You mustn’t run away from your present, however, you must run towards your future.

The unpleasant present

Have you ever found yourself in a miserable situation with no apparent way out? Perhaps, at this very moment you are in a low paying job, a bad relationship, or a mountain of debt. While it seems like the entire universe has plotted against you and has placed roadblock after roadblock in front of you and your path to success, you must not run away from your present situation. Instead, you must run towards your future when things are the lowest in your life. 

Negative situations often result in negative responses…WRONG

Most people face negative situations in life with negative responses. They blame others for their unhappy and unsuccessful life. They blame their spouse, their boss, their age, their height, their weight, and their parents for their lack of success in their life. And while they blame others for their unsuccessful life, in the same breath, they also look to others and other things to solve their problems.

What’s your plan if you run away? Just running doesn’t solve the problem

As a result, they need to be with a person to feel whole, they need a shiny sports car to feel worthy, and they need a new house on the right side of town to feel successful. And when they construct barriers around their dreams, they want to run away from it all with no plan or vision of how to achieve the future they want.

Your life is a mirror

Little do these blamers understand that their present is a reflection of what they have been thinking about and what they must receive from the benevolent Source. These same people do not realize that their attitude can change an unpleasant present into a fabulous future. 

Don’t be a blamer…claim responsibility for your unpleasant present

Now, consider your own situation. If it’s not what you want it to be, do not blame everyone else for your results and do not look at everyone else for your solutions. Take full responsibility of the present knowing that your attitude can change your results.

Be sincerely grateful where you are at this moment

First, you must take the initiative and be grateful for whatever situation you find yourself in. And next, while being in a positive state of gratitude, you must also create an inner world of peace and calmness. This positive state occurs when you have a concise vision of what you long to achieve.

Clarity of purpose cerates empowerment

Finally, with a clear vision of what you want, you feel empowered and enthused about the future, hence, you can run towards your future knowing that your goals are attainable. 

Change? Change your attitude along with your thoughts, words and actions

In the end, it’s all about your attitude and your reaction to the situation you find yourself in. If you run away from the present, you are reacting out of hate, fear, and doubt. These are negative feelings which only serve to block your path to success.

Run to your future with a heart, mind, and soul full of love, faith and belief

In contrast, if you run towards your future, you are reacting out of love, faith, and belief. These are positive feelings which can only build a bridge to your success. When you find yourself in a situation, carefully think about your reaction to get where you want to go.
