It is not love of self but hatred of self which is at the root of the troubles that afflict our world.

Expect a positive outcome

Think of all the blessings that first arise as troubles. Consider how many opportunities initially appear in the form of problems.

If you give up the moment trouble arrives, you’ll miss out on the good fortune that it’s disguising. When you back off at the slightest disappointment, you deny yourself the chance to transform it into value.

What if you simply make the decision not to categorize anything as a problem? What if you choose to focus on the positive power of your response rather than on the negative aspects of your situation?

Whatever you may be experiencing, there’s some way to turn it to your advantage. Expect a positive outcome, then set about to fulfill your expectation.

No matter what happens or fails to happen outside your control, you can point your mind and your spirit in any direction you choose. You can push successfully through the challenges and transform difficult situations into positive energy.

As difficult as reality can often become, it’s never a reason to give up on your intended purpose. You have the will, the flexibility and resourcefulness to forge ahead, so put it all to good and meaningful use.
