‘Know your place. Learn to belong, because wherever you go, there you are. There’s nowhere else real to be.’– Sharon Blackie

To be comfortable with yourself, you must know your place. Knowing your place is important to your happiness. It is important to who you are becoming.

If you want to enjoy the world around you, if you want to enjoy what you are doing, if you want to enjoy the people you hang out with, you must learn to belong.

You must learn to belong to yourself. You must learn to belong to your inner self. When you belong to yourself, no one can separate you from your dreams.

When you belong to yourself, it means you know who you are. It is important. If you can do it for you, you can achieve anything.

Remember, ‘Wherever you go, there you are.’ To enjoy where you are, why not learn to belong to yourself?

Why not learn to be comfortable with yourself, with who you are, and with who you are becoming?

“Victory belongs to the most persevering.”- Napoleon 1 of France

There is strength in overcoming obstacles. We grow when we overcome obstacles. We do great things when we overcome obstacles. Whether we like it or not, if we want to grow , we must face our obstacles. We must defeat them. If not, we can’t move forward. According to Henry Ward Beecher, “Difficulties are God’s errands; and when we are sent upon them, we should esteem it a proof of God’s confidence,- as a compliment from God.”

“I attempt a difficult work; but there is no excellence without difficulty.”- Ovid

We don’t see problems as gifts. We see them as problems. Remember, when you focus on problems, you create more problems for yourself.

To change that, instead of focusing on your problems, why not focus on what you can do about your problems? To put it simply, why not focus on solutions? When you are faced with a difficult issue, do not run from it. Look at it, analyze it, and get to work. Do not think of a problem as a problem, but as an opportunity to grow. When you see something as a problem, it becomes a real problem. As Helen Keller once said, “You have set yourselves a difficult task, but you will succeed if you persevere, and you will find a joy in overcoming obstacles.” Yes, there is power in overcoming obstacles. What do you think?

“Do not think of a problem as a problem, but as an opportunity to grow.”
