We are always obsessing over things that might go wrong, about the disheartening things people might think about us, and so on and so forth.In a nutshell, we are focused on the negative possibilities only.
But those negative possibilities are just a few small possibilities out of a pool of many. So the chances of them becoming a reality are slim. And even if one of them does become a reality, the negative impact of this reality is rarely as disastrous as we imagine.
Here are a few points to remind you of some clear signs that you will be just fine, even if you don’t feel fine right now.
* Everything in life is temporary. Nothing lasts. Every moment gives us a new beginning and a new ending. We literally get a second chance every second.
You are a product of your past, but you don’t have to be a prisoner of it. You become a prisoner when you cling to what no longer exists. So remember that if you’re brave enough to say goodbye, life will reward you with a new hello. It may be hard, but you can let go… and to a certain degree, you must.
You may not know where you are headed, but you know that so long as your wings are spread, the winds will carry you forward.
* You can be angry at the world for the pain and struggle you are faced with. You can attempt to resist and deny the experiences of sadness, frustration, confusion, and so forth. Just beware that all of these choices will ultimately lead you in spiraling circles of deeper and darker despair.
A more effective choice, perhaps, is to fully embrace reality and the broad range of life experiences you encounter, taking the good with the bad. This includes all of your emotions, all of your ups and downs, all of your blissful moments and painful ones, and the entirety of everything in between.
* When everything is broken, it’s easy to find plenty of little things you can fix. When nothing seems to be going right, even the most fundamental positive effort can make a significant difference. Times of great adversity are also times of great opportunity. When there are problems in every direction, there is also great value waiting to be created.
It’s easy to forget how incredibly capable and resourceful you can be. Resolve to persevere one small step at a time.
Choose a specific area of your life that you want to improve, and then
* Write down the specific details about your current circumstances.
* Write down the answer to the question: What are the daily rituals that have contributed to your current circumstances?
* Write down the specific details about your ideal circumstances.
* Write down your answer to this question: What are the daily rituals that will get you from where you are to where you want to be?
The bottom line is that every moment of your life builds upon the next. This moment is the bridge between the reality of where you are and the vision of where you want to be.
