Discern between accepting and settling. Accept what you cannot change, but never settle for anything below your standards.
When you settle for less than your standards, you allow yourself to lose integrity and you lose a piece of yourself every time. Simple math tells you that the more you’re not in integrity, the more you lose. Being out of integrity is very similar to your spine being out of its healthy alignment, or the alignment of your car being out of its proper settings. In either case, you (or your car) aren’t going to be able to operate at the optimum level when lacking integrity.

The Law of Attraction, if you will excuse the pun, can be quite attractive. Narrowed down to its basics, the Law of Attraction means: You will reap whatever type of energy you sow. If you engage in and put out negative energy such as pessimism and cynicism, then you’ll get negative energy back. Likewise, if you engage in and put out positive energy such as hope and optimism, then that, too, will be returned to you. You may recognize this as karma, of which it’s basically the same perspective. If you want to truly create and live the life of power, passion, purpose and prosperity, then it’s of the utmost importance you sow your seeds accordingly.

Those negative thoughts are not wasted. Use them to create alternative ways to viewing a situation. By taking up the challenge to reframe your thoughts and attitudes can lead to personal growth.
