Stop Focusing On Who You Are Not

“Stop focusing on what you don’t have, and shift your consciousness to an appreciation for all you are and all that you do have.”- Wayne W. Dyer

To see what you have, to enjoy what you have, to celebrate what you have, you MUST stop focusing on what you do not have. Stop worrying yourself about what other people have.

Appreciate your life. Appreciate your health. Appreciate your soul. Celebrate your life. Do not bring yourself down. Do not even try to do what you do not enjoy. Why? Because you are not going to be happy with yourself.

Do not forget that “the purpose of our lives is to be happy.” If you are not happy, it is because your focus is not on what you have, not on who you are, not on who you are becoming, but on what you do not have, on who you are not.

Be happy. Do what makes you happy. And you will find happiness within.

How To Find Yourself Again

We are here to face our hurdles, not to run away from them. In life, there are many hurdles, there are many problems. You are not going anywhere if you do not comfront them. You are not going anywhere if you do not have the courage to face them. If you want them to go away, you must do something about them.

“A person who’s happy will make others happy.”- Anne Frank

Whatever you are going through in your life, remember, nothing is going to be here forever. Plants are not going to be here forever. Human beings are not going to be here forever. Animals are not going to be here forever. Nothing.

Nothing is going to last forever, not even your problems, not even your fears, not even your doubts, not even your mistakes, not even your failures. So whatever you are going through in your life, it will come to pass. It is not going to be here forever.

“A person who has courage and faith will never die in misery.”- Anne Frank

Be patient with yourself. Instead of comparing yourself to others, why not focus on what is going well for you. If you look within, you will find yourself again.

There is always something left to celebrate, to appreciate, to love, and to embrace. Remember that you live within you. So if you want to find yourself again, you must look within you. According to Anne Frank, “I’ve found that there is always some beauty left- in nature, sunshine, freedom, in yourself; these can all help you. Look at these things, then you find yourself again, and God, and then you regain your balance. A person who’s happy will make others happy; a person who has courage and faith will never die in misery.” If you have courage, you will live. You will never die in misery.
