Heaven
or Hell?...It's All in Your Mind
by Susan Russo
 The
greatest part of our happiness depends on our dispositions, not on our circumstances." -Martha Washington
Why is it
that you can take two people and put them in the exact same situation and they will both experience things with totally different
perspectives? Each person's beliefs will totally color how they interpret any given circumstance. Let's say for instance
that there are two people who find themselves holding a "pink slip" because they just lost their job. Of course
they will go through the initial shock and their ego will probably be bruised a little; but now they have to choose how they
are going to look at their situation.
One person is absolutely devastated. They are filled with worry, anger and fear. Plus, they are consumed
with the injustice of it all. They are so victimized by the event that they walk around making everyone else in their path
as miserable as themselves. Their negative attitude and incessant blame sabotages any efforts of moving forward. Instead
of using their mind to create the next move, they are stuck on the past.
The other person isn't happy about the situation,
but their attitude is totally different. After bouncing back from the initial sting, they tell themselves that this is an
opportunity in disguise. They look at it and realize that now their options are wide open to pursue an entirely new beginning.
They say, "In a year from now, I will probably say, it's the best thing that ever happened to me, so I might as well
start saying it today." They know that everything happens for a reason and it will all work out the way it's supposed
to.
Regardless of whether it's your beliefs about relationships, money, love, wealth, work, exercise, diet
etc. you will not only attract into your life what you believe about any given subject, your belief about it will be how
you experience it. If the facts are; that what we think on the inside will be reflected on the outside; perhaps it's time
to take heed to what it is you are telling yourself. If you don't like the way you are living, or you don't like the person
you've become; you are the only one who can make a difference going forward.
Now's the time to wake up to the facts; your
attitude can make you or break you in any given situation. As they say, "It's not what happens to us that's important;
it's what we do and how we view what happens to us, that makes all the difference in the world."
If things aren't going the way you'd like, it's time for an "attitude adjustment." You really
can begin to live your life the way you were intended to; with more peace, love, happiness and appreciation. Once you realize
that it's you that is making yourself so miserable; by what it is you think about; you can then take the steps to make it
right.
Depending on how you view the world and everything that happens to you; you can make heaven out of hell;
or hell out of heaven. It's all in your mind.
Warm wishes…Susan
