When Everything Seems to be Going Bad

Well, it happens to all of us no matter how positive and motivated we are.  This is an article about me and what is happening right now.  I am frustrated with not getting anywhere with a major project, my son is having a hard time finding a new job and I am worried about him, and my car will not start so I put it into the shop this morning.  Not exactly the mindset for doing something extraordinary today.

But wait, these are distractions, nothing more!  I am the one who lets them affect my way of thinking.  My own worldview is filtering these circumstances to force me into believing life is unkind and woe is me.  I have a choice.  I can be led by these circumstances or I can choose to be led by who I am.  And I choose the later.  I am a positive person who is focused on helping people realize who they are and live by their being.  I am a teacher and therefore a model of positive, abundant living.  I have experience as an entrepreneur and business leader and I desire to share my expertise with others for their benefit.  This is who I am.  This is who I am. 

So how can you change your path when bad things happen to you.  First realize what you have control of and what you do not.  You cannot do anything about circumstances beyond your control so never ask why is this happening to me.  You will chase this answer and waste away countless hours for no reason.  So instead of asking why, ask what now.  Deal with it, work with it, move in a different direction and life will suddenly bring you back to your happy place as it is doing for me right this very minute.  If you are reading this and it is helping you in any way, I am living according to who I am and you are discovering your way to be who you are.  My focus is being completed as you read this.  And so, to you I am incredibly grateful.  The negative “stuff” has faded away and I have returned to fulfill my role as I mentioned above.  There can be no greater joy than this for me.
