Rule #10 10/24/15

Take Responsibility for your problems.

The words you speak and thoughts you keep may not be the cause all of your problems, but they can cause a lot of them and they should be given a great deal of consideration when you are searching for clarity and understanding to all that you encounter in life.

We all have challenges, but we have the power to make them better or worse by the way we choose to speak and think about them. How we choose to perceive them. Look to the good in everything, even if it’s just a drop of goodness amidst a sea of chaos, look to that drop and focus solely on that. The impact our thoughts and words have on our circumstances are truly profound. When we choose to believe that our issues are someone else’s fault, we inadvertently place the power of resolution in that someone else’s hands, leaving us feeling helpless. When we take responsibility of all aspects of our life, we empower ourselves to create viable solutions.

Problems will arise, there is no avoiding this, but I want to encourage you to take some time and think about how you daily perceive the things that occur. We always have the choice to embrace our lives with faith or with defeat. Stay encouraged. ~Will “Story” Rivera
