How to stay positive in tough times?

A common question I’ve had in recent times is “how can I stay positive when life keeps giving challenges?”

My favourite way to look at life is with the belief that it is rigged to my favour. I’ve learnt to accept that every opportunity, relationship, business risk, etc that hasn’t worked out for me wasn’t because life is against me or that “life sucks”. I choose to believe those opportunities didn’t work out as they weren’t meant too. From each of these missed opportunities there was a lesson for me to learn, a greater teaching to absorb. And I believe each of these teachings has conspired to ensure I was ready for when the ideal opportunities did present.

Witness how your behaviours and actions shift when you replace the thoughts “why is this happening to me?” with the thoughts “what is this trying to teach me?”
