How do you see things?

August 9, 2019 11:29am CST
Once I was told, when you say you can't, then you can't. When you say you can, then you can. Life is always a matter of perspective. Whatever you think. How you view things, it all depends on you. If you will allow the negativities to drag you down, then you'll fail. But if you look at those negativities and trials and failures as a stepping stone---a motivation, then you will likely to succeed in life. Plus. Trust HIM. Trust the Process.

Yes, how true that is. We had a visiting Circuit Overseeing visiting our Congregation a few years ago. He delivered a Bible based talk entitled - 'The Problem Is Not The Problem.' It was such an interesting theme. As he went on with his talk, we learned that the problem is not the problem, the problem is how you handle the problem. Now, true there are things that are very overwhelming but for the most part, the smaller issues in life don't really have to be issues at all.

@Ghosthere2 Yes they can. That's why it is so important to take as much control of the situation as you can.

@betlynfrnds I also remembered. You know the 90/10 principle? you only control 10 percent in this life. and that's yourself. on the 90 percent, you don't have any control. the traffic, the other people. so on the 10% you control. on the 90%, you influence. well, that's what my uncle always say :)

If a change needs to be made we are the only ones who can do it.

A positive attitude is what takes us to go on with life. You see? With negativities in our mind, we tend to fail.

I agree on having a positive attitude. A “can do” attitude goes a long way for sure.

It sure can. It's great to have friends to remind you when you can't seem to find a positive outcome.

Coz "can't do" people can never get anywhere near success.

I agree with you. Putting our focus on the positives rather than on the negatives produces a lot of success.

Yes. Because we attract whatever we think and say. :)

My mom used to say, "why don't you stand on your head and think about it awhile." It take me about looking at things from all angles. If we don't ever change our mind we have learned nothing (says me!)

@jacecstr1995 I think so too. I like things that are logical.

It's good to view things at all angles. Cause you could weigh it all.
