Yesterday doesn’t determine today. If it wasn’t working yesterday, make the adjustments and move on.
Don’t carry yesterday’s baggage, today’s load will be enough.
Look ahead to the all the great possibilities,
leave the negative thoughts in the trash can.
“Physical muscles build up by facing the challenge weight. Mental muscles too grow stronger as we challenge them. According to Barbara Fredrickson, a leading positive psychology researcher, “in life there are situations where you have to perform in areas where you are weak, and it is those situations that may bring the most pride and the most lasting sense of confidence, achievement, and strength as well.” ~ Source
NOTE: Think back to your greatest successes, those that brought you the deepest satisfaction. More likely than not, you overcame significant challenges on your road to success. You faced difficulties and didn’t shy away. The result was success and an inner feeling that you did something special. You felt good about yourself. Don’t fear challenging situations. You knock them down and keep on going. Bring it on is your motto. You are confident.
“Never cut a tree down in the wintertime. Never make a negative decision in the low time. Never make your most important decisions when you are in your worst moods. Wait. Be patient. The storm will pass. The spring will come.” ~ Robert H. Schuller
NOTE: Nighttime isn’t permanent. Storms run out of wind and rain. It’s tough when you’re in the middle of the storm. It may seem as if it will never end. It will. Dawn will break and the storms will drift over the horizon leaving behind sunshine and blue sky. Don’t think of quitting. Don’t consider giving up. You’re strong. You’re stronger than you can imagine. It’s all going to work out.
NOTE: Once we decide to trust ourselves we unlock our storehouse of strength and confidence. No one else has the key to unlock it. It has to come from within each of us. It takes courage to trust oneself. Much like a young bird leaving the nest for the first time. It takes courage to believe it can fly. Unlock your door and fly. You know you can.
Song
Langston Hughes
Lovely, dark, and lonely one,
Bare your bosom to the sun,
Do not be afraid of light
You who are a child of night.
Open wide your arms to life,
Whirl in the wind of pain and strife,
Face the wall with the dark closed gate,
Beat with bare, brown fists
And wait.
“Everything you’ll ever need to know is within you; the secrets of the universe are imprinted on the cells of your body.”
“Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.”
“Your present circumstances don’t determine where you can go. They merely determine where you start.
~ Nido Qubein
