Learning to Change Your Mindset

Came across the below and thought it would be great to share with you!

In the place you are at now, the world is a sad Gray color. With no cherishable life and no reason to stop and admire the world around you. You have stopped looking for that greener pasture, and have cooped yourself up into a world that keeps you here.

Did you know you can change that?

The greener pasture is now visible in the distance.

Did you know that the gray world can suddenly change into the bright beautiful world, if only you would choose to believe it existed?

Can you see it happening?

You have to believe in it. If you don't see it, if you can't feel it, then you have to understand that you are making the decision not to see it. There are no brain chemicals that are blocking your view. There is no one near you threatening you if you choose to believe. There is not a thing stopping you from changing your mindset, except you.

Too many people want to believe that it is not their fault that relationships have gone bad, or that they are overweight, that they have control issues or that they have substance abuse problems. They don't want to believe that it is their fault, because that would make them feel guilty. Even worse, it would make them feel wrong. It would make them feel as though they should have done something different and that there is no one else to blame.

There are three major facts that I need you to understand, and they will be the seeds that start to grow in you, and build the greener pasture.

1. You are responsible for everything you do or don't do in your life. Even if a person holds a weapon to your head, you still make the choices.

2. You are the only one in control of your emotions. No one else can 'make' you mad or sad or happy. Yes there are triggers, but YOU make the CHOICE to stay in that emotion. If you assign the outcome of your emotional status to other people, you will never be happy! Realize that you control your emotions and you will start to see the path.

3. If you condemn yourself for every mistake you make, you will stop yourself from growing. Every human being makes mistakes; they all have times of failure and rejection. You are not the only person in the whole world that has made your mistakes, and it is much better to learn from the mistakes, and to try again, than to sit and dwell on them, and keep yourself miserable.
