Be thankful for the progress made.

Alright, last post about the mental recovery process.  In the first post about mental recovery I gave you three steps.  Today I would like to focus a little more on the first step: find something that you can be happy with.

"Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough."

-Oprah Winfrey

 

Today I challenge you to take two minutes out of your day and look back.  Look back to who you were and where you were when you first decided what you wanted to strive for.  Now look how much you have grown.  Maybe on a physical level you are stronger, faster, or lost weight.  Maybe on a mental/emotional/spiritual level you have developed a determination like never before.  Just look how much you have grown, and try to imagine how much more you will grow as you go through this journey.  I think you just may find a smile on your face at the end of this challenge.
