Resourceful writing.

Resourceful - it's an interesting word, wouldn't you agree? Someone said this word to me yesterday, and it made me think. I have resources, and you have resources. These resources can make you do anything you want to do. And before you say it that really isn't an understatement.
I’m sure you have memories of feeling the best you’ve ever felt, if you only could really relive that feeling and apply it to your life now when you need motivation, I’m sure you’d get further than you think.
I've trying to improve my life. And by this I don't mean making a little list, or reading two chapters of a self help book. I mean, really applying myself to making my life better. I have a lot of obstacles I need to overcome, and it’s only my tiny little brain that can make this happen. My brain wants me to have the best out of life, but simultaneously stops me from doing this. I have the resources in my mind that can help me, but I don't think I'm resourceful enough.
I thought about the most successful and influential people in society - and I thought, they didn't get to be that happy from luck; it was their mind set, their determination and enough positive thinking to light a Christmas tree. But they only have the same resources as you and I.
We live in a negative world, and someone pointed out to me yesterday that signs on the motorway say -'Tiredness kills - take a break', why do they not say 'Take a break - and stay awake'? This made a lot of sense. Catching up with a friend last night made me realise the same thing, I interrupted her half an hour in to point out that we'd only spoken about the negative things going on in our lives.
I have a lot going on right now that I don't like- but I can't control. However, that isn't what's important, what's important is how I perceive these things. I therefore am trying to look at things in a more positive light - and focus on aspects of my life that I can control.
It's interesting to think that slow change isn't always what occurs - we can change the way we perceive the world in a second. All it takes is an activity in our brain, a slight electrical movement and things change.
If you take anything away from this blog entry - try to remember that you're in control of a lot more than you think - I've had a revelation and I believe I am going to take control and achieve what I want...and it's going to be good.
