Victor Frankl overcame Auschwitz and Genevieve overcame a year in a full body cast. They showed that an active mental life filled with positive mental activities and thoughts can sustain a will to live and even create happiness in the worst of situations. Genevieve said it became one of her happiest years. Once you overcome your deepest fears, then you can face each day with new confidence and calmness. Thinking you are entitled to more than you have leads to feeling deprived and resentful.
Some people spend much of their lives feeling like victims.
Hope for the best, be prepared for the worst, expect something between, and be grateful for all that you receive. Be your own psychologist and discover the deeper causes of your feelings. Use the self-exploration process to follow your emotions to the heart of any problem affecting your happiness. Focus on the emotion, note associated thoughts and images, and track the general, underlying themes of your thoughts. Once you discover the root causes of your problems, use your higher beliefs and a good problem-solving process to resolve the problem.
