I like to think I’m a glass half-full kind of girl but sometimes when I tap deep into my thoughts, I realize my glass might be half-full but my hope is half-empty.

There are times when every one of us feels a sense of lost hope or better yet defeat despite our best efforts. Those times come when change is right around the corner; all the timing is exactly right. Change always happens whether we like it or not and whether we want it or not. Expecting change when you repeat the same things the same way day-in and day-out will only lead to disappointment and frustration eventually leading to lost hope and self-defeat. Expecting that change will happen eventually, accepting it and learning to go with the flow will bring you to being a more positive and hopeful person. While you go with the flow take time to tap deep inside your subconscious to find your authentic self. You can do this easily through daily meditation; all it takes is 5-20 minutes of quiet consciousness a day.

If you are stuck and don’t know the path to a more positive living and being, go inside, hear what your ‘essential self’ is telling you, write it down if it helps. Make a list of all the things your ‘essential self’ wants and decide how to get it. [essential self reacts from the gut feelings, the social self reacts to what society expects].

Your mindset can lead you to your deepest desires, goals and achievements or it can lead you to disappointment and defeat. Your mindset can lead you to the open door or the closed-door; you decide which you would prefer to get through then turn your mindset to your chosen path.

Whether you can or can’t it’s up to you. Whether you will or won’t it’s up to you.
