Even if everything goes “wrong”, even if it feels like we have no more moves and no energy left, we still possess the power of perception. No matter what, it is always within our control to adjust the way we view our lives.

We must master this power for good. We must choose to favour the positive over the negative. The urge to dwell on what is not right can be tempting at times, but we must resist this pull so our minds can be clear to recognise all that is right.

As cliched as it sounds, everything happens for a reason. When you whinge about the bad things and focus on what should’ve happened and how unfair it is and who’s fault it is, you are missing the point. There is always a message. Instead of choosing to be a victim choose to be a student. Look at your life experiences with a sense of curiosity and possibility. Find a positive reason for everything that happens. If you can’t find a reason, accept that it has happened and it is over now, and one day the reason will become clear.

Every experience is a gift and a lesson. Have faith in your journey and stay true to yourself by allowing your eyes to follow your heart.
