Topic: Thinking Logically And Strategically In Adversity

  1. In adversity, positive thinking is essential when we focus on thinking positively about finding and executing a strategy to solve problems and resolve issues. However, positive thinking about problems and needs can be misapplied. When misapplied, positive thinking can cause us to overlook problems and needs rather than exposing problems and needs to actions we need to take to find and apply solutions. For example, you can think positively about getting a job in the medical field, but if you have no medical training or medical education, then your chances of getting a job without the training and education are slim. In this instance, your positive thinking needs to be about getting the necessary training and education that leads to getting a job.

  2. In adversity, happiness does not come out of forcing yourself to do something or forcing yourself to think a certain way. Happiness comes out of your ability to treasure what you have and be thankful.

  3. In adversity, you cannot force yourself to grow physically, spiritually, or emotionally. Personal growth must come from our need or desire to expand who we are in all aspects of our life.

  4. In adversity, your will power must be used to help you achieve goals you really want and can attain. Your will power must be used to attain goals determined by your power to think and by the interaction of your heart and mind.

  5. In adversity, it is unrealistic to believe you can do anything you have set your mind to do because every person has limitations. However, what is realistic is holding the belief you can attain greatness by conquering the obstacles in your life. What is realistic is holding the belief you can deal with circumstances so well that victory is assured, no matter what you face.

  6. In adversity, a goal we achieve to please others, to gain us praise, to gain us recognition, or to fulfill a fantasy about who we are becomes a monster…and we are trapped by this monster.

  7. When adversity ends, some people still hold themselves together by will power. When people hold themselves together by will power, they are driven and have no peace or time for love.

  8. In adversity, to achieve all there is to achieve, we need to use our feelings, our intuition, our intelligence, and our will power. When we use all of these together and we fulfill our true destiny given to us by God, the spiritual payoff is enormous.
