It’s a choice
The world continues to be a challenging landscape as world events keep life precarious at best and downright scary at worst. It feels as though every thing is out of control. But, only YOU can make the decision to let it defeat you or to strengthen you.
You have power over your mind – not outside events. Realize this and you will find strength.
MARCUS AURELIUS
Focus on this instead
Whenever we are in the middle of hard times, we often forget about the things we are thankful for. Instead of focusing on the good, we obsess over all the challenges and difficulties we are facing.
The problem is that this does not serve us in any way. It only keeps us down, in a state of misery and completely demotivated. By focusing on what you’re thankful for, you feel elevated, appreciative and empowered.
So, go ahead a take the time to make a list of the things you are thankful for.

Make a plan
Whenever things aren’t going your way, it’s easy to be stuck going around in circles with worry. So first, you need to clear your mind by getting all your thoughts down on paper. Make a list of options, steps, things to do and people you can ask for help. Don’t worry about whether or not it will work. Just get it all out of your head.
Once you have all your ideas written out, you can prioritize what the best option to start with is and go from there. By making a plan, you feel more in control and become proactive in moving forward instead of staying stuck in a rut.
Strength and growth come only through continuous effort and struggle.
