Contrary to popular belief.. NO, what doesn’t kill you WILL NOT make you STRONGER! You decide with your decisions who you will become. Will you become stronger or weaker. The winner or the victim. Struggles and life are there to challenge, and you react and make decisions, thus shape yourself.

We all struggle everyday, with various things, in various ways.. very often people don’t talk about it, but that’s another topic.

What I would like to emphasize here is that you are the one who decides who you will become. Not external factors. Not life. Not your parents or partner. But you.

Therefore, we have various people who go through similar situations, but not all of them come out of those situations the same. There are those who become weaker, there are those who see the lessons and learn them, there are those who do not allow life to break them.. which means that with your decisions today you decide who you will be tomorrow. Talking about your physical and mental self.

To clarify, when I say ‘you will become stronger or weaker’. It’s not about the current feeling, but about your personality, your attitude towards life, yourself and others. It absolutely does not mean that if you are strong you cannot feel weak, of course you can.

Duality is always present.

So it’s not about a feeling, but about the role you take by making decisions. Weak people always complain and play the role of a victim, someone else is always to blame, for example, while strong people take responsibility for their lives into their own hands.

I hope it’s clear now.

So.. NO, what doesn’t kill you WILL NOT make you STRONGER!

Next, I would like you to always keep this in mind:

1. When you struggle, you give yourself the opportunity to grow.

2. Your attitude and decisions you make when you struggle determines your character, your personality. Either you become stronger, or you become a victim.

3. It’s not about life, it’s about you and your attitude.

4. When you struggle, you will learn so much about yourself, your life & your surroundings.

5. It doesn’t matter if you failed or if you feel down, failures are part of life and lead to success. It’s ok to feel bad. What matters is to give yourself time to process and get up. Don’t lose your shit.

6. Even when you lose your shit, that’s ok too. We’re human. Find a way to rise, help yourself. Again, you decide.

7. Whatever you’re going through, don’t identify with it. Listen to your body and take as much time as YOU need to process, understand, heal. To readjust and restart!

8. Yes, of course it will be hard, life can be hard, we all know that. However, this difficulty will not last forever, like the one when you make yourself a victim and stay with that role. It’s hard for you and your surroundings.

9. Even when you feel lost, when you feel that there is no solution, there is always one. Accepting the situation is always the key and starting point.

Therefore.. NO, what doesn’t kill you WILL NOT make you STRONGER! Choose carefully, be responsible for yourself.

Depending on when you’re reading this, I wish you either a beautiful day or a good night, you beautiful soul! 🙏💙
Love and namaste,

Irina

So, let me introduce myself. My name is Irina Vujaklija and I was born in Belgrade on 31 January 1979. Who am I? Love. I know, you will roll your eyes.. But that is how it is. Discovering my true self wasn’t an easy process. Constantly working on myself, learning by seeking answers to many questions, I have managed to overcome very complicated life situations. Among other things, my severe motorcycle accident in 2004. A life altering moment in just one second.
