As we make our way into 2014, I know we all want to believe this will be our best year yet. There is something to be said for hope. It can be motivational. It can lift us above the disappointments of the past. It can spur us on to thinking in positive, creative ways. But what happens when we hit a bump in the road, and it feels more like a brick wall?
Like you, things don't always go my way. I'm learning to deal with that. I've come to find ways of picking myself up quite quickly and adjusting my thinking to a positive perspective, especially since I've gotten older and have faced more daunting problems. Below, I've included a link to a young woman who is especially adept at this. Her story is much more compelling than mine; her obstacles much greater than any I have faced. Listen to her and ask yourself, "What defines me?"
Gratefully, for each of us, life is the product of your own creation. No matter what challenges you face, or who may attempt to dissuade you from your belief in your potential, it is YOU who are in charge of your life. Click on the link, and be prepared to be inspired!
