Have you ever felt emotionally, physically, or mentally vulnerable or at risk for sabotage? Has your day or overall mood ever suffered because of something someone else said or did? Maybe your outlook changed when you received some devastating news, or things didn’t go as planned? Whatever the situation, your mindset is your responsibility and priority.
How we internalize outside influences, overcome situations we cannot change, and protect ourselves from ongoing, relentless negativity is a role we must OWN. Otherwise, we become targets and add credibility to the saying “misery loves company.”
We all face heartache, deal with disappointments, carry some baggage, and find ourselves on the receiving end of experiences that are just NOT FAIR. Still, our mindsets, attitudes, and perceptions are our own, and we choose whether we want to be an excuse or an example. Do we allow our past or present circumstances to become a crux, or do we use them to catapult us forward? The difference between the two is our mindset!
