There are certain things in my life over the past five years that I could have used as an excuse for failing at whatever I chose to do...whether it was my career, marriage or my own company.
But I chose (and, I still choose) not to.
Why?
Well...I look at being positive as a challenge. I try to see the 'reason' or lesson behind everything that happens to me.
Yes - even the truly awful things.
To be honest...it's the only way I can be, because otherwise if I sat down for a weekend and just dwelled on how 'unlucky' I have been over the last few years...I would probably be back on anti-depressants.
Yep...I was on them...for two months. Until, that is...I realized that it wasn't my situation that was making me depressed, it was the fact that I never really got around to doing anything about it!
So one day I stopped taking them. That was less than 21 months ago...and, from that day...my entire attitude to life has changed.
I now REFUSE to accept that I am 'unlucky'.
I now REFUSE to accept that I will be limited by my 'talents' (or lack of)
I now REFUSE to take for granted how much more I have (and have had) than a lot of people.
Despite everything...I am not going to give in. I'm going to fight my conditioning that tells me to blame everyone else except myself.
So...what about YOU?
