You're going to have them no matter what you do!
If you are sick, you will have them. If you are well, you'll still have 'em.
Happy? You'll have them. Failing? Yep. You'll have them for sure.
What are they?
PROBLEMS.
Get used to the fact that you will always have problems. Here's the real question:
Are you dealing with the right problems?
Are you experiencing the problems (challenges) connected to living your life of purpose?
Are you dealing with your own problems or somebody else's?
Are you focused on real problems or "fake" ones that you made up just to look busy?
You are going to have problems. Choose the ones attached to the life you want to lead.
It's a fork in the road.
Which path will you choose?
There are only two options: V or V?
1. Do you want to go through this world feeling, believing, seeing, and knowing that you are a Victim?
Or:
2. Do you want to see and experience yourself as a Victor?
If you want to be the Victim, you WILL find tons of reasons why it's true that you are one.
-The way you've been treated.
-What happened to you as a kid.
-The fact that he/she (truly) did you wrong.
If you go with "Victor" it's not as easy. But it is simple.
Put on the glasses of gratitude. You will start to see that you are blessed beyond belief. That your very life itself shows that you are worthwhile...yes a "Winner" even.
How you see yourself and how you interpret what happens to you determines your experience...of life.
As Anais Nin said, "We don't see things as they are. We see things as we are."
