Think of every ordeal as an educational experience
1. What it is.
Suffering only occurs when we resist. If you can affect an aspect, take action. You must accept and let go when the situation is certainly beyond your control.2. It’s only a problem if you think it’s a problem.
At times, we are our own worst enemy. Instead of breeding negative thoughts and emotions, think of every ordeal as an educational experience.3. Start within yourself.
Your inner being reflects your outer world. We initially need to transform ourselves first to change our circumstances.
4. There are no failures, only learning opportunities.
Achievers have “failed” over and over. But instead of considering these as letdowns, they did better next time around.5. Better opportunities are coming
In hindsight, you will be able to see why some prospects did not work out.6. Appreciate the present.
Every moment is precious and will never come again. Even those that didn’t seem particularly happy can be looked upon as a nostalgic memory someday.7. Let go of desire.
Most covet a goal when they don’t get it. Their emotions plummet into negativity. Practice a “detached mind”: When you have an aim, be happy whether you achieve it or not.8. Understand and be grateful for your fears.
Fear can be a great teacher. Overcoming them just needs practice. It can likewise make you feel victorious.
