This one image she sent me, (straight out of my own book!) really put things in perspective after the hellish experience I had:“Be Grateful.

Get Unstuck From Any Problem, Larry James
September 10, 2013 by

A lot of us stay stuck in the problem and ask ourselves, "Why me?" Asking, "Why me?" is a waste of time! Get rid of the "why" question. It only makes you defend your position. Defending a position that got us in the problem in the first place doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Our first knee-jerk reaction is … [Read more...]
