Defy Your World

Several years ago, I was speaking with a friend of mine who happens to be a two time Olympian, and after talking about my life experiences, she turned to me and said, “With what you’ve been through, your life should have turned to be very bad! Maybe a criminal or worse! How did you do it?”. Her point was that not many people turn out to have good positive lives after having lived very traumatic experiences.
It all comes down to one simple thing… CHOICE. It is very interesting to see how the outcome of our lives can be completely re-directed by simple choice. Depending of what you choose, YOU can defy your world OR your world can defy you!
I told my friend that after having life altering experiences, every time I had a negative thought come to mind, I would immediately silence it by ‘Shhhh’ing it out loud and she absolutely loved it!
Before you choose any method to lift your mental attitude of mind, you must be aware and know that you are not defined by anyone, because
you get to define yourself first.
