Don't "get over it." First, accept 100% responsibility for your situation. This is your life. You are the only one who has these experiences. No matter how crummy or better other people have it, you are unique because you are the only person in your situation.
That is why your mind naturally rejects good advice sometimes because it realizes that the good advice may actually not work for you. This is a good thing. So what this means is you can either give up or you can start creating the life you want. There is no in-between. Giving up is equivalent to living in a state of depression or just going through life allowing things to happen to you.
But creating the life you want means being proactive. Take conscious action to improve your life. You know what I think the most important thing about life is? While I respect people who are highly proactive and have accomplished a lot in life, the most important thing I value is improvement. No matter which level you are. If you make that tiniest of improvement, you are a hero in my eyes.
For example, Rosalie Bradford, who is the fattest woman in the history of the world died very recently. While many may have let this news slip by, her story really inspired me. She was so fat it took her husband 1.5 hours just to give her a bath! And you know how she came on to become the person who would lose the most weight ever? It all started by clapping her hands to an exercise video. That's all she could do because she was so large. But she eventually lost 736 pounds. 736 pounds!!!
She may have been fat on the outside, but I see a beautiful person on the inside. That is the power of the human spirit and we have it in each and everyone of us, YOU included. I don't know what you'll do, but I believe that the spirit is always within you and if you can just muster the courage and energy to listen to just a bit of that inner spirit, you are destined for greatness.  |
