something bad happens, we instantly start thinking that things are going south and we’re not on the right track. 

E isto não é motivo de preocupação. Questionar-se sobre o ponto em que se encontra em relação a todos os aspectos da sua vida não só é normal como desejável!

Life’s zonas difíceis are inevitable, but this doesn’t mean that onde se encontra neste momento is not where you’re supposed to be. The truth is otherwise: Está exatamente onde deve estar!

But, I understand. It’s hard to believe that this is true when you have no evidence of it, right? 

No worries. That’s exactly why I’m here today – to help you realize the validity of this statement. (You see, I’m also where I’m supposed to be at the moment of writing this and I could’ve been somewhere else. Hmm…)

You’re not afraid of feeling a wide array of emotions

O desejo de experimentar apenas emoções positivas como a felicidade está profundamente enraizado em cada ser humano. 

We often think that if we’re laughing 24/7 and nothing bothers us then we must be doing everything right and the universe is in our favor.

As you already know, such a thing doesn’t exist.

So, if you no longer feel that way and you’re actually welcoming and embracing a wide array of emotions from joy to heartache, then you know you are exactly where you are supposed to be.

You’re not afraid to cry when you feel like it or when someone makes you sad, and you’re excited about experiencing different emotions.

You don’t try to suprimir sentimentos de tristeza. Em vez disso, exprime-as sem qualquer vergonha. 

This is the number one sign that you are in touch with your higher self. So, trust me, you’re on the right path and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

Desafiar-se a si próprio tornou-se o seu novo passatempo

Muitas vezes sai da sua zona de conforto e desafiar as suas crenças, competências e conhecimentos para continuar a evoluir. 

Por isso, encontra-se muitas vezes em situações desconfortáveis, mas para si, isso já não é algo de que fuja.

Em vez disso, abraça cada novo desafio, deixando-o enriquecer a sua mentalidade e a sua vida em geral. 

Since I’ve started practicing a challenging routine, my life has changed completely. Before, I would never agree on streaming video games with my boyfriend, but I did it because I wanted to “face my fears.” 

Coloquei-me deliberadamente numa situação embaraçosa e percebi que era a coisa certa a fazer.

Há muitos outros desafios diários, maiores e menores, que me obrigam constantemente a esforçar-me mais e a mudar a minha perspetiva das coisas. 

They say that the hardest battle you’ll ever fight is against yourself, and if you’re doing just that, then you know onde se encontra neste momento é exatamente onde precisa de estar.

Other people’s success doesn’t make you feel resentful

When you see that someone is successful in a certain area of their life, you don’t get instantly jealous or think that you’re doing something wrong. 

Em vez disso, lembra-se que cada um de nós tem o seu próprio caminho. 

You know that just because you don’t have the same expensive car or aren’t in a relationship at the moment, this doesn’t mean your life is broken and needs fixing. 

Afasta-te de comparar-se com alguém mais bonito do que tu, porque sabes que este hábito é tóxico.

This is a legit proof that you’re happy with your own life and because of that, you don’t compare it with someone else’s or think that they have something better than you.

You understand that every single one of us has our own unique pace and you’re not trying to rush things or overthink the past. 

You’re happy where you are at the momento atual and that’s why your perception of other people’s success is positive rather than negative.

As coisas estão finalmente a encaixar-se (e sente-o com todas as fibras do seu ser)

Alguma vez teve a sensação de que tudo começa finalmente a fazer sentido? O seu passado, presente e futuro ficam subitamente interligados e compreende agora porque é que algumas coisas tiveram de acontecer.

Experimenta várias coincidências numa base semanal, mensal ou mesmo diária e as coisas estão a correr muito bem. 

Pode pensar-se que estes coincidências are nothing more than just that, but the truth is that you’re connected with the universe and it’s communicating back. 

As coisas que antes o preocupavam já não fazem parte da sua lista de preocupações. Geralmente, sente-se bem em relação a todos os aspectos da sua vida e acredita que, mais cedo ou mais tarde, tudo se encaixará no seu devido lugar. 

And that belief is the essence of being where you’re supposed to be. 

O tempo tornou-se agora mais precioso

You’re aware of the fact that your time here is limited and that is why you value it more than ever before.

Talvez, no passado, o tempo fosse um dado adquirido, mas agora lembra-se frequentemente da transitoriedade e de como é pequeno e frágil.

And you’re not afraid of that. You accept it and decide to make the best out of it. Instead of worrying about being stuck in a certain aspect of your life, you focus on finding a solution for it.

If there’s no solution, you won’t waste your time on it; you will move on (this is especially the case with relationships). 

You’re determined to spend your time wisely because you know you won’t be able to get it back one day. 

Escolhe rodear-se de passatempos gratificantes, pessoas inspiradoras e coisas que lhe são dignas. Romances medíocres, pessoas tóxicas, and other negative things don’t have a place in your life. 

Sempre que nos encontramos num novo ambiente, questionamo-nos se devemos seguir uma determinada ideia ou recuar. 

If your intuition is telling you that it’s not something that will enrich your life one way or another, you listen to it and act accordingly.

A rejeição já não o assusta

Já não vê a rejeição apenas como algo destrutivo, mas como algo necessário para o seu bem-estar e crescimento. 

Of course, you’ll try to give your best to avoid experiencing rejection, but if it still happens, you won’t be paralyzed by it. 

You understand that rejection, just like acceptance, is an inevitable part of your life and there’s nothing you can do about it. 

You can strive to be the best version of yourself and do the best you can each day, but you don’t have power over every aspect of your life.

That fact doesn’t bother you because you turn rejection into something helpful rather than discouraging. You see it as a chapter of your book called Lições de vida.

Other people’s opinions don’t bother you anymore

A razão número um pela qual as pessoas tendem a preocupar-se com o que os outros pensam é porque estão inconscientemente à procura de validação. 

Não estão satisfeitos consigo próprios (sobretudo devido a uma baixa autoestima) e com a sua vida em geral e, por isso, procuram a aprovação dos outros.

If you’re less preoccupied with what others will think, then it means you basically don’t give a damn about others’ opinions of you. 

You don’t care about gossip, whether they’ll approve of your job or outfit, or anything else. In the same breath, however, this doesn’t mean that you’re disrespectful. 

Respeitamos a sua opinião, mas mais do que isso, respeitamo-nos a nós próprios e alimentamos o amor-próprio. 

You’re open to receiving advice, but you don’t play to their tunes for the sake of winning approval. If you’ve achieved this level of self-growth, then you know you have nothing to worry about. 

Preocupar-se constantemente com o que os outros vão dizer, pensar ou fazer é um dos maiores inimigos que o impedem de atingir o seu potencial máximo. 

Quando calamos essas vozes, concentramo-nos mais em nós próprios, no que realmente queremos fazer na vida e nos nossos sonhos. 

You no longer do things only to appease others, but because YOU want to and because YOU believe that it’s the right thing to do.

O passado tornou-se teu amigo

Costumava culpar-se por coisas que aconteceram no passado e pensar demasiado em demasiadas coisas e se, but now you’re totally okay with it. 

Para o primeira vez, compreende o seu passado e vê os seus erros como uma parte do seu crescimento.

You accept responsibility for everything you’ve done, but you don’t blame yourself, others, or the universe for anything. 

Compreende que tudo acontece por uma razão e é por isso que já não questiona a validade das suas decisões e resultados passados.

Aprendeu muito com os acontecimentos passados e está determinado a aplicar esses conhecimentos no presente e no futuro.

Rodear-se de pessoas inspiradoras está na lista das suas prioridades

Perhaps you used to surround yourself with toxic people, narcissists, and other negative crew without even being aware of it. But, now you’ve become selective when it comes to your friendships.

You no longer surround yourself with people who make you feel drained, gossip, or don’t bring quality into your life. You don’t really care if you’re going to have one or one hundred friends. 

The only thing you really care about is that those relationships are inspiring and genuine. You have ditched or you’re in the process of eliminar pessoas tóxicas da sua vida and you know you’re doing it for your own good.

You know that sacrificing your own happiness and well-being is basically self-destruction, so you’re selective about who you welcome into your life. 

Also, you’re constantly working on yourself to be the best you can as a friend, lover, daughter/son, and husband/wife.

You’re less afraid of the unknown

Even though you have no idea what will happen tomorrow, in a week, month, or year from now, you’re still not afraid of it. You’re less afraid of the future because you believe that everything will be alright in the end.

You don’t focus on overthinking things or fearing them. Instead, you focus on finding a solution and you’re optimistic about every aspect of your life, even if others are telling you that you shouldn’t be.

You trust in yourself and because of that, you’re not afraid of what might happen in the future. You know that you’ll fight like a warrior and do the best you can, and that’s all that matters.

O futuro deixou oficialmente de ser algo que nos assusta quando pensamos nele, mas que nos inspira a tornarmo-nos mais fortes, mais sábios e mais corajosos. 

O tempo a sós tornou-se o seu método favorito de autocuidado

You don’t have a problem being alone because you’re at peace with yourself. Do you know how I know that? Well, one of my friends was constantly in action and she literally couldn’t sit for a second in peace with herself. 

She was overly anxious about everything and didn’t even realize that all this time she was running from herself and her problems. 

So, if you value alone time and enjoy it, it means you’re in touch with your higher self and you don’t need to be constantly surrounded by other people in order to feel alive and happy.

You don’t need to attend every single event in your area in order to feel like you’re living your life to the fullest.

Passar algum tempo sozinho tornou-se uma rotina para si, porque o ajuda a recarregar baterias e a avaliar as suas ligações e a sua situação atual. 

Este é um dos melhores autocuidado methods. You see, the fact that you’re worrying whether you are exactly where you are supposed to be is proof that you truly are.

Ser argumentativo e crítico tornou-se uma coisa do passado

The main reason why we tend to judge others is because we don’t like ourselves. 

Ao acentuar as peculiaridades e os defeitos das outras pessoas (especialmente em redes sociais), we’re making ourselves look more presentable, but that’s not a real perception of how things truly are.

When we try to outsmart others, we’re actually doing it because we think they are smarter than us and we want to prove to ourselves or the world that they are not. 

We see everyone as a potential threat to our self-esteem (especially those who are “better than us” in certain areas of life). People sometimes do that because they are not happy with onde eles estão neste momento.

So, if you don’t feel the need to judge others or argue with them (or you’ve never had the need at all), then you know you’re satisfied with yourself and your life. 

It means you’re connected with your verdadeiro eu e saber que tem um boa vidamas também disposto a melhorar as coisas, fazendo um esforço diário.

A importância de procurar ajuda não está perdida para si

You don’t have a problem asking others for help when needed because you don’t think that this will make you look weak or less competent.

You understand that every single one of us excels at some things that others don’t and you respect that. 

So, whenever you have some difficulties that you can’t deal with on your own, you ask for help or advice because you know that this is how it should be.

You’re not supposed to go through or do everything alone and that’s more than okay. 

You’re an active, fully responsible participant in your life

Cuidar de si e dos seus entes queridos é o seu principal objetivo na vida. Desde o seu trabalho até autocuidado rituais, you try to do everything the best you can and you’re proud of that. 

O seu estado de espírito is in active mode instead of passive because you’re a fully responsible participant in your life. Perhaps you don’t enjoy doing certain things, but you know it’s necessary for improving your existence.

You don’t want anything to be served to you just like that because you value hard work, invested time, and dedication above everything else.

Na sua mente, tudo é uma oportunidade para crescer

Já não vê os desafios, as contradições ou as discussões como algo negativo, mas como oportunidades para aprender coisas novas e adquirir novas perspectivas. 

You’re open to improving your mindset and you’re constantly on the lookout for new ways to grow both mentally and physically. Recently I stumbled upon this amazing quote that is still ringing in my ears: 

“You must always be willing to truly consider evidence that contradicts your beliefs, and admit the possibility that you may be wrong. Intelligence isn’t knowing everything, it’s the ability to challenge everything you know.” – Unknown

And here’s one extra sign that you are exactly where you are supposed to be: 

É uma pessoa única.a-kind unique human being and there isn’t another YOU in the whole world. You are special and you have your own unique path and pace of evolving. 

No matter how you’re feeling right now about where you are, remember these wise words by John Lennon: 

“Everything will be okay in the end. If it’s not okay, it’s not the end.”
