Friend - Everything will be ok

Transcript

Things haven't been going your way, I know, I know. Things haven't been going your way at all for a long time now and it can seem like you aren't having success or you aren't moving forward in life and in every aspect of it but the reality is that you're okay. It is okay.

You've been having quite a bit of a struggle with yourself and that is something that everybody struggles with but you, you keep blaming yourself. You keep thinking that you're putting yourself out of commission, out of doing things that you know you can do or that you should be doing and that's okay but the blaming has to stop. It won't get you anywhere.

You see, that blaming is a coping mechanism for you to just understand that there is something that you can control and the reality is that you can control many things. However, there are many more things that you cannot control. You see, circumstances and the things, the obstacles that life throws at you, that it sets up for you to try to pass them, those things you cannot control.

The only thing you can control is yourself. Always. You can't control anybody else.

You can't control any environment. Hell, you can't even control the oven sometimes and that's okay but you, you can control everything about how you react to the world, to the environment, to other people. You can control all of that because the reality is that winning comes down to you.

You have every single thing working for you to win within yourself. All these bad things that happen, all these bad things that are obstructing you, they're momentary. Listen to that again and realize this.

It is momentary. And there are some things that stick around for life but unfortunately, even though this might seem very pessimistic, we end too. We don't live forever.

And death, we have to get to understand that it is a comfort knowing that life is precious because of this short amount of time that we have. It gives beauty to every year, every week, every day of your life. Every moment that you are here is magical.

It is magical. Every instance is a cause and opportunity for celebration. These little things are the things that heal and give nurturing to your soul.

The fact that you can enjoy a warm cup of coffee, the fact that you can just go outside in the morning and see the Sun rise and see how beautiful those colors mix together like a harmonious dawn every day. Realize these grateful things and they will comfort you into happiness. Money, wealth, all of these things, they are good.

They are good. Materials, all of that, it's good. However, they are not the only thing required for pure happiness.

Pure happiness is all around us. All we have to do is take the moment to see things and enjoy them. We have to make that decision to enjoy them because they will not enjoy themselves and they will not tell us to enjoy them.

We have to open up our minds, open up our eyes and see them for what they are and take them for that. If you see a little bird flying while you're driving, be grateful of that little bird. Be grateful of knowing that you noticed it.

Something so minuscule but you noticed it. The comfort in knowing that you are aware of the beauty that surrounds you is grandoise. It is magnificent and only you have the power to realize this and to make sure that you are truly, truly living in happiness because you decide to do so.

There will always be obstacles. There will always be them. So why not decide to say, hey those obstacles, they they're gonna go away and I don't have to suffer through them.

They've already taken enough of my energy, enough of my time. I will not grant them that power of living in my head when that is the one thing that I can control. When that is the one thing, the one place where I have complete control and power.

I won't let it. I won't let it steal that from me, take that away from me. It doesn't deserve any more of my time at all.

It doesn't at all. And that's okay. It's okay to realize that and to take that back for yourself.

It is completely fine. It is actually celebrated. It should be and it should be taught to everyone because that power of knowing that you have complete control of yourself and the decisions that you make holding yourself accountable for these things will truly bless your soul and nurture it and it will give you much better happiness in the future as soon as you decide to start and continue on in this way.

So know this and remember that you are doing great and it's one day at a time, one day at a time, one moment at a time. The stress of the future and the stress of the past do not exist. The only thing that exists is right now.

And that is it.
