Why You Feel Empty Inside

If you think you are not enough, you are wrong. If you think you are not whole, you are wrong. If you think you don’t have what it takes to create a better life for yourself, you are wrong. If you think life is not fair, you are right. If you think you are making progress, you are right.

Because life is about making progress. Life is not about making things perfect. It is about making progress. It is about appreciating what we have. It is about working hard to get what is important to us. It is NOT about waiting for miracles to happen. It is about creating our miracles. It is about respecting our lives, no matter what is going on around us.

If you don’t feel right, check your thoughts. Because what you are thinking about is what is affecting you, not your situation.

If you change your thoughts about your situation, your situation will change. And you can manage it.

Whether you are feeling right or not, do not let your feelings make you forget who you are, why you are here, and where you are going.

When things are difficult, it is easier to give up than it is to keep fighting for what we want. If you want to get what you want, no one is going to give it to you; you have got to fight for it.

If not you, who do you think is going to fight your battle for you? No one is going to do it. The world is too busy to even recognize your situation.

If you don’t feel right, that is okay. You are not going to feel great every day. Some days are going to be better. Whatever you have got, take it. And you can make things better for yourself when you focus on what is really working for you.

Don’t focus on darkness. Don’t focus on negativity. Do not focus on what is missing. Don’t worry about what others are doing. Your time is coming. If you don’t give up, if you can stick to your goal, if you can tell yourself that ‘you are whole’, nothing is going to stop you from living your life the way you want to live it.

The question is, ‘What are you doing to create a positive life for yourself?’

James Allen said, “Think good thoughts, and they will quietly become actualized in your outward life in the form of good conditions.” To stay positive in life, you have to stay away from negative things. You have to maintain a positive state of mind.

Everything starts in the mind. Don’t allow negative things into your mind. Don’t let negative people get access to your mind. Keep your mind sacred. Keep it holy. It is your temple. If you allow negative thoughts, feelings, emotions, associations to mess you up, you are the one who is going to suffer the disharmony within you.

It is hard to always stay positive. But with these six smart ways, you can stay positive in your life.

Focus on the bright side of things.

There are lots of negative things happening around us, but we can choose what we focus on. If you focus on negative things, you will be attracted to negative things. Focus on positive things, move with positive people, do and think about positive things every day.

Be grateful.

A lot of people are not happy because they think about what they don’t have, what is wrong with them, what is not working, what is broken. No, don’t do that. It is a complete waste of your time. Instead, focus all your energy on what is working for you. Appreciate what you have, no matter what. Don’t complain, but celebrate.

Do not doubt yourself.

You cannot stay positive in life if all you do is to continually tear yourself down. To stay positive in life, be positive about everything you do. If you doubt yourself, you have planted the seeds of fear, of doubt, of unhappiness, of sadness, of failure in your mind. No matter what, don’t doubt yourself. Believe in yourself. People will believe in you, too.

Hold the thought of superiority in your mind.

If you want to stay positive in life, let your mind be a positive temple. You cannot keep inferior thoughts in your mind and expect to live a positive life. That is not how life works. Orison Sweat Marden said, “If you want to reach nobility, you can never do it by holding the thought of inferiority- the thought that you are not as good as other people; that you are not as able; that you can’t do this; that you can’t do that.” There is nothing you cannot do if you want it badly. You can do anything if you believe in yourself, and if you know exactly what you want.

Bring out the best in you.

Bring out the best in you. You have it. Orison Sweat Marden said, “Nothing will compensate you for stifling the best thing in you. Bring it out at any sacrifice.” Don’t be scared to express who you really are. Don’t be scared to show people what you can do, and cannot do. Don’t be timid. Be brave. Life belongs to the brave, not to the timid. When you show your braveness, the world will embrace you, and success will come to you.

Help others.

We are more connected than you think. The world need your help. People need your help. They need your talents, your time, yourself. You can’t change the world alone, but you can help change one person. Start today. According to Dr. Travis Bradberry, “Helping other people gives you a surge of oxytocin, serotonin, and dopamine, all of which create good feelings.” Helping other people brings good feelings, which is good for your health and well-being.

Stay positive!
