melsdream: Daily Thought

Wednesday, May 06, 2015

I am a creative being.

I have the power of reason, the ability to think, hope and dream.

I can envision my life not only as it is, but as I might wish it to be.

I can then think through the steps I might need to become more of who I am.

I have the power to think my way into a happy point of view, to see the glass as half full rather than half empty.

My mind can be my greatest enemy or my greatest ally.

It depends on how I choose to use it.

IF we are to learn to cope with our limitations and our life, we must begin focusing on solutions, not just on our problems. But this means we must change our attitude and outlook. We can no longer live as if there are only problems in our lives. We can no longer consider ourselves victims and hold on to the attitude that our life will never change. Nor can we continue to be consumed by self-pity. If so, we will fail to take responsibility for finding solutions. We will continue to live within what we have grown to know so well: our problems.
