"He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world" (1 John 4:4 NKJV). The disappointment of life can cause you to see nothing but negativity in your future.
It leads you to express hopelessness, belittle your own abilities, refuse to take any risk, say no to personal growth opportunities, complain about unfairness of life, and say that nothing you do will make a difference in a particular circumstance. Do you recognize any of these attitude in yourself?
If so, there's good news. Dr. Paul Meet, a Christian psychiatrist, said, "Attitude are nothing more than habits of thought, and habits can be acquired. An action repeated becomes an attitude realize. " That means with practice, you can develop an overcoming attitude. Here's how:
(1) Be honest about your quest to conquer pessimism. Give someone your respect and permission to point out when you are be negative.
(2) Limit your exposure to negative input. Since you become like the company you keep, look for people who fortify your faith and not feed your fears. " He that walker with the wise men shall be wise" (Proverbs 13:20).
(3) Volunteer to serve others who are less fortunate. Serving creates positive feelings and gives you a sense of value; it's also the right thing to do.
(4) Look for the good in every situation and always express faith that it's there! President Harry Truman said, "A pessimistic is one who makes difficulties of his opportunities, and an optimist is one who makes opportunities of his difficulties."
When you face a difficult today, see it as an opportunity because "He who is in you is greater the he who is in the world." Death couldn't stop Him-Nothing also can stop you because you are more than conqueror.
