LIFE IS WAY MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN YOU’VE BEEN TAUGHT TO BELIEVE
when I was a kid, I remember being told by other adults what to expect as an adult. These ideas came from teachers, people on TV, people in movies, and other adults that I would hear speaking about the difficulties of life, the hardships, and the complaints.
Thankfully I was surrounded by faithful and optimistic people, but many of these ideas got stuck from others. Some psychological experts say that most of our behavior patterns and worldview are shaped between the ages of 2 and 7, and then carried on for the rest of our lives.
This means that what we hear, internalize, and are exposed to as children is deeply impactful. What I remember is developing the idea that life only gets harder as time goes on. Based on the information that I interpreted and accumulated, I developed the notion to expect things to NOT go your way or to expect things to get harder.
Now that I’m an adult, I can see through this notion. Human consciousness is a causal force in the universe. Intention, thought, desire, and knowledge changes what it becomes aware of. In other words, as Neville Goddard said, “man walks in a world that is nothing more or less than his consciousness objectified.”
I always heard, “life is hard” so commonly from adults. Well it is if you THINK it IS! This mantra of existence creates the burden of feeling like a victim in a dangerous world. The world is BEAUTIFUL, not dangerous! BUT it requires your CONSCIOUS awareness to recognize the beauty instead of the danger or difficulty. You have the power on the inside to color the outside world and the events that happen. You have the option to make your life is easier or harder.
You can burden yourself with unnecessary stress by being negative, complaining, and never being grateful. OR you can CARRY a spirit of UNWAVERING peace and love everywhere and to everything. If your car breaks down, you can do something unique and LAUGH! The ways of life that you see in society are not the only ones that exist. The ways in which others think are not the ONLY ways to think. Cont in comments ⬇️

NO REASON TO BE WEAK 💪🏻
There is absolutely no reason to feel weak. We CAN all get stronger in EVERY area of our lives.
We can get stronger physically, mentally, emotionally, financially, philosophically, spiritually, and health wise.
There is no reason to remain weak. To be weak is a choice. The Lord has given each human an immeasurable amount of inner strength.
This strength can be revealed through sheer WILL.
Many people nowadays are weak, they know they’re weak, they want to change, but they DECIDE to not do anything about their weakness.
We are protected by an infinitely strong Force that is God. This God has made us vessels of consciousness that have the POWER to shape reality in some fundamental way. We must honor our Source and bring our strength into fruition.

We must seek to get STRONGER.
I have recently come to realize that my goal should not be to always be in a state of comfort or peace. And while peace is what nurtures the soul, facing obstacles for the sake of getting stronger will allow one to feel peace through previously hard circumstances.
When you endure life’s troubles and trials, you are gradually putting on your armor. And this armor is not just physical with your muscular or skeletal strength, but with your metaphysical connection to DIVINE SOURCE—a source of infinite power—of which you were born.
When something happens during the course of the day that was not planned, an inconvenience or unforeseen problem, I used to be annoyed and ask “why” did this have to happen.
But I’ve recently realized that I need to see such circumstances, even if they are rough, as OPPORTUNITIES TO BUILD STRENGTH. You can see the weight on the barbell as an inconvenience or you can see it as something to OVERCOME in order to create your strength adaptation.
This is much more practical and useful in the long-term than trying to make sure that EVERYTHING in your life goes as planned every day. You do not have that responsibility. That plan is the responsibility of a higher power, so have faith in it.
And try as much as you can to see trials or problems as lessons and opportunities to build your lifetime strength.
