So we can't always change things in life. We can, however change the way we think about them. Sometimes nothing needs to be changed at all. Sometimes all it takes is an alteration of your way of thinking, your attitude, your processing. In any sense, I've learned to look at the big picture. And if that doesn't do it for you, look at the even bigger picture. Think to yourself: Why am I here in the first place? What led me to this point in time? Retrace your steps, think way way back and remember what it is about this particular place or this particular thing that makes your life worth it. It's not always easy to do this. In fact sometimes it feels like the hole you dug yourself into is too far deep for you to touch the surface again. But remember, there was some reason, some motivator that got you going. It's just a matter of jogging those memories and those emotions you had from the very beginning. It's about juggling that balance of fear and that passion. I find fear to be a deceiving emotion in most senses. Many people see it as a bad thing. But fear means we're feeling. It means we've been blessed with things we don't ever want to lose. Once we stop feeling fear, that's really something to worry about.
