There may or may not be proof that sending Love out into the world makes a difference, but we should do it anyway.

The same goes for wishing well for an individual, but we should do it anyway.

There is proof that helping others – doing a good deed such as helping an elderly person to cross the street- releases dopamine into our systems which result in “feeling good.” As well as the person receiving the good deed, giving the good deed as well as onlookers. So, we should do that.

It’s always served me well and have never regretted doing any of those things. I have regretted bad behavior on my part. But nevertheless, I can choose to begin again.

And I will.

We can set appropriate expectations – and thus being prepared the most -by embracing – and do I dare say – Loving the challenges when they come our way. Oops. Just did.

And yes, we can. After all, it’s a decision. Let’s make it our own and move on.

Life – our view of life anyway – is just a perspective. We get to choose which one works for us. But, the one’s that set us up for success are the most constructive.

There are reasons why some of us are more “successful” in certain areas of our lives than others. But let’s not kid ourselves and think it’s because of chance or luck. We are where we are because of the choices we have made. Period. After all, we are 100% responsible for our own lives.

So, let’s choose to Love the challenges that lie before us and watch how that colors the way we handle them. We may just be surprised at the results.

The quicker we come to understand the world is not perfect – and never will be – the better.

Not because we’re giving up and calling it quits, but because we’re now prepared for what’s next.

What is next? Anything.

That doesn’t mean we should expect the worst, but it’s possible.

Being in denial isn’t a solution. We don’t go camping with the idea that if I say it’s not going to rain it won’t. You’ll be unprepared, wet and miserable.

The idea is that we understand what we’re in for and we’re ready to pivot when necessary.

And most importantly, we’ve been through rough patches before, so we can certainly get through the next one.

We just need to keep the faith.

We can’t always make the right decision.

This is a fact and that’s okay. There are many factors in determining which direction we go and we may or may not have as much information at decision time as we want. But, that’s life.

More important than making the correct decision, is to commit to the one we’ve made and ride it out to the bitter end. What we learn during that process is much more valuable than our judgement that’s on the nose.

More than likely, our world will not fall apart because of one wrong decision, but our indecisiveness can hurt us in the long run.

Assess the situation taking into account all the information we have at the time and move on. Run with it!

We can do this.
