Here are 7 things to remember the next time life throws you a curve ball:
1. Don't be afraid to talk to someone.
Ask for help. Be open to advice. Talk your problems out. Don't keep your thoughts bottled up.
2. How you have overcome other setbacks.
Because you can overcome this one, too.
3. How it feels after you overcome something that seems impossible.
Triumphant. It's worth it. You will grow from this!
4. The people you want to make proud.
Someone will admire your determination and you may inspire others.
5. Complaining won't get you anywhere.
It's okay to vent a little, but be a problem solver, too!
6. Take everything step by step.
This will keep you from being too overwhelmed. Acknowledge your progress.
7. There IS a reason for this curve ball.
This is a learning opportunity. You will... become smarter. Gain knowledge. Become stronger. Gain respect. Gain confidence.
