We get to pick how we view things. The approach we take to a problem impacts how difficult it will be to solve. We can see things as they are rather than as we perceive them by regulating our illogical emotions. The body follows the head wherever it goes.
Action is preceded by perception. The appropriate perspective leads to the right action. Even circumstances that we originally see as unfavourable have a positive, visible impact that we can notice and take advantage of. This is a complete mental 180-degree turn: seeing past the negative, past its underbelly, and into the positive.
Those who approach challenges and life with the most initiative and energy are more likely to succeed. Taking action is what courage is all about. Begin with saying “yes,” and you’ll be off to a good start.
