What Strong People Don’t Do!

When getting through some seriously tough times, we often struggle with hanging in and staying strong.  Since emotional healing is something all of us struggle with at times, I thought I’d write each week about some things emotionally strong people don’t do to give you new insights and perhaps creating a better life.  Enjoy!


They don’t waste time feeling sorry for themselves:

Emotionally strong people don’t sit around feeling sorry about their circumstances of how others have treated them.  Instead, they take responsibility for their role in life, work on changing what can be changed and keep in mind that life isn’t always easy or fair.  In the end, happiness is not the absence of problems, but simply the ability to deal well with them.  So look at what you have, instead of what you have lost.  Because it’s not what the world takes away from you that counts; it’s what you do with what you have left.

They do not say, “I can’t:”

As Henry Ford said, “Whether you think you can or think you can’t; you are right.”  Emotionally strong people know this is true.  If you really can’t to do something, you can and you will find a way.  If you don’t, you will surely find a long list of excuses.  So stop saying, “I wish” and start saying “I will.”  Turn your ‘cants’ into ‘cans’ and your dreams into action plans.

Magic Morsel!   Only incorrect thinking can create problems where none exist; pain is created in the mind!
