Blessed are those that expect nothing, for they shall never be disappointed.
-Alexander Pope
This quote reminds me of Mother Teresa when she walked through the streets of Calcutta. She wasn’t saying “this is awful, there is nothing I can do to help these people”. She was not paralyzed with fear. If she would have thought like this, she would have been unable to help the people that lived their in extreme poverty. The real question is ”Am I thinking positive and see set backs as temporary”. Or do I have a negative way of thinking and see setbacks, helplessness and failure as the norm. Positive thinking is extremely empowering and powerful
Having issues that affecting our everyday life that control us day to day can actually ruin our quality of life on a daily basis. Here are some questions you might want to ask yourself myself. Are things really as hard as I’m making them out to be? Is there more attached to this problem than their really needs to be? Am I just causing myself to be really upset? Is this the time and place to deal with this upsetting issue?
Perhaps what has happened in your life was meant to be. The event happened for a reason and was meant to teach us something or perhaps it can’t really be explained. However, it happened for a reason. This would lead you to have no choice but to accept it and forget it for now. Recognize what is in your life right now in the moment. See this as reality be present and perhaps in the moment answers start coming to you. If you really discipline to work on this a change process takes place in time. We can develop into a more relaxed and calm person.
