Re-framing and How you can find joy in every struggle…

I woke up one day and realized something great in life… We can find joy in every struggle.
I also realized that life was just a collection of my memories, and that if there where ever times of sadness, suffering, or sorrow that I didn’t want to hold on to in a negative way…
…I didn’t have to.
You see we all go through times in our life that are hard, that are a struggle. The Beautiful thing is that we can find joy in every struggle
Struggle is needed for growth and it causes a transformation of the body, the mind, and the soul. It’s what we use to grow as people, and the day that you realize after every struggle you will be the strongest best you that you can be…
…You can find joy in every struggle, and re-frame that struggle into a challenge, because that’s all a struggle really is.
It’s one reason I blog everyday, it allows to me to re-purpose my life and put my expressions down in writing.
This is the blogging system I use.
I wanna tell you a little story about my self, for the longest time I lived in a very negative world. I used drugs to negate my reality and hold myself back from life. I only focused on the things in my life that brought me sorrow, even though I was constantly surrounded by joyful experiences.
It’s crazy to think how many of us do this on a regular basis. Even when people I cared about would tell me how great my life was…
…I wouldn’t listen.
I wouldn’t listen because of memories I held on to as a child that effected me negatively.
But then one day I realized something, I realized that even if I didn’t have a lot of good memories, there where good ones hiding inside me, and for the times that there wasn’t…
…I could either re-frame the negative ones, or make up brand new ones.
If you’re struggling for happiness it’s OK, happiness is there with you right now, you just don’t see it yet. But by re-framing your life and past experiences you can find it faster than you think.
You can find joy in every struggle when you see how much growth and strength it gained you.
And as for memories go, if you don’t have any good ones, visualize and make new ones up. You have to do whatever you can to find that happiness within you, and if that means cutting away old memories and making up new ones…
Just do it.
By making up new memories and and using your powerful mind to find joy in every struggle, you can recreate your own world and reset the energy vibration in your body.
The energy vibration is everything, and it controls the world around us. I don’t know if you’re familiar with the Law of attraction. But I found a definition that explains it clear as day, and I want to share it with you.
The Law of Attraction:
Is defined as the process by which your unconscious mind affects your results in life, through the processes of deleting, distorting, and generalizing the input and output systems of your central nervous system – as experienced through the five senses.
Or – your only conscious of about 1% of what you do in your life. Sometimes your walking in a store – and you choose to buy something automatically. Your not aware of the bottoms of your feet as you read this – until I just mentioned that fact, and you felt a particular sensation…
…didn’t you?
As you notice that, understand that your life is being run by programs – whether they are getting you what you want all the time, or creating what you don’t want all the time.
You see its this important aspect of the universe that controls the world as we see it. And it’s because all this that we need to learn to find joy in every struggle.
We need to do whatever it takes to get our body, mind, and spirit resonating with good vibrations and positive energy .
Like I said before I used to focus on so much negativity in my life, and now…
…There’s times that I walk down the street and hear the birds singing in harmony so crystal clear it’s like they are singing their song just for me, then I see the green in the trees grass so vibrant with color it looks like god himself painted it fresh that morning.
..And when I look into the sky I can feel the suns rays flooding me with warmth and light strong enough to brighten the deepest reaches of the universe.
It’s at these times that I become grateful and realize something very important…
…Without every struggle I’ve gone through in my life, I wouldn’t have the ability that I do now to find adventure in a smile. To see the world as a grand place to be loved and appreciated in every aspect.
I learned to find joy in every struggle, and realized that’s all just a journey of growth, and a transformation of the spirit.
Always remember that we are just a soul with a body and not the other way around.
We are all going to go through struggles in life, but it’s what we do in these times that matter most. One of my most favorite quotes is…
Stay strong, you never know who you’re going to inspire.
Find joy in every struggle, and you find joy in every aspect of your life. You will grow into a person of greatness who can use every inch of your journey to inspire others and make this world a better place.
I wanna leave you with these last words of wisdom…
It’s in our hardest struggles that we find our greatest strengths. And it’s with these strengths that we are able to shape our today and create our tomorrow…
