Yes You Can

In this journey called life we are sometimes faced with victories and at times it seems that we are faced with defeat; however, the way we view our challenges can help to give us a " I can attitude" or an attitude of defeat. For example: two persons may lost their jobs and one person may decide that now is a good time to pursue the dream career he or she has always been passionate about and the other person may start to cry and get depressed because he or she does not see another way out. The difference between the two persons who lost their jobs is the perception each has about the circumstance in which he or she finds himself/herself.

Having a "yes I can" attitude can help one to motivate oneself to fight through challenging situations until victory is won. No matter how bad the situation is one can use self-talk to encourage oneself to know that whatever the situation is it will not last forever.

It is very important to surround yourself with friends and family members who have a positive outlook on life; therefore, they can encourage you and remind you that "yes you can" do whatever you set out to do and that you should keep trying until you emerge a winner. Now, there are things that are not good for you and if you are doing anything that is not good for you, you should not continue on that path and try to motivate yourself to do something that you know you have no right doing.

In the midst of your storm remember that "you can do all things through Christ who gives you strength." You are not alone. You have Heaven working on your behalf. You were created by God to be a winner. Seek His purpose for your life and walk in that purpose. May God give you the strength that you require to go through the storms of life and may you come out of your storm stronger and wiser. May your today be better than your yesterday and may peace, love, and happiness be yours forever!!


May this song encourage you:"My Redeemer Lives"

Be Blessed,

Joy

  1. That song is VERY encouraging. I recommend it to others as well! I really like it. And I need to continue to have an "I can" attitude instead of and attitude of defeat. We can all work a little hard at that step.

  3. Excellently written! I truly admire your positivity and how you see life. Couldn't agree more, how bad a situation is actually goes back to how one sees and acts towards it!

    Have a sparkling day! (:
