Something I hear often… I am “surviving yet another…”

Some people are surviving yet another medical setback, another kid crisis, another disappointment, another and another and another, etc.

It all boils down to surviving our own expectations of how things should be. 

Life is happening entirely through the filter of our own mind. It is our own thinking that causes us to feel disappointed. For example:

A man lives in a shack and is thrilled he has a roof over his head because once he didn’t. Every day he works to improve the shack by fixing it up and bringing in some fresh wild flowers he cuts from the field. He is always grateful and lives a happy life.

—OR—

A man lives in a shack and feels sorry for himself because this is all he has. Every day he complains and compares himself to those who have more. He does nothing to improve his situation or attitude. He is always unhappy and dies miserable.

How about instead of “surviving yet another,” we change our words to something like “I get another chance to….” 

Another chance to get healthy, another chance to fix my relationship, another chance to start again and make things better, another chance to spend time with my kid, another chance at love, life, joy, etc.

Today is another chance to be a gift to the world! Take the chance and see what you can do with it! 🙂

Love,

Heather
