GORDON FRANKS Pearls of Wisdom ! “When unexpected things happen to us, we have the power of choice or decision as to how we react or respond to the situation”. GORDON FRANKS – Quote from my book “The Designer’s Original”. www.gordonfranks.net
Going through emotions in an abusive relationship, divorce, rejection, depression, retrenchment or loss of a loved one are painful experiences to endure. The unexpected loss of joy could leave you emotionally numbed, withdrawn into depression or at the point of breaking down.
On impulse, insensitive people draw prejudiced conclusions by pinning the blame syndrome onto the weakest link.The vulnerable persons usual reaction is to dump their emotional baggage onto anyone with the hope of finding sympathy or someone to agree. When You realize that nobody is listening to your negative self talk, it is time to evaluate how far off course you have drifted in life.
A person who pronounces negative words over their situation will continue to live yesterday’s miseries today, tomorrow and forever. The more You amplify your situation you are setting yourself up for greater disappointment until it hits you that nobody cares about your problems. There is no benefit to insult someone’s reputation or seek revenge over a relationship that has soured. You cannot hold anyone responsible for your loneliness or disappointment more so if the person has moved on in life.
It is also pointless to stay in an abusive relationship with wishful thinking whilst you can clearly see the writing on the wall that there is no hope of change. How does someone who has hit rock bottom in life, rise to make a new start. Firstly, You have to engage the power of your mind and secondly the freedom to maximise using it as a springboard to get back in the game of life. It is up to you whether you are going to rise to the challenge or allow the situation to overpower you. Whatever your mind can conceive and believe, your mind will achieve. You must adopt resilience to change the destination from that of a victim mindset to your new journey being a victory mindset. Apply your mind to logic and reason by living your life without any expectations from others and you will eliminate disappointments.
Make an assertive decision to face your adversities by rising above your circumstance to embrace expectancy. Beyond any adversity there are priceless lessons learned during the process that will escalate or exalt you to the top of the mountain. Position yourself with an advantage to see the clear view. If you desire the experience of an extraordinary quality of life, you are set to take your life to a new level. It starts with adopting a positive thinking mindset for change that will inevitably turn the tide in your favour.
The irony of life is not about giving up to die when situations overwhelms us but what dies inside of us whilst we still alive. Life will throw you challenges or setbacks at anytime without a warning, so keep your guard up all the time. Although life is a cycle and a circle of what goes around comes around, GOD, through his infinite intelligence and sovereign supremacy holds the universe under his care, control and custody.
Your Destiny has been written with an assignment to overcome any adversity, setback or challenge. Regardless of pain or adversity, your setback must be seen as only a temporary set up for your comeback. Let’s Reach For The TOP TOGETHER.
