1- Recognize The Blessing
It’s no secret that life can be immensely difficult. If you are reading this article now, chances are you are feeling this way.
That’s nothing to be ashamed of. By reaching out for help, you are already winning half the battle. Take a moment to reflect on the fact that the information we need to get by in life, is often right at our fingertips. We are immensely lucky to be living in an age
where information is easily accessible.
Positive Affirmation: Technology is a blessing! To ignore its value is unwise in our quest toward happiness and rejuvenation. Allow yourself to rediscover the gift of technology, without being ruled by it.
2- You Are Not Alone
Many spiritual men and women who have gone before us, have maintained that all of life is a single organism. Yet we are all
individuals within this body. When one of us falls, we all fall.
When one of us rises, we all rise. Therefore, recognize that you are not alone in your struggle. We all face adversity. Adversity rears its ugly head in many shapes and forms, yet is a common factor in all of our lives. We fight not to shun or ignore adversity, but to gain the strength to face it. It is good to remember that you are not the only person that experiences pain. It can often feel
that way. During the thick of the storm, it is easy to lose sight of the fact that most of the people you know are facing difficult trials of their own.
Positive Affirmation: Your demons can only get stronger when you have your back turned to them. By facing your challenges you are a step ahead in the game!
3- Discover The Path
Sometimes you’re better off having one clear vision for your future, than ten standard goals. Everybody has goals. Some come to fruition, some don’t. But if you have a clear vision for your future, you’ve equipped yourself with a valuable tool. Whether you’re trying to lose weight, finish school, or embark on the journey of a new career, a vision is your friend. Now remember, no vision is complete without execution. Take action today, to ensure that you are where you want to be tomorrow. Delaying and
procrastinating will simply keep you off the path rather than push you along it. You want to be walking hand-in-hand with your vision, rather than watching it from a distance. Be flexible and
allow your vision to alter, but never lose sight of it.
Positive Affirmation: Think of your vision as you would a friend.
Bury it in your subconscious and allow it to wander to the forefront of your mind frequently. Guard it with intensity and don’t let anyone, including yourself, get in the way of it. Indeed, your life
can and does depend on it.
