Miserable or Strong?

“We either make ourselves miserable or we make ourselves strong. The amount of work is the same.”

— Carlos Castaneda, author

The work we put into making ourselves miserable is the same amount of work to make us stronger and happier! So why don’t more people focus on getting stronger?

There just seem to be more people that complain and have negative energy all around us. That negative energy is CATCHY! Watch out! When you are around negative people they just suck the life right out of you. They bring you down with them and that’s why it’s so easy to be miserable. Get around people that lift you up, that feel good to be around, that are positive.

We all choose our emotions. We all choose how we react to everything that happens. How are you reacting to life, whether you are going through some tough times right now, just came out of tough times or will soon be going through tough times, how you react and feel about the situation are up to you.

Take responsibility for your feelings and emotions. Realize nothing has meaning until we assign a meaning to, knowing this are there things in your life that you can reassign meaning to so that you win, so that it doesn’t make you miserable.
