Isn’t it amazing how many times things don’t go as you had planned?

Do you get frustrated and throw up your hands in disbelief?

Or do you find a way to become resourceful?

To be resourceful is the ability to think clearly in the tough times and use your inner resources to your advantage. To be resourceful is also using your influencing skills to get the assistance of others to help you overcome the challenges life offers you.

Can you list all of the resources you have available to you?

When can you start to use all of those resources?

Do you feel unappreciated, frustrated and underutilized?

Is this something that ruins your days?

This happens to everyone one of us on an inconsistent basis. The challenge for us is that we have let others opinions of us control how we feel about our lives. I used the word challenge, but the word should have been problem. We have created our own problem and now we are sitting in the middle of it.

Yes, we need to get feedback from others, but we surely don’t need to accept their opinions as the gospel truth, do we?

Life is a balance, so when are you going to get more balance in your life and not accept whole-heartedly others opinions of you?

When are you going to start showing that your life has meaning?
