Whatever you think about all of the time will become bigger in your life. Whatever you consistently talk about, whatever you consistently say about yourself, will eventually turn true.  It’s simply a matter of time. Your mind is basically the magnifying glass for whatever you want to happen in life. Therefore, don’t spend your time thinking about things and scenarios that you don’t actually want to happen. Instead, we need you to use all of that brainpower on the positive scenarios that you want to occur. 

Things can’t always go your way. Everything can’t always work out in your favor every time; that’s just not the way that life works, and to be completely honest, it really isn’t the way that you should WANT life to work. You should pray that you have difficulties in life. You should be happy when you have struggles in your life. You should rejoice when times get hard. You should be more than gleeful when these things occur, because going through these trials and tribulations are what makes you stronger in life. These are the things that make you tougher, make you wiser, make you better. Bad times are blessings, because bad times are what give you the opportunity to prove that you yourself are bad.  You have to enjoy it. 

Pressure is what turns coal into diamonds. Therefore, we need you to embrace the pressure. It can definitely burst your pipe, but you aren’t going to let that happen. You are going to take that pressure and turn it upside down. You’re going to turn it on its head and utilize it to make you a bigger, stronger person. You’re going to use their pressure to take you from level 1 to level 100. 

Choose to not see the problems in your life. Focus on the solutions. You are not a problem dweller, you are a problem solver.  When difficulties arise in your life, you don’t get scared and anxious. No.  When difficulties arise in your life, you get excited, because you see them as an opportunity to express your greatness. You see them as an opportunity to show the world your mettle. You see them as opportunities to show you can’t be fazed by difficulties, people can just be amazed by how well you’re able to handle difficult situations. 

You no longer see obstacles. You only see opportunities. You no longer see challenges. You only see chances. You no longer see problems. You only see potentialities. You no longer see difficulties. You only see your own determination. You have to start seeing your life for what it truly is — a proving ground. Life and what it throws at you is really just one big chance for you to prove how tough, resilient, and great you really are. 

Please take that chance with the highest level of seriousness.
