If you want to be successful in your life, in your career, and in your relationships, you must deliver yourself, your soul, from these demons.

According to Arthur C. Brooks, ‘State your desire to be free

From putting my career before the people in my life, deliver me.

From distracting myself from life with work, deliver me.

From my drive to be superior to others, deliver me.

From the allure of the world’s empty promises, deliver me.

From my feelings of professional superiority, deliver me.

From allowing my pride to supplant my love, deliver me.

From the pains of withdrawing from my addiction, deliver me.

From the dread of falling into decline and being forgotten, deliver me.’

The Choice Is Always Yours

The choice is always yours. No one can change your life for you. No matter what you are going through in your life, you can change it.

But it starts with a choice. Do not limit yourself. You are better than you think. When you are faced with issues, do not focus your time and energy on what you are going through. Instead of doing that, why not focus on your time and energy on how you are going to make things better?

‘Struggle … is our reaction, our resistance, our anger towards and our inability to deal with the pain when it happens.’- Gerry Hussey

Things will always happen. You can’t stop things from happening to you. That is life. Remember, according to Gerry, ‘You can learn that you always have a choice, and that the choice you have is not whether pain appears in your life or not, but how you choose to respond to it.’

Your life is not about what you are going through in your life. It is about what you are becoming. It is about what you are learning from what you are going through in your life.
