YOU'RE BLESSED. SERIOUSLY!

YOU'RE BLESSED. SERIOUSLY!

You're blessed with the capacity to improve your circumstances. You're lucky. You should be delighted. You should appreciate, that you are able to do, whatever it takes, to leave your past behind. Where there is a will, there's a way! Especially when you sometimes lose your way. That's human. But your commitment to find your will and the way, not tomorrow, but today, is already part of you. You just have to turn on a switch. Go find that switch! 

How do we get from here to there? How do you find your will and the way? It's called commitment. Committing yourself to a specific course of action. Put your finger in the air and find out, where the wind is coming from. But crowd behaviour and herd mentality are often a recipe for disaster over time. So you may want to focus on doing the opposite. Most people would be very uncomfortable with that strategy. However, the lone contrarian is often able to achieve extraordinary success, provided patience is being seen as a virtue. The slow and steady turtle can win the race from the hare. 

How do you resist the temptation to do something, that is unwise? You would like to do it, wouldn't you? But you're blessed with the capacity to put a stop to that. It's called control. You have the power to be in control, despite all the pressures. If you can't control yourself, put yourself on a lead! Make your mind empty of tempting thoughts. Rest your head on a thick pillow and away you go!
