I can build a better me. There have been many times in my life that I have felt frustrated with my life. And in most cases it has been my belief that it has been caused by the people and circumstances around me.
From conversations I have with other people I think this is true of many. We get hooked up in all of what is going on in the world and other people’s lives and for some strange reason we believe this is having a direct effect on our own lives. And in some ways it probably is. But not in the way you might initially think.
The reason all these things are having an effect on us is because we are using them as an excuse for not being happy with our own lives.
The reality is that the only way we can be happy and deal with all these things that are happening in the outside world is for us to build a better me. In other words our happiness and joy about life comes from within us.
How often have you heard the expression – being happy in our own skin.
The reason it is so important is because I am here to tell you that you cannot change things outside of yourself. You can’t change how you friends react to issues in their lives, the negative conversations they want to draw you into. Or how events in the world hit the news bulletins and the feeling of frustration you may experience because you can’t do anything to help.
But what you can do bit by bit is build a better you from the inside. Start each day with the decision to be happy and as challenges come your way as surely they will during your day just repeat those words – I chose to be happy. And just see how they start to impact on you attitude to the people and the world around you.
