You Have To Go Through Something To Go Somewhere

 You Have To Go Through Something To Go Somewhere

When I heard an NFL Coach say, "You Have To Go Through Something To Go Somewhere" all I could think of was my life. Two divorce disasters, two financial insolvencies because of the divorces, losing contact with my two boys, losing all of my immediate family to health problems, losing my great wife Ellen to heart failure, and not being able to do any sports because of my bad back.

However, the things I had to go through didn't stop me from regaining financial security, two loving marriages, finding and falling in love with Joyce after losing my Ellen, falling in love with and being loved by Ellen and Joyce's families, trading my sports active years with traveling, writing books and blogs, and mentoring people to find their happiness.

I know many people have gone through worse things than I have. I'm sure some of the people who read my blogs have gone through tough times. The point of the NFL Coach's saying is did you use the negative to go somewhere positive? Did you put the negative of the past and find a way to the positive?

If you're going through a bad situation now, do you have the fortitude to execute a positive plan for the future? Can you let go of your ego and let someone help you? If your today problem is a health problem, can you accept what's happening for now and find a way to be happy with the life you have now and will have in the future.

Remember, all you need to have a happy life is food to eat, air to breathe and shelter. Everything else is cosmetics. Remember, feeling bad for yourself, feeling angry and frustrated for what is happening to you now will never lead to personal happiness. Please, don't let your current problems stop you from loving the life you deserve.

If you have gone through something in the past and gone to somewhere positive, pat yourself on the back. Love yourself for dealing with the negative and turning it into something positive. Remember, 

Loving Yourself More Than Anything Or Anybody Else Makes You A Life Loving Person
