Stop focusing on what you can’t do — or what you ASSUME, or BELIEVE, that you can’t do — and instead put your energy into the things that you CAN do. Stop thinking of and listing all of the reasons you can’t make your goal happen, all of the challenges that are in front of you, and start focusing on the power that you DO have and the abilities that you DO possess.

We are DESIGNED to overcome challenges in the same way fish are designed to swim or birds are designed to fly. You were made to overcome obstacles. You were made to conquer challenges. You were made to overpower adversity in your life. You were made to solve problems. Often times we feel like a situation is too heavy, or that the pressure is too much, but in reality you have what it takes to overcome whatever is put in front of you.

God, the universe, etc., won’t put you in a situation hat you can’t handle. You’re never going to be presented with a problem that you can’t solve. So don’t cower from your fears and problems; if anything, you need to EMBRACE them, because facing your fears and overcoming challenges is what will make you a better person. See yourself in a different light — rather than being someone who is defeated by what comes up against them be the kind of person who CONQUERS whatever is presented to them.
