Just when you think life seems out of control,
sometimes things actually get worse.
You must keep in mind that even though things around you
seem out of control and hopeless that the reality of the
situation is that you as a person are not!
There are things in your life that happen that are out
of your hand' s. During this time though you have to
remember that even though your life seems chaotic and
confusing there are certain things you do have the power
to change.
Things You'll Need:
* time
* patience
* wisdom
* determination
The first thing is that you have the capacity to change your mindset!
Your mindset can be your worst enemy or your best advocate
but you have to be the one to choose. This is not something that you may
have to choose just one time either ...
every single day you have to get up with determination in your heart!
There are better things in store for you.
You have the capacity to change your attitude!
Realize that this is not happening to destroy you as an individual.
There may have been circumstances that have played out in your life
that may have been intended to hurt or destroy you.
However, you will have the victory over these things and those people.
Thirdly, you have the capacity to keep your health in check!
Life can get depressing and things get left go along with unpaid bills...
do not let this be your health. Take a few minutes every day to go for
a walk, run, and make yourself something healthy to eat.
It is all to easy to turn to comfort food to help you somehow "cope"
with the loss. Turn to what can actually help you long term in your
overall vitality: which is... better eating, more exercise, embrace
the people in your life to help you and do this together.
Fourth step to remember is that you have the capacity to still be
there for your family! In spite of your situation do not check out on
your wife, husband, or children. There are incredibly trying times
that can destroy your personal relationships.
Stress, tension, and utter frustrations can make you an entirely
different human being to those living with you.
Take control of your actions and words and respect each others
boundaries and feelings. You can say whatever you want to if you want to
live a boundary less life and cause irreversible damage to those you
live with. If you want to maintain a peaceful and nurturing home than
it is time to figure out how to control your mouth, opinions, and
brashness.
And lastly, you have the capacity to CHANGE the CIRCUMSTANCE!
You have found yourself in the middle of a crisis, whether it be
financial, relational, or physical. All of these things you may never
have expected or thought could happen to you!
The wonderful news is this ... you still have breath in your lungs!
You also have a mind that God gave you to use and do something with
besides hold your ears separate from one another!
Use your mind to think about what your to do and pray very hard that
you have wisdom.
"Finally ... whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is just,
whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever things are of a good report,
if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy-meditate on these things"
