The Only Way Out

… is through.

You NEVER overcome your problems by abandoning your path. You only succeed by seeing it through.

In life it doesn’t matter what you are going through, it only matters that you get yourself through it. Getting through it teaches you about yourself – it gives you a new set of tools to learn how to live your life. And once learned, that set of tools will forever pave the way to a happier and more fulfilling existence for you.

The truth is that you can never hide from your pain. It is always there, but you have a choice as to how you can deal with it. If you succumb to the pain, it will always win, but if you stand up to it, it will never be able to stop you.

Running from your problems NEVER solves them. Trying to avoid the pain only delays the inevitable. The only way to get to the other side is to brave your way through the lesson, the hardship and the pain. It may not be the popular response, but it is the only constructive response. Once you can move beyond the painful experience, that experience is free to shift for you and the sun comes out again.

Sitting out on the grass in the pouring rain only gets you wet. Crying about it will not keep you dry, but if you get up off the grass and run towards shelter, you have half a chance of staying dry. You cannot think your way through your pain, you have to get up and take action in order for things to change. The only way out is through. Are you ready to go through it all to get to the other side? Your ability to heal is contingent on it.

When Bad Things Happen

… your work is to make your life BETTER because of it.

End of story.

In life you always have a choice. A choice to either fall into the victimhood of the “bad” situation or you can muster up the energy to pick yourself up and transform the “bad” into something even better.

The choice to either let the situation destroy you or strengthen you is always yours. How you look at a situation determines its power over you. And how you respond to a situation determines the quality of your next life experience.

All bad experiences only happen to bring you to a better and higher place. The difficult situations are the real gifts – that’s where the real learning/growing takes place. The happier situations are just the rewards, there is no real growth during those periods.

When you can learn to pick yourself up after every fall, dust yourself off and keep going – the best way you know how – the universe always responds in kind and the rewards are tenfold. When you work towards your highest outcome, the universe will work with you to help you achieve that outcome. But when you slump into the lower outcome, it will let you sit there alone in your misery.

Do you want to rise up and live your best life? Keep searching for the higher place. Reframe all situations so that your life can be on the up-and-up. You will be given every assistance along the way as long as you are walking the higher side of your path.

When bad things happen, it is your job to make things better for yourself – any way possible. When you can get into the habit of becoming better for having had those experiences, the universe will bring you everything you desire. The choice is always yours.
