Welcome to Day 270...
And realizing it happens to the best of us.
What you may ask?
Well that things can go wrong, get broken, stall and even fall apart completely.
That's life.
I've been frustrated by the busyness of my life lately and not getting the time (not in my control) and my effort (totally in my control) in place to get my book donw.
But I'm feeling a bit more positive today, thanks to a post from the Power of Positivity Blog about things to keep in mind when nothing seems to be going your way...
So if you need to turn your day or your week around, here are some things to remember...
“Keep
going; everything happens for a reason. Even if you feel that life is merely one
catastrophe after another, all of these difficulties only serve to test us and
make us stronger. They enable us to handle future situations in a better way,
and teach us valuable lessons about life. Without struggles, we would not
experience growth as human beings.
Pain
is temporary. Any
situation never lasts forever, whether that be a bad breakup, financial
struggles, family arguments, or other issues. No matter what you might be going
through, console yourself by remembering that you are the master of your
emotions. You can choose to see the silver lining in any situation, and
transmute the pain into an opportunity for growth.
There
is purpose in your pain. Spiritual
teachers in the past commonly advised that we attract what we feel and what we
are, so any bad situation we face is often the product of our own thoughts and
feelings. This may not always hold true, but oftentimes any negative situation
can be looked at as a valuable learning tool and an experience to test our
highest selves.
Maybe
you should do exactly what you’re afraid of doing. The only way to experience growth is to
leave the comfort zone behind. Sometimes you need to test your limits and throw
caution to the wind in order to know your true capabilities. You might unearth
newfound passions and totally new sides of yourself that you never knew before
by conquering your greatest fears.
The
bad days allow you to appreciate the good ones even more.Without
bad days, you wouldn’t even recognize the good ones as “good,” because you
would only have a limited perspective to go by! The funny thing about life is
that we can’t know pleasure without pain, happiness without sadness, victories
without struggles, and so on. We live in a dualistic reality, meaning we experience
opposite ends of the same spectrum in most aspects of life. Appreciate the full
experience that this human realm can offer, because often the worst occurrences
unveil the best lessons.”
