Key Takeaways:
✅ Acceptance is Power – The first step in resilience is accepting reality instead of resisting it.
✅ Shift Your Perspective – Ask yourself: Has anyone else ever survived this? You’re never alone in your struggles.
✅ Happiness is a Decision – Much like toddlers who decide to laugh or cry based on their audience, we too can choose our reaction to life’s difficulties.
✅ Gratitude Trumps Negativity – You can't be grateful and miserable at the same time. Focus on what you have, not what’s missing.
✅ Resilience is Built in Tough Times – The struggles we don’t choose shape us into the people we want to become.
✅ See Yourself as Capable – Self-image dictates success more than willpower. You must first see yourself achieving a goal before making it a reality.
✅ Take Small Steps Forward – If you feel overwhelmed, break things down into manageable actions. Just focus on doing your best until bedtime.
✅ Set Goals to Regain Control – Happy people feel in control of their lives. Small, achievable goals restore confidence and hope.
