You already know life has problems. No one can breeze through life without experiencing adversity. It can be loss of a job, unemployment, rejection in relationships, decrease in salary, falsely accused, blackballed, slandered, thrown away by some family members because of secret jealousy, judged by phony friends due to your situation and finances, homelessness, financial instability, or not given credit when due. Whatever the adversity experienced in your life, it doesn't mean the end of the world for you. How you deal with problems in life can make or break you.
Reversing Adversity into Opportunity
Negativity has a way of emotionally and spiritually dampening a person's thoughts. If you're not strong enough to deal with issues in life as they come, it can derail you and your future ambitions. Not everyone who experiences adverse events in life allow the negative things to bring them down. Yes, it's hard to continually think positive when disaster strikes. But, negative people and events that took place in your life can give you the right indrect experience to to positive things.
Two positive things that can brew out of negative past events and people who doubt you are becoming a counselor to coach others what to do when issue arise in their life. The second positive thing brewing out of negativity is gaining and retaining the faith to start your own business and keep entrepreneurial ambition flowing abundantly, while building your business from scratch. Former New York City Mayor and billionaire philanthropist Michael R. Bloomberg got fired in 1979 from Salomon Brothers on Wall Street and was given a pink slip. He couldn't find a job after being let go. Refusing to feel defeated, he started Bloomberg L.P. in 1981. Mike has been blazing the way since. He didn't allow adversity to keep him down.
Counseling Others for Success
Based on your past life experience, you can be a blessing to others. When you share what you've been through with others, they feel a connection to you. They will start to feel your words and truly listen to what you have to say. Everyone in life has to go through something.
If you share positive energy with those whom you counsel and inspire them to go in the right direction by starting a business, going back to school, being a community role model, or even a volunteer, you have positively impacted that person's life for the better. They may look you up years later just to thank you from their heart for taking personal time to encourage them.
'Past Dating Experiences'
Just about everyone has 1 or a few negative past dating experiences. Someone dated you just to see what you were about. Maybe that person only wanted to date you for money or information. Or, someone dated you to get back at their ex-boyfriend or ex-girlfriend and used you as a front. Or, how about someone cheating on you behind yourt back and quietly finding out, only to mentally condition yourself for an upcoming breakup and the person dumping you trying to play cool and slick takes you out to dinner and dumps you, pays for your dinner, and says at the restaurant table "I'm going back to the past - I'm in love with someone else." That right there can be seen as more than a Debbie downer. That can emotionally ruin someone and their ambition toward life, if the person getting dumped is not strong enough to deal with that kind of rejection.
When negative dating experiences happen, it can be the perfect emotional and entrepreneurial fuel to start a business. It can also be the perfect fuel to get organized and strive daily for excellence. Those negative dating experiences also teach you to be more careful about who you date, because some of the nicest looking people are actually the most dangerous. They want to zap the zest for life out of you, possibly set you up for life failure, and take what they can from you, even if it's a lousy $30. The negative experience from dating can propel you to be an inspiration to someone getting sound advice from you. Negative dating experiences can inspire you to work overtime in building your business. Just because the ending of the relationship was on a sour note doesn't mean it's the end of the world. It may be the beginning of a bright future in Christ Jesus, if you believe and trust in The Lord thy God with your soul, heart, and mind. HE can make a negative experience into a bright future and more. Just trust HIM and keep moving forward.
Last words of encouragement...
Whatever you go through in life, hold onto God's unchanging hand. You may slip and slide, but get back up immediately. Whether it's going back to church, school, starting a business, becoming a community leader or volunteer, or anything else that's positive, keep the faith and always pray. As the old saying goes "after the rain comes the sunshine." Be encouraged and never quit in the uncertain game called life.
