[Daily OM]:When our next best course of action
seems unclear, any dilemmas we face can appear insurmountable. Yet there
is nothing we cannot overcome with time, persistence, focused thought,
help, and faith. Whatever the situation or problem, there is always a
solution. And if you remember to look within, even as you search around
you for the "right" course of action, you will be able to center
yourself, clear your mind, and see that nothing has to be impossible.
The first step in overcoming any obstacle is to believe that it can be
overcome. Doing so will give you the strength and courage to move
through any crisis. The second step is to make a resolution that you can
prevail over any chaos.
Enlist your support network of family and
friends if necessary. The more minds there are to consider a problem,
the more solutions can be found. Don't discount ideas just because they
seem impractical or "unrealistic," and don't keep searching for the
"best" alternative. Often there is no "best" choice, there is only a
choice to make so we can begin moving beyond whatever is obstructing our
path. At the very least, making a choice, even if isn't the ideal one,
can give you a sense of peace before you have to figure out what your
next course of action will be.
If you feel overwhelmed by the scope of your troubles, you may want to
think of other people who have turned adversity into triumph. We often
gain a fresh perspective when we remember others who have overcome
larger obstacles. It can be inspiring to hear of their victories,
helping us remember that there is always light at the end of every
tunnel. It is during our darkest hours that we sometimes need to remind
ourselves that we don't have to feel helpless. You have within and
around you the resources to find a solution to any problem. And remember
that if a solution or choice you make doesn't work, you are always free
to try another. Believe that you can get through anything, and you will
always prevail.
