What happens to you in life is not designed to bring you down, it is shaping you into the person you are today. Everything, every challenge, difficulty, set back, obstacle or disappointment is really only another stepping stone going upward.
Always make sure to ask yourself what is the positive learning behind what is happening to you. I often compare these obstacles to avocados. Visualize the avocado as the difficulty that you are facing. There is a positive learning that is in fact, the whole reason why this is happening, which is represented by the nice green delicious flesh. Unfortunately, there is a negative emotion that comes with it, inside the positive learning, which is like the avocado pit. In order to get rid of the pit, you must eat the flesh. You have to acknowledge the positive learning that is making you grow. If you are just complaining and feeling sorry for yourself, you are not trying to see what can be great about this. How can this experience serve you? What have you learned? Once you have acknowledge and placed the positive learning in that special place that you have for all your lessons, only then, will the negative emotion disappear.
