When life becomes difficult, it is hard to imagine what I had been thinking to create such an unfortunate mess. No longer do I immediately ask, "Why me?"
I ask, "What is the lesson?" It is helpful to acknowledge all of the negativity I had unknowingly unleashed in my head. By not remaining awake, I sabotage my own desires.
It is helpful for me to discern what good could come of my mess. I look for the door that is now open as a corrective option. It is difficult to believe goodness rises out of debris, but I know this to be true, even if just in hindsight.
My worst enemy is the tape in my head criticizing, minimizing, and twisting perceptions. Encouraging words of a mentor or supportive resources does not turn the tape off, but new phrases can be recorded over the old. I remain determined to embrace whatever comes, knowing my attitude will be my guide.
