Don't Become Discouraged!
As today is a new day, you can change your day just by focusing more on the blessing. Often we become so overwhelmed with situations in our lives that we forget about the blessing of a positive thought. Our minds may turn to negative thinking, and if anything can stir up emotions it's certainly negative thinking. What we often forget is that it is a choice in where we allow our minds to wander. Certainly it's easy to think about all that has gone wrong just as easily is the choice to focus on what has gone right and what can change for us.
I know how hard life can be. I know all too well about disappointment, and discouragement. Yet we all have our mountains before us and it's through adversity where we find strength. I hope you can offer encouragement to someone who stands before their mountain. We all have trials to face in our lives. Remind them that through their thinking they can achieve great things. It's the mind thinking good thoughts that will try and try again to finally reach success. It's the mind thinking negative thoughts that will never try, and wallow in negative thinking. So be very careful of what strong holds you allow in your life.
Thomas Edison tried to create the light bulb 10,000 times. He failed 9,999 times before reaching his goal. How many of us would have given up after the first few tries? Do you think he kept doing the same thing over and over again? Or do you think he learned to change his plan along the way? We too need to learn how to adjust to what isn't working and come up with new plans when the old ones seem to be all wrong. Often in relationships we keep going around and around the same old issues over and over again. It's like a mouse spinning on a wheel going around and around and around. So you may need to change your path or adjust your plans. One thing to keep in mind is that your THOUGHTS are crucial to your success. Your belief must be much stronger than someone coming along telling you that you can't do it. It's the fight to succeed which will get you to your goal.
I know most of us aren't trying to create a light bulb. Yet the idea of your thoughts is just like a light bulb going on in your world. It's time to turn on the light of positive thinking and get out of the dark. Maybe the tunnel before you seems like there isn't a light at the end of it, but I'm going to tell you to take a baby step and that first step is in BELIEVING in yourself. No matter what your trial, you can be like Thomas Edison and make your dream a reality too. It WILL take effort, and it WILL take determination. The key to success begins with a positive thought.
Wishing you the very best for a fantastic day and weekend!
Your calls help me raise my adopted little guy with Down syndrome. He was born with two holes in his heart, two holes in one eye (colobomas), and he is losing patches of his hair. It took two very long years to find this little guy, and we've faced many obstacles along the way since then. Just remember EACH life is a blessing, and we all need to focus on our abilities and strengths! God bless! HAPPY POSITIVE THINKING!
