"For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin — real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be got through first, some unfinished business, time
still to be served, a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life." — Fr. Alfred D'Souza
If you wait for life to start or wait to be happy, based on some pre-defined event, it will NEVER, EVER happen. Life is continually changing, fluctuating from good to bad and back to good again, from multiple problems at the same time to everything flowing relatively smoothly. Surviving and actually enjoying life — regardless of problems, difficulties, or issues — simply requires shifting your perspective from time to time to appreciate a different view.
Stop wasting your time and energy feeling victimized or persecuted. Accept that problems beyond your control are always going to happen — no matter what you do or don't do! Stop blaming yourself or anyone else. Focus on solutions. Tap into your strength and personal power by fine-tuning your attitude and perspective. Learn from your mistakes and learn how to improve your relationship with your world.
"Every lesson is a widening and deepening of consciousness. It is a stretching of the mind beyond its conceptual limits and a stretching of the heart beyond its emotional boundaries. It is a bringing of unconscious material into consciousness, a healing of past wounds, and a discovery of new faith and trust." — Paul Ferrini
