Reframing traumatic experiences
REFRAMING TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCES
How are you able to harness the strength and determination to overcome your deepest fears?
Regardless of what has happened in our lives, we all have one power that can change everything: the power of choice. We cannot choose the events that occur or the circumstances we may find ourselves in, but we can choose what we focus on, what we give meaning to, and what path we will walk down in the future. And it is these three choices, not our conditions, which determine the quality of our lives.
Even when you experience a traumatic event, you are given a choice. How will you allow it to impact your life? How are you going to mold it? How are you going to turn your life around? We can allow the stress and uncertainty caused by these events to overwhelm us, or we can transform our lives by making different decisions.
Many of us become wrapped up in the idea that we can just positively “think” our way out of something. That we can go into the garden and chant: “There are no weeds. There are no weeds. There are no weeds.” And everything will be better. But the reality is, for people to become true leaders, they must first see things as they are, not worse. Then they must see it better than it is, and then make it the way they see it.
The bottom line is that you have a force within yourself that is so powerful, there is nothing that can keep them from doing, being, sharing, creating and giving whatever they envision in life. If you are psychologically strong enough, you can not only survive, you can thrive when tough situations occur, as opposed to letting the environment control you and take over. It’s really about mastering strength within yourself so that you can conquer the outer world around you.
Ultimately, the ability to create an extraordinary life is within your control. Whether that means creating a business or starting a nonprofit, or making a certain amount of money, writing a book, a poem, creating a garden, or creating a family. The most important thing for you to do is to throw away the script of the past, and to define how you want to live your life — physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. Set the standard for yourself so that your brain, body and soul know what you are committed to creating.
