Expect a positive outcome

Think of all the blessings that first arise as troubles. Consider how many opportunities initially appear in the form of problems.

If you give up the moment trouble arrives, you’ll miss out on the good fortune that it’s disguising. When you back off at the slightest disappointment, you deny yourself the chance to transform it into value.

What if you simply make the decision not to categorize anything as a problem? What if you choose to focus on the positive power of your response rather than on the negative aspects of your situation?

Whatever you may be experiencing, there’s some way to turn it to your advantage. Expect a positive outcome, then set about to fulfill your expectation.

No matter what happens or fails to happen outside your control, you can point your mind and your spirit in any direction you choose. You can push successfully through the challenges and transform difficult situations into positive energy.

As difficult as reality can often become, it’s never a reason to give up on your intended purpose. You have the will, the flexibility and resourcefulness to forge ahead, so put it all to good and meaningful use.

Complicated mess

It’s a highly complex world out there. However, in that complexity you’ll find plenty of opportunities to live with grace, goodness, and fulfillment.

Various single, simple factors do exert their influences. But no one thing is going to cause or solve all your problems all the time.

Living with positive purpose requires navigating through the complexity with persistence, with fortitude. You must be willing and able to pick yourself up and win after repeated defeats.

Quick and easy answers make for powerful promises. Yet almost always they are a lousy strategy.

Set a clear and meaningful goal. Then be willing to work your way through the complicated mess of reality in order to get there.

Much opportunity exists in the complexity of life. Embrace that complexity, understand and appreciate your ability to deal with it, and live the success that is yours to achieve.
