Turning Things Around In 2019 (Part 2)
-Remember you are flawed and so is everyone else.
You can disappoint people and still be good enough. You can fail and still be smart, talented and capable of success. You can let people down and still be worthwhile and deserving of love and admiration. We all make mistakes sometimes. Take a deep breath. It’s OK to be human. God's grace is still sufficient to help us overcome our shortcomings.
-Study your mistakes closely and learn from them.
Disappointments and failure are two of the greatest stepping-stones to the place you want to go. Again, don’t let a hard lesson harden your heart. When things go wrong, learn what you can and then push the heartbreak aside by refocusing your faith on the present step. Remember that life’s best lessons are often learned at the worst times and from the worst mistakes. We must fail in order to know, and hurt in order to grow. Good things often fall apart so better things can fall together in their place, and what’s better already is the more informed step you’re able to take right now.
-Choose a positive and effective response.
Happiness doesn’t start with a relationship, a vacation, a job or even money. It starts with you. If you want life to be happier, you need to be mindful of your present response. It’s how you deal with stress in each little moment that determines how well you achieve happiness in the end. Nobody can decide that for you. You have to make the right choices!
-Directly confront the thoughts that worry you.
A tiny part of your life is decided by completely uncontrollable circumstances, while the vast majority of your life is decided by how you respond to them. Recognize this hard truth: sometimes changing your situation isn’t possible or simply not possible soon enough, but you can always choose a mindset that moves you forward. Doing so will help you change things from the inside out, and ultimately allow you to grow beyond the struggles you can’t control at any given moment. Here’s a powerful question that will support you with an attitude adjustment when you need it most: Who would you be, and what else would you see, if you removed the thought that’s worrying you?
