Stronger than the problems
+++++++++++++++++++

Do not seek to be free of the problems. Work to be stronger
than the problems.

A life with no problems would be a life with no
opportunities for growth or achievement. That’s not what you
want, and it is certainly not realistic.

In the real world there are difficult problems, and there
will always be. Yet there are also countless possibilities
for progress and true fulfillment.

Don’t waste your time fantasizing about a life free of
problems. Instead, use your imagination and your efforts to
transform those problems into positive value.

Embrace each situation as it is, along with all the
problems. Accept that the problems exist, and you can then
begin to successfully work through them.

Life will always be challenging in one way or another. So
rise to the challenges and use your unique set of abilities
to make life great.

Ralph Marston

Wellness that is being allowed—or the wellness that is being denied—is all about the mindset, the mood, the attitude, the practiced thoughts. There is not one exception, in any human or beast; because, you can patch them up again and again, and they will just find another way of reverting back to the natural rhythm of their mind. Treating the body really is about treating the mind. It is all psychosomatic. Every bit of it, no exceptions.

—Abraham

Find the good
+++++++++++++++++++

It’s just as easy to choose joy as it is to choose despair.
It’s just as easy to imagine the best that can happen as it
is to imagine the worst.

It’s really not so difficult to find the good in any
situation. You simply have to make the decision to look with
positive expectations.

It is just as realistic to respond to life with positive
enthusiasm as it is to respond with negativity. And it puts
you in a whole lot better, more powerful place.

Take a step back away from your ego. Look objectively and
carefully at the way you live each moment.

See that you always have a choice when it comes to your
attitude, your actions, your assumptions and expectations.
Then imagine arranging all those things into a highly
effective positive perspective.

Rather than living by habit and reaction, make the choice to
live by intention. Decide that it will be a great day, a
great year, a great experience, a great life, and then make
it so.
