Life challenges are inevitable. At times, the trials even seem overwhelming. We cannot help but feel helpless and hopeless.<\/p>\n

Communication professor, life coach, author and TV personality Dr. Carol Morgan, founder of the dating and relationship website HerSideHisSide.com, believes that shifting perspectives allows one to overcome these adversities.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve all gone through hard times. And we all get through them. However, some get through them better than others,\u201d Morgan started. \u201cSo, what is their secret? Most of it has to do with attitude.\u201d<\/p>\n

Echoing Morgan, the Benilde Well-Being Center (BWC) of the De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde wishes to guide others to foster positive thinking and optimistic behavior, as well as maximize their overall happiness.<\/p>\n

Here are 13 reminders to keep in mind:<\/p>\n

1. WHAT IT IS.<\/h3>\n

Suffering only occurs when we resist. If you can affect an aspect, take action. You must accept and let go when the situation is certainly beyond your control.<\/p>\n

2. IT\u2019S ONLY A PROBLEM IF YOU THINK IT\u2019S A PROBLEM.<\/h3>\n

\"\"
\nAt times, we are our own worst enemy. Instead of breeding negative thoughts and emotions, think of it as an educational experience.<\/p>\n

3. START WITHIN YOURSELF.<\/h3>\n

Your inner being reflects your outer world. We initially need to transform ourselves first to change our circumstances.<\/p>\n

4. THERE ARE NO FAILURES \u2013 ONLY LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES.<\/h3>\n

\"\"
\nAchievers have \u2018failed\u2019 over and over. But instead of considering these as letdowns, they did better next time around.<\/p>\n

5. BETTER OPPORTUNITIES ARE COMING.<\/h3>\n

In hindsight, you will be able to see why some prospects did not work out.<\/p>\n

6. APPRECIATE THE PRESENT.<\/h3>\n

\"\"
\nEvery moment is precious and will never come again. Even those that didn\u2019t seem particularly happy can be looked upon as a nostalgic memory someday.<\/p>\n

7. LET GO OF DESIRE.<\/h3>\n

Most covet a goal when they don\u2019t get it. Their emotions plummet into negativity. Practice a \u2018detached mind\u2019: when you have an aim, be happy whether you achieve it or not.<\/p>\n

8. UNDERSTAND AND BE GRATEFUL FOR YOUR FEARS.<\/h3>\n

Fear can be a great teacher. Overcoming them just needs practice. It can likewise make you feel victorious.<\/p>\n

9. ALLOW YOURSELF TO EXPERIENCE JOY.<\/h3>\n

\"\"
\nSome are too immersed in their problems that they would not even know who they are without them. Allow yourself to be happy \u2013 even for a brief moment. Focus on your joy, not your hardships.<\/h3>\n

10. DO NOT COMPARE YOURSELF TO OTHERS.<\/h3>\n

Be grateful for what you have instead.<\/p>\n

11. YOU ARE NOT A VICTIM.<\/h3>\n

You are the creator of your own experience. You can get out of your hard times. Start with your own thoughts and actions.<\/p>\n

12. THINGS CAN AND DO CHANGE.<\/h3>\n

\"\"
\nWhen stuck in a bad situation, we think there is no way out. You need to take action to achieve results. \u2018And this too shall pass\u2019.<\/p>\n

13. ALL IS POSSIBLE.<\/h3>\n

\"\"
\nMiracles happen every day. You just need to believe it does. Once you do, you have already won the battle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
