The things people say can get to you sometimes, and sometimes they can get to you really, really heavily. When you open yourself up for the daggers and hateful things that other people throw your way, then you really are kind of setting yourself up for a more challenging life, and that’s just not fair to yourself.
When did they start putting motivational parking meters around the town? Sounds like a neat idea, but I’m not sure I like paying for happiness.
If you can start today building your positive beliefs, you can see that your life and everything in it will love you back. Self-esteem and overall happiness is the important thing here. Figuring out these four ways to make your life more meaningful and positive will set your beliefs up for real success.
1. You Are Worth A Lot
I don’t know if you’ve realized this or you know this, but you didn’t just grow up from a monkey. I’m not here to debate evolution or any of that, or the supposed science behind it, but I’m here to tell you your parents were not monkeys. Your parents were people who loved you, that decided to come together and share this wonderful gift that God gave them to participate in your creation.
God, the infinite creator of everything in existence, specifically made you and put you here to do something bigger than to just mope around and be silly. If you can focus totally on the fact that you are worth so much that God created you and chose to put you here so that you could be happy and live, then you’ll really begin to see that the little things out there don’t matter.
2. You Can Do Anything
I understand if you didn’t get great grades in science in high school. That doesn’t matter. The point is, if you wanted to get an A, you could have studied two weeks in advance and you could’ve got with people that knew better, and you could have worked with the teacher on what you missed to do better next time.
You could have done a lot more, but, for whatever reason, it didn’t happen. No matter what you want to get done in life, you can do some level of it or you can work with someone else who can help you get towards that goal. Everything is possible if you really want it done.
3. You Have Another Chance
Unless you’re dead, you always have another chance to do something. No mistake is every final unless it takes your life away. Use this as positive reinforcement the next time you go about something. Failures are not failures if you see them as opportunities to learn, grow, and do better next time.
4. You’re Just Experimenting
Live life as if you’re a scientist or an investigator. See the clues that lead you to an ultimate level of learning that benefits your life in everything that you do. A failure’s not a failure if you learn something from it.
A mistake is not a mistake if you take something away from it that helps change the world. When you can see life for the actual stuff you get out of it, as opposed to your perception of the results that other people see, then you’re able to start getting more value of everything that you do.
Live Always Loves You Back
It’s time to build up these positive beliefs in your system so that life will love back and you’ll enjoy much more of everything that you do. Realize that you’re worth a lot, that you can do anything, that you always have another chance, and that everything you do is just experimenting. Keep these things in mind and nothing can hold you down.
