No one said that life was going to be easy. You get to decide how you handle any situation. You can both learn and grow from a situation, you can remain the same, or you can digress and wallow in your sorrow or pain…YOUR CHOICE! No one has control over the way you feel but you! I don’t care if someone just verbally assaulted you (I’m not saying that is right) you can either choose to stay connected to that person or grow wings and fly.
For every negative perspective someone else has a positive view on the situation. Two people looking at the same broken down car: One person can say OMG what am I going to do this piece of shit won’t get me to work while another person can look at the same car and say I can’t wait to restore that old beauty and get her purring like a kitten again. Do you see the difference? There will always be two sides to a coin just as there are two choices to make. Either remain the same or better your future!
Now you may say…Oh I see but HOW do I better my future? Well I hate to slap you across the face but WAKE UP; change won’t just occur by itself you must create it. It may take many long hard hours, dedication, and commitment but if you truly want change you MUST do the WORK. Unfortunately if you live in the USA someone claims to have a quick fix for EVERYTHING: Weight loss, get rich quick, ON DEMAND, get credit NOW, and thousands of other scams that people feed into daily! That is all ADVERTISING. Marketers have been doing their job for a long time and realize the tricks, the terms, and what YOU feed into! Get up and realize NOTHING will fall into your lap and that the successful people you know today, they didn’t become successful over night. It was the daily habits that those people created for themselves that over time turned into SUCCESS. You didn’t see the HOURS upon HOURS Michael Phelps spent in the pool to win 8 Gold medals in 2008 Beijing Games and 4 Gold and 2 Slivers in 2012 London Games. No all they see is his SUCCESS and wanted to be him. I could go on and on and tell you story after story where a successful individual put in many hours, days, months and years to achieve success. So why do we think we can accomplish something over night or within a month or two? WE CAN’T! Stop complaining what do they have that I don’t? Why can’t I do it too? Start focusing on the SMALL baby steps it will take you to get started. Then be consistent and realize YES YOU are going to FAIL! Then learn from your failures and push on! YOU CAN do it!
Begin today! What do you want to change? What kind of life do you want to live? Where do you see yourself in 10, 15, 20 years from now? Stop looking for instant gratification and start building the future you want for yourself! No one said it will be easy but when you are standing on the top looking down it’s a pretty sweet view!
Yes, struggles do make you stronger!
