Reasons Why We CAN

Ever have a moment, day, week or even year when it seems as if things just keep going wrong?  

[Yes, I know I spoke about this yesterday... but stick with me; I promise this is going somewhere new.]

...You can't seem to dig yourself out of the hole that life has seem to have dumped you in.  You vent about it, you might even complain about it; but you can't see a foreseeable way out because everything you do results in perceived failure.  I mean, why should you even bother?!  

Well, break out the bubbly because you are now the host, guest and planner of your very own personal pity party.  Again, don't get me wrong; as I've hosted 1, 2 or 9,999,999 in my day and I suspect that I haven't seen my last shindig quite yet.  Yet I mention this not simply to point out a negative; but to shine a little light on how we can shift this way of thought into something that is more productive.

Starting with myself, I vow to try and accept suggestions with gratitude.  I will do my best not to shoot down what others say because I recognize that they are simply attempting to help me by offering possible solutions.  I will take pause to remind myself that although every suggestion may not be a viable means of resolution, it is these same suggestions that can serve as a springboard to what will work for me or my situation.  It is in these very moments that I now choose to gain insight and see the potential to move my steps in the right direction.  

We are in a day and age when dismissal is the easiest form of self gratification as it relates to keeping ourselves in the rut we've become comfortable in living.  So today is as good a day as any to reframe our thought process so that instead of focusing on the reasons why something can't work for us, we start focusing on the Reasons Why We Can.  

*Positivity is more than a word; it is a way of being.  The choice is yours.*
