Do You Give Up Easily?
~ By Jan Tincher

Lots of times when we give up, it's because we aren't asking ourselves the right questions . . .

 

Let's say something happened, and you asked yourself, *Why is this happening to me?* Or worse, *Why does this ALWAYS happen to me?*

Why questions are usually pretty damaging. Especially if they are the why questions mentioned above.

Why?

Because when you ask yourself *Why is this happening to me?* Or, *Why does this ALWAYS happen to me?* your brain answers you.

Usually with answers you don't like, but answers that, by now, you are used to.

Such as *Because, dummy, you screwed up -- like you ALWAYS screw up!* Or *Because you're stupid!*. Or *Because you're poor.*. Or *Because you're ugly.*. Or because . . . (Well, you know the drill.)

It's like a train going down a track. It has the same old grooves in your mind and the more you say them, the deeper the grooves; the more you think them, the more you encounter the experiences that confirm them. Yep. Bring it on. Bring on more of the stupid, ugly, poor, or (whatever experience it is that crosses your mind at least once a day.)

So, hey, if you're going to ask questions, why not ask empowering questions. See where they get you.

Get in the habit of asking *How can I change this?* . Why? Because if you don't you may never get the answer! Then, where would you be? Right where you are right now, right?

How about this? What happens if something happens and you draw the conclusion that someone doesn't like you. Then, you go in your *nobody likes me* funk. You know the one, where you don't think you have any friends.

Well, you know what? Nobody likes everybody. How important is it that THIS particular person, or these particular people, like you?

Look at all your options. Maybe there's a person who could like you, but you haven't given him or her any attention. Maybe this person would be a nice friend to have.

Now, if that's the road you decide to take, suddenly your *nobody likes me* funk has disappeared. Why? Because you decided to do something about it or to find a way around it.

How about *this doesn't work.* Do you shrug and walk away, discouraged? Do you, we certainly hope not, kick the item? Does that make you feel better? No.

Let's see what's important here. It doesn't work. You can't fix it -- do you know someone who can? You can't afford it -- can you barter? You're feeling angry about it -- if it's broken and you can't get it fixed, are you doing something about it that is within your power? Such as getting rid of it?

There really are so many options you can take. Why not discover each one and be in the frame of mind that you CAN do something about it?

When you decide (and that's all it is is a decision) to do something, that's the moment you have decided NOT to give up. Decisions are powerful. Take advantage of your ability to decide -- whenever anything happens to you. You have just removed yourself from the *victim* syndrome or the victim mentality. Doesn't that feel great?

Good luck!

Thanks for reading.
