The games you play with your mind, the challenges your mind has to confront and every decision you need to make are all things you must learn to manage. Will you let your mind choose a POSITIVE or a NEGATIVE reaction?

It’s a simple choice really. But each decision will require work, hard work actually.

“A negative mind will never give you a positive life.” ― Ziad K. Abdelnour

If you choose to take the POSITIVE side, this requires you to think optimistically and spread joy and happiness around you. I guarantee you, that if you make those around you feel good about themselves and happy, you will always be happy. But don’t get me wrong.. this will require some effort to keep your attitude and mind in the right place. Especially when the day goes south… will you cave and give into being negative, or will you choose to look on the bright side of things?

If you choose to take the NEGATIVE side, this means you won’t be thinking of the positives, but being the critical one. When things get tough, rough and unfair, you won’t look for the positives but accept the negatives. Accepting the negatives diminishes your mentality to look for solutions, it exercises your mind to lower yourself and your ability to comprehend the good things, even in the worst of situations. You can either choose to dwell on it or choose to fight it and find that light of happiness…

I choose POSITIVE.

What will you choose?

Life wouldn’t be what it is if we didn’t have the many roller coasters throughout it. Roller coasters inspire growth, challenge our patience and build our resilience. Through thick and thin we learn to survive, we learn to adapt and learn to take control where we can.

However, like any roller coaster, amongst the ups and downs, the swirls and twirls, new roller coasters have surprises. New ways of throwing us off our game. 

When these moments come – we need to choose how to react. We need to pull ourselves together and react with thought and strategy. We can dive straight in and tackle these moments head on, but with that comes big risk. So choose wisely…

Life is a roller coaster. Ups and downs, swirls and twirls and a whole lot of experience.

You should ask yourself if you are determined?

Determined enough to go where it is you want to go!

At the same time are you willing? Willing enough to accomplish your dreams by yourself, through sheer willpower, dedication, determination, and commitment. These characteristics will have a greater impact on you than if you had all the money in the world. Yes money can buy things, things we can dream of, but money cannot by happiness.

Only you can control happiness and can accomplish your dreams and goals and only you will prove that to yourself and everyone around you!

Further to this, what are you doing about it?

What are you actually doing to make a change, to make a difference, to further yourself daily, to grow yourself daily and to better yourself daily?

What’s important to you? Your morning coffee? Making time to walk your dog? Getting that assignment to your boss on time? Going for a run? We value different things and with value comes different priorities. 

Your values are a testament to your true self because they are what matter most to you when it comes to personal and professional life.

Your values influence that little voice in your head that tells you whether or not to care about something, and how you should prioritize your time. To sum it up, values are the things that you believe are important in the way you live and work.

In most cases, these values are instilled in you from childhood. Whether they be from a cultural perspective, learned through watching your family and their passions. However now in adulthood, you start to realize you’re passionate about some of the same things or you value similar things.

It’s not a bad thing to share core values with those around you, but it can be detrimental to live a life that doesn’t honor those values.

Remember: Your values should aid in creating your best life, and your most authentic self. You make the rules (within reason). Be patient with yourself and dedicate the time to discovering your core values. You’ll be amazed at the things you can accomplish. These can change and reprioritize over time and through experience, so be willing to adapt, but do not change your core for someone or something else. 

Remain you.

When it comes to priority who are you putting first? At the end of the day, it is you vs. the world and unfortunately, the world will take advantage of you if you let it. 

Be proud of who you are and what you have or can do.

You and only you are responsible for your fate. Life is no fun if you spend it hating yourself; this will limit any progress you hope to make. Always look on the bright-side of life.

Instead of spending your time trying to impress the people around you, try to impress yourself first. Work on loving yourself first, understanding what makes you tick, what makes you happy and what you are good at. You will be the only person you will always be spending your time with – so it is better to learn to love yourself sooner than later.

The most important lesson you can teach yourself is how to accept and love yourself for you who you are, no matter what you’ve been through and what you’ve learned. Acceptance makes all the difference in your confidence and self-esteem.

Loving yourself will create an infectious aurora around you, so much that others will follow. But no matter who comes along, just know that no one will love you like you love yourself. Just don’t love yourself so much that you diminish the people around you.

Own yourself, your thoughts and your mind, and there’s nothing anyone can do or say that can take you away from you – Isamar Avery

Fear has such a power, but only if we let it. Too many times and usually before we even notice, we tend to get in our own way. We are victims of our own creation; through fears and limitations that hold us back, or hold us down. 

There are so many circumstances or experiences that can get in the way of our growth which limits our creativity and our lives.

Growth requires space. Actual physical space, as well as space in your schedule. If you think it’s selfish to create time for you—to chase a dream, to process an emotion, to rest and reconnect, you’re not seeing one very important fact! You can’t give to others what you don’t have, and you don’t have what you don’t take the time to give to yourself. Make the things that matter in life; such as self-care, compassion, and authenticity your priorities, and you’ll find you have the time and energy to create the life you visualize.

Any time you start something big or life-changing with labels like “not good enough” or “stupid,” you shut down your growth before you’ve even have begun. Attitude is important! Because how can someone who is stupid or not good enough possibly do anything worthwhile? But you’re not stupid, and your efforts are good enough. You have to let go of the labels and approach your experience with an open mind and heart.

If you’re struggling with this one, hold on to one truth: Each and every person was born pure, whole, and open to growth and learning. We are all the same eggs in a basket. It what you do after you have hatched and set foot into the world.

Never give up on a dream just because of the time it takes. The time will pass anyway… Happiness isn’t just about living a good life; it’s about believing you deserve the good life you’re living. What you put in is what you will get out. However, sometimes this will change based on timing and the context of the environment surrounding the change. Regardless, with your chin held high and a drive to deliver. You should and will always make it there in the end.

Keep in mind that no one in the world has ever gotten successful without a little bit of luck – no one. Sometimes it is about being in the right place at the right time. Knowing the right person at the right time.

I am too positive to be doubtful, too optimistic to be fearful and too determined to be defeated. – Hussein Nishah.

Every day I make sure I laugh. Laughter is a crucial element to any good day. Not only does it help bring happiness to the day, but it can also enlighten the people around you.

Laughter will generate a happiness like no other! So laugh daily! Laugh with your friends, family and loved ones!

It is not how much we have, but how much we enjoy, that makes happiness. – Charles Spurgeon

Every day is wonderful just because it is a new day. It is a new opportunity to enjoy life, to grow and to adventure on. Life will never be perfect, but why don’t you live like it is and you can do this by enjoying the wonders it brings! Laugh a little more each day!

The struggle is always real. At some point, you will struggle and it is as simple as that. But when the struggle comes, this doesn’t mean you should or will be disabled by it or limited.

Struggles are actually good for you, if you embrace them, challenge them and work to build the required strength to overcome them.

Highlights are crucial, but before we get into that… Just take a moment and digest this. You have now completed 30% of the year. 30%.

It’s checkpoint time. Time to review just what you have been doing the past 112 days. Today I have another challenge for you and this one will benefit you daily – only if you abide by it and actually invest your time in applying it to your life.

Imagine if every day we took the time to list out 5 highlights each day and every day. Listing these, you could rank them, or keep them without rank. You could also try do this across the day and check in regularly to reflect on your highlights across the day. Meaning, why not identify highlights from your morning over lunch or similarly you could do the entire day or half the day in the evening over dinner. Whatever way you choose to do it make sure you do it and do 5.

The benefits of doing this, especially doing this daily will help you expand your mind and grow your appetite for happiness, positivity, optimism and also an encouraging heart. You will also learn to appreciate the little things more than you would have ever thought, you will also begin to identify the important things within your life and that you value most, even if it is subconscious.

Highlights are crucial to staying motivated and encouraged and identifying them is just as important.

The fact is, each day will have ups and downs but you can make the most of any day if you are willing to look for the best. If you are struggling to find excitement and happiness through the day, this challenge is perfect for you.

Reflect upon your present blessings — of which every man has many — not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some. ― Charles Dickens
