Do You Have Any Options?

Are you having a bad day?
Is your life in the dumpster?
You think you’ve got problems?

Are you alone?  Is it just you the world is making miserable?

It ‘s very easy to get depressed about the way things in our life are going.  We didn’t get the promotion we deserved.  The car broke down; money is tight or non-existent.  Life has a way of getting in the way of our plans. 

Do you have any options?  Can you do anything about your problem?  You probably can, if you decide that you can.

Some people have no options; they are at the mercy of ‘life’.  Some have been diagnosed with an incurable disease.  My niece recently passed away while waiting for a liver transplant.  People with these types of problems have no options, only the mercy of  ‘life’.  They need a miracle or someone willing to give the gift of life.  

Our problems are man-made, therefore they may be solved by man. No problem of human destiny is beyond human beings.
  - John F. Kennedy

Have you considered your options?  Instead of grieving about how bad your life is, take a look around you and determine what you can do about your problems.

People in crisis often suffer from what is called 'constricted thinking', or the inability to see possible solutions to their problem. 

Few men during their lifetime come anywhere near exhausting the resources dwelling within them. There are deep wells of strength that are never used.
  - Richard E. Byrd

 Take a few moments to assess your skills, talents, the things you have to offer, the resources you have available.  

If you search for them, you will find that you do have options.

- Joe Freeman

Our destiny changes with our thought; 
we shall become what we wish to become, 
do what we wish to do, 
when our habitual thought corresponds with our desire.
- Orison S. Marden
