Yesterday I answered the day’s question in a way that I normally wouldn’t.. Lately, I have let this place become a controlling factor of the way I am allowing it to make me feel, and then becoming reactionary from the oppression they are exerting. This is going about the pressure all wrong. I know that in my opinion God is in control of all things. It may be I am being tested, it may be something greater I am being prepared for that I need to create greater strength in myself to endure. I am not sure nor can I ever be sure as nobody can truly tell the future. But one thing I know I try to do my best at everyday is to live in the here and the now. Embracing the present is the only true way that one can truly create and endure to my full potential and when I allow certain people who work against me, or forces of negativity that feel they are trying to oppress me I have to remember that those feelings are only what I truly am allowing myself to feel… Because no matter what they cannot control how I react or feel to any certain situation or imposition over my own will that is forced.
So, in answering the question today. To transform my mindset so that every task I attack is a meaningful step toward my larger goal, starts with making every step I take throughout the day relative toward the goals that I see are going to be relevant in the future that I want to create for myself. I cannot let news about my medical conditions, negative news from my counselors during team (like what happened today) dictate how I let these problems affect my goals and plans for my future. This is much easier said in words then achieved in practice, but just as anything else, it just takes the first few steps in execution before things become routine, and routines become habit and habit becomes hobby and so forth. I am going to keep all of the negative forces in my life in check by leaning more on and using all of the tools I have learned and the support of my family and network of people that I know care about me. Have a great day, God Bless you all.
