Who's the boss, your problems or you?
As we center ourselves and calm that center so that it can be at its best, we do not surrender any assertiveness. We remain alert. We remain ready. We take charge of the situation creating our problem and focus on the goal that we plan to achieve.
Sometimes a problem is so troubling that it changes our center and sends us wobbling toward uncertainty. Some problems can infect us with unwanted negative thinking. Even when we know better, it takes discipline to redirect our misdirection.
Feeling negative about a problem won't solve the problem. Stay positive, focus, and take charge.
You are bigger than any problem in front of you.
What negative notion should you drop today? Are you ready to drop it?
