“The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man.” - George Bernard Shaw
Life is all about seasons. As seasons change, so does the circumstances.
However, humans beings are the most resilient creatures and are incredibly adaptable!
What is powerful is how malleable the human brain is, which allows people to adapt continuously in varying environments.
Victor Frankl, psychiatrist, philosopher and author has two quotes that stick out to me.
1. “Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.”
2. “When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves”
The way we speak to ourselves is vital to how we respond in life’s obstacles and while repeating a small affirmation may not seem like a big deal - it really is.
Our brain doesn’t know the difference of how we think, and the subconscious operating system we have is powerful.
So whoever you are, take a quick second to breathe, repeat this to yourself and remind yourself that despite it all, everything does work out.
Speak to yourself kindly, do things that set you soul on fire, be kind to yourself and show up again the next day.
“You take a loss, shit don't cry about it, just embrace it. Minor setback for major comeback, that's my favorite.” - Kendrick Lamar ( Dedication by Nipsey Hussle featuring Kendrick)
I have a feeling that big things are on the way! Let’s get it!
