you know that feeling...you've lost your drive, if feels like things just keep going wrong, nothing seems to be working out...your frustrated and your hope and heart feel broken. Hope may feel like it took a vacation and forgot to tell you when it's coming back!
Well I'm gonna tell you how to get hope and determination right on your shoulder...everywhere you go, like a parrot that will keep saying: "you're gonna do great things! Don't give up! You're gonna do great things! Don't give up!"
Almost everyday things happen that make me want to give up!
I have some words to feed your mind....
Know that the more you do right, the harder you work, the more you try to do the right thing....the more you will be attacked with feelings of hopelessness, just give up, your wasting your time, no one believes in you, nothing at all seems to be working, so just give up!
NO! Stop right there my precious lil' partner! I get this everyday! I promise. And everyday I must battle in my mind to fight off the negative comments, the hopelessness, the thoughts of depression that always seem to be just waiting to come and camp out on our minds!
Right now say: "No! We (meaning you and your thoughts, even add me in there too if it helps!) are not going down that road. We are going to be stronger for going through all these difficulties. It's the mountains we overcome that make great success stories! We have hope, and ain't nothin' gonna stop me today or tomorrow! I've got dreams to make happen, and not a setback of life or person is going to stop me!"
When you have a desire in your heart, you can move the mountains of life that get put in your path. Faith and hope and some determination will get you through!
When you feel like throwing in the towel....just use that towel to dry off the sweat from your brow and keep on working even harder!
When obstacles come in your way..say "I am a dream-chaser, no obstacle is too large, no mountain is to tall, no ones words are going to stop me, no amount of bad news or frustration is going to hold me back either!"
The more you go after your dreams, the more you are on the path to do what you love, the more you are going to have things thrown in your way to stop you, but it just shows how much you are willing to stay strong and persevere. Also, often times when we are on the RIGHT path, things seem to get harder just to keep us from getting there. The enemy does not want us to be victorious. If we all gave up as soon as something became hard, no one would ever be successful. The greatest people, who've done the most amazing things have had some of the hardest mountains to climb, which in turn makes their stories that much more amazing!
Thomas Edison had over 10,000 different prototypes of the light bulb before it finally was right! If things are going wrong, take heart, you are in the company of the greats! Fred Astaire was told he had no talent, so were The Beatles, and even Elvis was told he was talentless! Shakira was kicked out of the school choir because they thought she sounded like a goat! LOL and just look at where she's at now. Just imagine if she would've given up and decided that they were right, that she just didn't have what it takes to be a great singer.
So if you are feeling down and hopeless, plant those thoughts of hope and determination all day long! Say: "This is just going to give me an even better success story. Those negative thoughts aren't real or the truth. I can do ANYTHING and no one and nothing will stop me!"
That's what I do, when things just keep coming against me, and feel like they're getting worse, and worst. It's not easy...But it does get easier. And faith, determination and just speaking those positive words make it easier and easier every time. Lots of prayer and meditation are just some of the best things you can do to help in your journey.
Trust me... I learned the hard way, and I'm still learning; but this has really really been making a difference in every area of my life and I've seen the same thing happen to many other people.
Huge love and hope.
Now go get those dreams no matter what gets thrown in your way, jump it climb over it, knock it out of your path...and keep on going!
Ain't nothin' gonna keep us down....ohhh no, we got to keep on movin'!
Lots of love, hugs and hope,
Marysinn
