Oh the Power of...yourself!

When we seek outside support, motivation, or encouragement we get an array of advice. From simple cliches like "everything happens for a reason" or your wise grandmother telling you to recite a prayer- at times it's just hard to live strong and move on. We want to feel sorry for ourselves and instead of applying outside advice to our mental wounds, we want to self-deteriorate. In times like this we can eat the pain away, become negative, complain, and become someone no one wants to be around. For it's not a simple life we lead- its hard, and sometimes it hits us like a train out of the dark forest. Other times, we let it slowly poke us day after day. Pain that affects our emotions occurs within, and thats where it can also be fixed.

The power of the mind can hurt us, but more so, it can help us get through whatever we are facing oh so negatively. If you can't support yourself mentally then who wants to be a teammate for life with you? Self-support is the best support. Train your mind for positivity all of the time because like a simply cliche reads "you only live once" and no one wants to regret time wasted not supporting yourself. Self support as I call it, or developing a positive mindset, is like growing a healthy confidence tree inside your brain and also your heart. You have the right to choose how you treat others, but remember you can also choose how to develop yourself, most importantly your thoughts and actions. I find that those who think and act with good intention a little over half the time of their day are more enjoyable to be around, probably sleep better at night, and will go further in life. There are many aspects of life that take natural courses. Time passes and kids grow up, school is over, your company plateaus, and the weather changes. However, how you respond to all of the aspects out of your control is all up to you. For we are one person, with one mind, one heart, and one life. Why not self-support yourself in the best possible way?

No one like negative Nancy all of the time, only sometimes to fuel a joke. Don't fuel your own mind and heart with useless negative ideas and thoughts. Just because life can hurt sometimes like being hit by a train, doesn't mean let the train hit you everyday. Practice self-support. If you don't want to help yourself become great to be around, who is going to? Seeking outside advice is only helpful for so long before you have to look in the mirror see that what is going help you the most is the mind and heart of the beautiful person staring right back at you.

Self-support- training of the mind and the heart to create the best path for you.
