Unleash your Power: Life’s Happening for You, Not to You!

Life can be tough. It gets harder when we feel like things are happening to us instead of for us. This mindset denies us the power and control that we truly have over our lives. The good news is that once you begin changing this perspective, it becomes easier to tap into your potential.

Here’s how:

Find Joy in Negative Situations

It might sound a bit cliche but there really is something positive in every experience we go through- even those times where everything seems bleak”. It’s all about what you choose to focus on. When facing negative situations take time to pause and find one thing that makes you happy.

Turn the Negatives Around

Looking on the brighter side doesn’t mean ignoring reality or ignoring emotions; it just means flipping them upside down so they don’t weigh as much “When life gives you lemons make lemonade,” or better yet, “when life gives you champagne… it may not help with everyone problem…but at least it has bubbles!”

Choose Your Attitude

What kind of mood do you want today? A defeatist grumpy outlook or an invincible woke-dreamer view? It’s up to YOU! Our attitudes shape our worlds around us – which means if we aren’t careful then other people will dictate why way think or feel altogether.

Define and Follow Passion Projects

Passionate projects are often referred to as “passion projects” – but let’s be honest…not all passions pay bills initially.” These hobbies could become future income streams, but until then they should fulfill personal happiness inside because most likely during entrepreneurship journey/marathon walking/songwriting cupcake baking-till-sleeping gig–you’ll spend many long hours in its pursuit.

Discover Hobbies and Work on Them

Happiness sparks productivity, which ignites success. That’s why it is important to prioritize joy outside of work; whether you choose exercise or cooking, karaoke or crocheting. Connect with like-minded people through your passion, watch the magic unfold

Taking Your Passion Online

Remind thy’self “I am not ALOME! (sp?) Here are some platforms for inspiration:

Support System

You may have heard this before but everyone needs someone – even the most solitary-esque spartan badass extremist who roams alone deep in nature reserves ultimately needs some sort of human connection. Building a network of support can help fight against the feeling that “life is happening to us.”
