You guys…LIFE HAPPENS. Constantly. It’s not that “bad things” happen to you, it’s how you RECEIVE them.  I lived with someone who played “the victim” for a big portion of my life and I will tell you that’s one of the most terrible personality traits you can possibly own. Straight up. I’m not trying to “attack” anyone or be harsh but just telling you the truth. Why? Because I want you to STOP IT. Don’t be a victim. Please. <3 It’s just gross.

What happens when you have the attitude that life is happening TO YOU vs FOR YOU? You fail to learn from experiences. You don’t look for solutions. The silver lining simply does not exist. You lend yourself to depression, sadness and laziness. It becomes a downward spiral of complaining, negativity and it’s UNATTRACTIVE. When I say that, I don’t even mean to others (which it is) but mostly to your own ego. Your subconscious will literally start to tell you you’re worthless, a terrible person and it’s your fault. You will actually be ruining your own life. all while you are blaming things that are simply not in your control…

What IS in your control? YOUR MINDSET and how you are thinking. Did you know your mind is a tool? It can either work for you or against you and most likely, you have been programmed WRONG. So, time to give it a tune up! DAILY. Here are some tips if you suffer from this way of living:

1. Have an attitude of gratitude. Take time every day to make a list of things you are grateful for.
2. Take 5 min in the morning and night to VISUALIZE your future life. The life you want and are working for.
3. Create a vision board.
4. Look for the silver lining and LESSONS when things don’t go your way. Find the message the universe is sending you.
5. GET EXCITED! Because at the end of every storm is a clear blue sky and it’s always better on the other side!
