Three Types of Trouble
b'
You have a choice about how much \\u201cstrength\\u201d you give the things that are bothering you. There are, in fact, only three types of trouble
You can choose to let go of - and learn from - each of them!
Troubles of the past -
Did you do the best you could with the knowledge and resources you had? Then stop cringing every time that memory comes up. You\\u2019re the only one who is remembering it that way. No one else is carrying the memory the same way. Make amends if you need to and most important, learn from what happened. You\\u2019re a different person now!
Troubles of the present -
If you recognize that today is just a snapshot on a timeline continuum, then you can acknowledge that the \\u201ctoday\\u201d of two years ago doesn\\u2019t really linger. Today\\u2019s troubles, two years down the road won\\u2019t feel quite as severe. So, do what needs to be done, learn, get the resources you need, and keep moving forward.
Troubles of the Future -
What a beautiful waste of great imagination\\u2026 we catastrophize, thinking about the outcome being the worst possible scenario when we could be thinking about what it might be like if everything not only worked out okay, but worked out amazingly well!
Whatever trouble you\\u2019re carrying, you\\u2019re the only person carrying it. It\\u2019s your perspective that colors the situation as such. What if\\u2026 what if you chose a different perspective and knew that things were going to be better than just okay?
They are, you know. Choice is power!
