You Will Always Be Experiencing Bad Times, If You Let Them Be Bad To You

So often I have hear people in conversation say “I really thought after X incident my life would have been simpler”

“I had hoped that after the struggles of X, I would of had at least a few months to rest but now this X things is happening to me again”

I reckon many of you have heard people saying these things, I bet you have at one point in your lives thought or said a similar sentiment as well. I am no different.

What has made me different is my ability to identify that this is how I was acting and make changes to take more of a charge in my thought processes and subsequent actions rather than be a passive bystander to my thoughts and whims.

Now that I have seen this side of myself, I find myself constantly noticing people spiralling in a similar direction to how I used to be and who I am continually trying to keep at bay from returning.

A person who lets life and its negatives happen to them rather than taking actions to create my life direction.

The ways that I approached this mindset shift and how I continually grapple with keeping this inner mindset demon is what I want to share with you.
