You can always choose your attitude

Life isn’t all roses and rainbows.

Relationships can sour.

Careers can end.

Health can deteriorate.

We will all face such challenges during our short time on this rock.

Some of us, more so than others.

Yet, all of us will face some adversity.

That’s totally out of our control.

From the richest to the poorest.

From the strongest to the weakest.

From one end of any measure of fortune to the other.

Every single one of us will face hardship.

That is inevitable.

Sure, we can take steps to ameliorate the hardship we face.

But we will face it.

We have no choice in the matter.

Our lives are largely out of our control.

From where and how we start.

To where and how we finish.

We might make decisions here and there.

But most of what happens is not by choice.

We’re just doing what we can in the face of what the universe hands us.

While much of life is not chosen, there is at least one thing you can choose.

You can't always choose what happens with your relationships.

You can't always choose what happens with your career.

You can't always choose what happens with your health.

You can't always choose what happens with your life.

You can always choose your attitude.

Choose to make the most of your circumstances.

Choose to not let life’s problems bring you down.

Choose to work diligently to change what you can, and to accept what you can’t.

Choose your attitude.

You can always do at least that.

You’ve got this.

What’s actually happening?

We often assign stories to what’s going on around us. These stories can have elaborate introductions, conclusions, and messages. Rarely, though, do we ask ourselves if these stories are helpful or eve...

What if we simply listened?

Allowing others to open up to us can be a powerful tool for exchanging the gift of connection. So often, though, we're too focused on responding, controlling, or judging for any connection to form. We...

Life isn't always a problem to be solved

We often get stuck in patterns of problem solving. No matter what comes our way, we feel the need to do something. Sometimes, though, there's nothing for us to do. Life isn't always a problem to be so...

Those we see as least worthy of compassion are often those who need it most

Holding compassion for those we see as malicious, selfish, or otherwise unworthy may not feel right. Such characteristics, however, are often rooted in deep suffering or fear. Those we see as least wo...

Let your thoughts serve you

Our thoughts make wonderful servants. They can be invaluable for reflection, forethought, and contemplation. When we accept them without question, though, we allow them to act as our masters. They can...

You'll never hate yourself into loving yourself

Make peace with your imperfection
