Being closed minded when it comes to bad luck or some major issue in your life is something that a lot of people suffer from. A lot of people create this tunnel vision, not looking at the big picture during situations in life, and that could be very limiting and can hold back progress..

For example, your relationship ends and all you can think about is the negatives and that the pain will never end. Guilty. But why trap yourself in that mindset? We all do it to some degree. Instead of making more obstacles to overcome, why not try to make the path easier?

I’ve done the same, I admit, but I’ve learned that life moves on and either you live it, or stay stuck in the same self pitty, being a victim. I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to be stuck, or a victim. I want to be happy. I want to live life to the fullest.

You work with what you got, and remember that when one door shuts, another opens. We are all in the same boat so to speak. Everyone has to deal with life one way or the other. Break the chains and be free …
