Hard good times and hard bad times

Aug 30, 2023

Hard bad times always arrive.
Hard good times are blessings too.
 
Here we discuss the mindset and challenges that life delivers, both the good and the bad.
 
Ultimately, You are in control
 
You are, you control your action; your energy, and what you do. That doesn't mean life won't provide you with interruptions, but even as we discussed above those are our own decision.
 
You are in control. How you react. How you respond. How you act. You control those states and efforts.
 
You are not in control of what happens to you, nor what other people do. So stop judging yourself based that which you do not control. It is the mistaken belief that you did control them that has you so stressed.
 
Focus on what you can impact and tackle all the hard bad. Embrace with gratitude and self awareness the good hard! You are leveling up in life and therefore ready (or will shortly become ready) to be proficient at this new level.
 
You got this, now go get it!
