Opportunities do not come with instructions.
what’s your opinion?
Opinions should be processes rather than destinations.
when you feel like complaining
Have you ever thought to yourself: “Had I known ahead of time how hard this was going to be, I would have prepared myself better for it!”
Well, consider this: The truth may well be that had you indeed known the truth, you might not have found the strength to even get started.
So perhaps now is the time to just follow through with your best, eh?
a tip on effective self-reflection
Decided to think deeply about your Self? Excellent!
Here’s a handy tip: Learn to differentiate between thinking broadly and thinking deeply; huge difference.
what really defines us
It’s not our mistakes that define us, but rather the measures we take to right them.
earn your own great expectations
As a survival instinct, we can have a tendency to treat all the unpleasant cause & effect patterns we’ve ever experienced as having coalesced into a single ever-present “force or power”.
And because we have a powerful emotional “muscle memory” of those patterns, we can often hold this imaginary force or power as responsible for every single thing that has worked against us, seems to be working against us today, and may be expected to work against our well-being in the future as well
I think this is one reason why our Habitual Fears are able to command our attention so easily; we see them as harbingers of that power or force that we’re expecting to inevitably work against us!
One solution springs to mind that is quite simple, if perhaps not all that easy:
Rather than clinging to old emotions rooted in bad memories, we might all be better off basing our expectations on the reality of our present circumstances, capabilities, and possibilities.
always catch a good bounce
Don’t worry if you feel yourself about to emotionally “hit bottom” – you may just trigger the release of the fear, anger or resentment to which you are clinging, allowing you to rise from their ashes.
