Things happen in life. You can’t stop things from happening. You can’t stop things from happening to you, but you can control how you manage them. When you are faced with a problem, do not think negatively about it. Think about how to make it work for you, not against you. Think about how you are going to change it. Think about what you are going to do to change the situation from negative to positive.

When it comes to managing a problem, the best thing you can do is to think positively about it. Do not worry about the problem, worry about how to make it work for you, not against you. In the words of Edgar Albert Guest, “When you’re up against a trouble, meet it squarely, face to face; lift your chin and set your shoulders, plant your feet and take a brace. When it’s vain to try to dodge it, do the best that you can do; you may fail, but you may conquer, see it through!” If you want to grow, that is what you should NEVER fail to do.

When you are faced with a problem, don’t run away from it. Running away from a problem makes it worse, not better. When you ignore a problem, it gets bigger, not smaller. So if you want a problem to go away, you MUST meet it with a greater power. The power within you.

Stop Saying You Are Not Good Enough Yourself

Anthony Trollope said, “Never think that you’re not good enough yourself. A man should never say that: people will take you very much at your reckoning.” Don’t say anything stupid about yourself. Use the power of your words to change your life. Stop calling yourself names. Don’t judge yourself. No one is a perfect human being. Instead of calling yourself names, why not commit yourself to your life?

You are not defined by what you do; you are defined by love. Commit yourself to your own life. Make your life better. Because without commitment to your life, you can’t really do anything with your time. Don’t let your past define you. Don’t let what you went through in your life define you. Don’t let what other people have done to you define your future.

You are who are. No one is like you. God created you for a purpose. You are here to create, not to consume. And to fully create your own life, to fully live your life, to fully follow your path, you must take charge of your life. You must stop saying you are not good enough. It is not true. You are good enough. You are good enough for yourself. Whether people like how you live your life or not, you are good enough for yourself.

Never disrespect yourself. And do not let anyone disrespect you. Because you will get what you accept into your life. Stop blaming yourself. The past is gone. You can’t get it back. So why worry about it?

If you want to enjoy your life, you must stop telling yourself negative things. You must stop feeding your mind with bad things about yourself. You must stop living an average life. You must stop doing average things. You must do things that cause you to love yourself even more. No matter what you have done to yourself, forgive yourself and move on. To do that, you must renew your mind. Because you can’t change your life with old thoughts. You can do it. Let us start now.
