Be The Best You Can With What You Have From Where You Are Now!

This can’t be it, surely? Where you are now can’t be the place from where you'll get you to where and what you want in life …or can it?

Well actually, where you are is right for you. You’re where you are now because it’s where you put yourself based on choices you made in your past. Just because you may feel like the path you’re on feels more like a bumpy dirt track, that doesn’t mean that it can’t lead you to somewhere else. You just have to be willing to do something to change it.

Here’s one thing you can do. First of all spend 5 to 10 minutes a day reminding yourself of where you’d like to end up, your dream life, but just 5 to 10 minutes, that’s all. Then spend the rest of each day really being your best self, look for ways to make your day fun and become so preoccupied with making the best of your situation that you stop paying attention to what’s wrong with it. This is what I mean by being the best you can with what you have from where you are.

In doing this, you will distract yourself to a point where, before you know it, your bumpy dirt track will switch to a path of sheer happiness and you’ll be left wondering how and when the transformation took place.

"When Life Gives You Lemons, Make Lemonade"

Did you wake up today wishing your life was different?

Well today is when you start to move towards that different life and turn the lemons in your life into lemonade! You might think you don’t have it all but if you stop for a moment and took in all the things that make you happy right now, you’ll probably find you already have a lot to smile about.

Wherever you are in your life you can still start to take something from it now regardless of how close or far away your dream life may appear to be. Whatever path you’re on, despite its appearances, it can still lead you to where you’d rather be. It’s just that right now, life is trying to teach you something along the way so that when you finally get to that dream destination, you can really enjoy it in all its glory.

Start to focus on the small things that make you happy, think of a time when you laughed out loud and re-live the feeling it gave you. By getting yourself into a better frame of mind, everything else becomes easier to cope with.

So squeeze out some happiness despite the lemons in your life. Do something kind for yourself and tell yourself everything is going to be alright because in the end, it usually is.
