As we progress through different stages of our lives, there will be a halt, before continuing with our success. Regardless of how easygoing your life may appear, or realistically be, a period of time will display our flaws, as we are exposed to the horrors of life. Instead of dreading these developing predicaments in our lives, here’s a daily reminder of the factors that contribute to the recipe of living a wonderful life, even during times of adversity.

1) Collect all the factors required to attain a successful recipe.

These factors include the people and hobbies that create self-happiness. It could be your family, a sibling, a particular book, music, or even a sport. Consider these factors as ones that you “cannot live without.”

2) Take the first factor available to you, write it on a piece of paper, and place it within any empty jar.

This first factor can be the primary thought in your head when contemplating on significant aspects of your life. For example, let’s say we have a passion for playing basketball. This may be the only aspect that is currently a stable element in your life. If not, continue to write on pieces of paper the items or people that are available to you and bring you joy. Then, place them in an empty jar to keep track of what you write.

3) If there is only one factor available, it’s a better bargain than you can believe.

If we determine that a basketball is the only item currently available to me and that being involved in the game brings me ultimate happiness, I will solely focus on this primary factor. The positive ideology about one significant passion in a person’s life is that more concentration and determination will be applied to the focused area of interest. The time, commitment, and practices that we owe ourselves is simply at the tip of our fingers, awaiting our spontaneous move and ambition.

4) If one aspect only exists, our skills will multiply within this area of interest, creating an UNSTOPPABLE individual.

The more concentration I place into basketball, decreases the amount of time my mind focuses on the negative experiences and actions occurring. I am distracted from the array of mixed emotions, and instead, experience the ultimate feeling of success. Ultimately, I grow wiser and increase my intellect on the game of basketball. A passion, or a distraction, so simple, can transform our minds and open our eyes to its incredibility. By this occurring, not only do we learn, but we improve. We become phenomenal at something which was once so foreign to us. In a way, we prove that we can conquer the inevitable.
