Don't Let Struggle Become Your Identity

Life was never meant to be a struggle - but sometimes it seems that way.  If you don’t catch yourself it’s easy to slide into a really unhappy place, and if you leave it long enough this can lead to darkness and self doubt. Life is full of problems - get over it.  Good enough is not good enough.  Not for you.  Not now.  You may have come to expect that your problems are status quo. There are new chances available to you that could help you make things much better.  Mare sure you aren't so complacent that you fail to spot your options.  "Look at your problems as problems and they will hold you down.  See them as blessings in disguise and that's what they'll become." I’m pretty sure that you can remember some serious drama and it seemed like it was going to be the end of the world.  If you ask yourself this question "Is this going to matter a year from now?"  The answer is usually no because you will have a whole new set of problems facing you.  That's life -   time will likely ease whatever difficulty we might be experiencing now – time heals.   Our natural reaction is to get caught up in a tornado of emotion which sets us off balance and burns an enormous amount of energy.  Why burn the fuel?

Best,
