Do you realize rather than wallowing in your despair, transform it into compassion for others? How? Look for something you can do to encourage those around you. See the difference it has upon you.
Understand focusing only on your own problems and challenges puts you in a negative and helpless state of mind. Yet when you turn your attention to helping others, you will soon become more positive.
Beginning today when you’re in need of encouragement, begin to offer your own encouragement to someone else. Why? Nothing can lift you up more effectively than your own efforts to lift another up.
