Reclaim Your Power

Challenges
Trina L.C. Sonnenberg

We all have challenges in life, ranging from the small to the very, very tall. It is important to remember that, at least in my opinion, everything happens for a reason, and that what doesn't kill you will make you stronger. I believe that if we let our challenges consume us, we are lost. We lose control of ourselves; we lose our power when we let the ngative circumstances of our lives become our primary focus.

I know that it is a difficult task, to not think about that which is troubling you; however, it can and must be done in order to progress. If it can't be completely pushed from the mind, the negativity that is, then change its direction. Think about finding the solution, rather than drowning in the problem itself. That changes the negative to a positive. It gives you strength to overcome.

My experiences of late have proved this to me. Actually, I have a lifetime of experiences that have proved this out, but recently, I have written about the challenges I currently face and got to thinking about the solution rather than giving the problem the power to hold me. I kept asking the question, What can I do to solve this once and for all? I stopped asking, Why me? and asked for a solution instead. I received that solution in short order. Now I have changed the negative to a positive by embracing the solution and achieving power over the situation.

We all have the power within ourselves to overcome any challenge we may face. We just need to shed the negative; search for and ask for the solution to that challenge. Rather than thinking that the mountain is too high, ask for help in climbing it. Find the determination from within to succeed. It is within you.

The challenges we face in life are meant to help us grow; they are not meant to keep us in bondage. Set yourself free. Change your thinking and allow yourself to learn, to blossom, to succeed.

Reclaim your power. Every problem has a solution; go find yours!

For starters...
