The good news is you’re in control, the bad news is… you’re in control. Your thoughts, perceptions, and intentions are a choice that have the power to color the outcome of whatever situation you find yourself in. If you’re fearful and conditioned with a victim mindset, you will be much more likely to find negativity in your life. Whereas, if you’re grateful, open and willing to learn from all the experiences you encounter, you will be much more likely to come across things that provide positive sensations. 

It’s a feedback mechanism; what you put out, is what you’re going to get back. Think of it as what you appreciate, appreciates. Seeing your life through a negative lens will never serve to better your situation as it will only attract things to reinforce that view. On the other hand, accepting what comes along with gratitude, will bring more things you can be grateful for. 

As you progress through this life, it is important to understand that we are in control. We hold the power to create the life we want. Shifting the perspective away from what is happening to you, and instead, to what is happening for you can make all the difference in the world.
