I am sure most of us have heard of the secret, both the book and the movie. It is one thing to know that we need to control our mind with positive thoughts, but a far different story to actually do it. Let me explains further.
It is easy for me to give good sound advice (or so I think it is), but yet it is hard for me to follow my own advice when things become personal to us. This is why it is so crucial for us to control our own thoughts and emotions, so we don't panic and make bad decisions . PATIENCE is a word that jumps out at me...my weakest link.
We all like to hear good comeback stories, weather it be in sports or in life. As human beings, we want to see people succeed through struggles..yet we don't want to struggle to succeed. It is hard for us to see through the forest when we are struggling, not realizing that it is making us stronger. Some key moments in my life were when I was in prison, feeling all unhappy and sorry for myself, when it clicked with me that there are millions of people who would give anything to switch places with me. So who am I to complain about anything. Health is the ultimate wealth.
It is easy to be grateful when all is going well, but who can be thankful for the hard times during the hard times? This is a true sign of freedom and maturity. We all struggle with issues in one form or another in life, some are just a little more public than others.
One way to help overcome this trap is to talk to yourself instead of listening to yourself. Feed your mind positive thoughts throughout the day, so that when a challenge hits you, you will have the balance and sate of mind to take on this struggle. Smile and laugh more...enjoy the journey we call life..we only get one.
