You create your own problems

Well this seems oddly unmotivating does it? But wait!

The primary cause of unhappiness is never the situation but your thoughts about it.

Eckhart Tolle

I know that quoting Tolle always causes a bit of an argument or at least controversy, but he is right about this (at least).

Situations alone are just facts. What you make out of it is the only variable. You chose how your inner world looks like. Some people tend to see problems and nuisances wherever they look, others see opportunities and experiences.

Look out for the latter!

Who are you?

Man often becomes what he believes himself to be.

Mahatma Gandhi

Think about yourself as the person you would like to be. Sooner or later the differences between those two persons will decrease gradually and eventually they will vanish.
