So brings with it so many peaks and valleys. We have our ups and downs; good times and bad. Needless to say, it can become very overwhelming and sometime the thought of throwing in the towel feels and sounds much easier and less gruesome than fighting the good fight until the desired result is attained. Am I stepping on your baby toe here? I hope that I am because that means that you're reading the article that is going to inflict change upon your life.
As you encounter challenges in life, it is vital to understand and remind yourself often that it's not forever! Living life is like going experiencing the change in seasons. You have a season of winter, spring, summer and fall. Within each season, there is an experience of beauty and not so much beauty. The important thing to remember is that each season is temporary.
Just like the season that you're in now. It maybe hard on every side. It may seem like life is squeezing the life out of you. It may feel like you are about to exhale for the last time. It's painful. It wrenching, but I have great news for you my friend. Your season is about to change. You're close to the end of this season and your breakthrough is closer than you think.
Lift up your head! Be encouraged. You have survived this one. You made it! Your change is coming. All you have to do is encourage yourself, surround yourself with positive people, and maintain your hope.
So how do you encourage yourself? Read positive and self improvement books, listen to uplifting audio and speak positive affirmations. I'll be honest with you, initially this will not be easy. It may seem ineffective initially, but I promise you that as long as you continue to do all of the above, you'll begin to feel the change. You'll even see the shift that will take place in your life.
You must also evaluate the company that you keep as well. This one, out the three, is the most challenging because we never want to consider those closest to us to be the most harmful for us. The truth my friend, is that your friends and family can be your greatest blessing and hindrance. Since they are closest to us, they are the most influential. They can add to our lives or subtract from our lives. So, make a list of all of the people you hang around most. Ask yourself whether these people are uplifting, supportive, encouraging, and honest. If so, keep those individuals in your life. If they are negative, dishonest, jealous, and/or non-supportive, it is time to separate or reduce your time with these people. It hurts, but I promise you, that it is the best decision that you'll ever make for yourself.
So do something for yourself and choose you!
