Turning Discouragement into Inspiration

Published by kpcwriting at 8:52 am under Personal Messages Edit This

Today, I started thinking about all my family’s debt and I got a little bit discouraged. I started playing the “what if” game. You know the one where you think about what if I hadn’t bought x, what if I hadn’t chosen this career, etc. Well, I soon realized that this was a self defeating pattern and that it was not helping my financial situation at all. In fact, it was only making the situation worse so I stopped – midstream. I stopped feeling discouraged and focused on the progress I had made.

I reflected on the fact that I am making smarter financial decisions every single day. That I have a business plan for the first time in years and that I am loving my life. I then felt inspired and not discouraged at all because I saw that my life was getting better and better every single day and that I am in control of my financial situation and it is not in control of me. What a blessing. Now, I sing, “Oh Happy Day” instead of “Woe me.”
