It’s your unwillingness to let go of the mindset that keeps you trapped. Some people even cling to their struggles because they’ve become a part of their identity. Complaining feels comfortable, and abundance can feel threatening because it challenges the victimhood they’ve grown used to.<br /><br />But that’s not where happiness lives. To create the life you dream of, you need to shift your perspective and take ownership. Stop waiting for things to change and start changing the way you see things.

You create your experience by the lens you choose to look through.\n\nHere’s the thing: without taking responsibility for your thoughts, emotions, and actions, you’ll always feel stuck. Life will seem unfair, like it’s happening to you instead of for you. But here’s a hard truth—it’s not life that’s the problem. It’s your unwillingness to let go of the mindset that keeps you trapped. Some people even cling to their struggles because they’ve become a part of their identity. Complaining feels comfortable, and abundance can feel threatening because it challenges the victimhood they’ve grown used to.\n\nBut that’s not where happiness lives. To create the life you dream of, you need to shift your perspective and take ownership. Stop waiting for things to change and start changing the way you see things. When you stop blaming and start seeing opportunities, life opens up. The abundance you seek is already there—you just have to choose to see it.\n\nIf this reached you or there was something that truly resonated with you, please like and share in hopes this will maybe reach someone that it could help. \n\n-Coach Mike\n\nEDIT your GOALS \n\nEvery \nDay\nInternal \nThoughts \n\nGuarantees \nOur\nAbsolute \nLife\nSituations\n\n#reality #lens #choice #shift #gratitude \n\nBackground Picture by \nTim RüBmann",

"content": "Is what I see out there the same as inside?<br /><br />When we look at how your relationships with others are playing out right now—whether there’s peace or conflict—it can tell us a lot about the relationship you have with yourself. Often, the way we interact with others is a mirror of how we treat ourselves internally. For instance, if you find yourself being critical or frustrated with others, it might be because there’s some self-criticism or frustration you’re carrying within. The same goes for kindness and patience; if you’re able to extend that to others, it usually means you’ve developed those qualities for yourself too.<br /><br />Here’s how we can use this understanding. First, let’s think about your relationships. Are there patterns of conflict or disconnection? If so, instead of focusing solely on fixing things externally, I’d encourage you to turn inward and reflect on what’s happening inside. Are you being too hard on yourself? Are you holding onto anger, guilt, or unresolved emotions? These inner struggles often spill into our interactions without us even realizing it.<br /><br />At the same time, when you notice certain behaviors in others—whether it’s kindness, hostility, or indifference—it can serve as a window into their own internal world. It’s not always personal; it’s often a reflection of their relationship with themselves.<br /><br />Using this as a tool for self-reflection, ask yourself: How do I speak to myself? How do I treat myself in difficult moments? By improving that inner dialogue, you’ll not only find more peace within, but you’ll also see it reflected in your relationships with others.<br /><br />If this reached you or there was something that truly resonated with you, please like and share in hopes this will maybe reach someone that it could help. <br /><br />-Coach Mike<br /><br />EDIT your GOALS <br /><br />Every <br />Day<br />Internal <br />Thoughts <br /><br />Guarantees <br />Our<br />Absolute <br />Life<br />Situations<br /><br /><a href=\"https://www.minds.com/search?f=top&t=all&q=self\" title=\"#self\" class=\"u-url hashtag\" target=\"_blank\">#self</a> <a href=\"https://www.minds.com/search?f=top&t=all&q=reflection\" title=\"#reflection\" class=\"u-url hashtag\" target=\"_blank\">#reflection</a> <a href=\"https://www.minds.com/search?f=top&t=all&q=acknowledge\" title=\"#acknowledge\" class=\"u-url hashtag\" target=\"_blank\">#acknowledge</a> <a href=\"https://www.minds.com/search?f=top&t=all&q=selflove\" title=\"#selflove\" class=\"u-url hashtag\" target=\"_blank\">#selflove</a> <a href=\"https://www.minds.com/search?f=top&t=all&q=peace\" title=\"#peace\" class=\"u-url hashtag\" target=\"_blank\">#peace</a> <br /><br />Background Picture by <br />Darius Bashar",

"content": "Is what I see out there the same as inside?\n\nWhen we look at how your relationships with others are playing out right now—whether there’s peace or conflict—it can tell us a lot about the relationship you have with yourself. Often, the way we interact with others is a mirror of how we treat ourselves internally. For instance, if you find yourself being critical or frustrated with others, it might be because there’s some self-criticism or frustration you’re carrying within. The same goes for kindness and patience; if you’re able to extend that to others, it usually means you’ve developed those qualities for yourself too.\n\nHere’s how we can use this understanding. First, let’s think about your relationships. Are there patterns of conflict or disconnection? If so, instead of focusing solely on fixing things externally, I’d encourage you to turn inward and reflect on what’s happening inside. Are you being too hard on yourself? Are you holding onto anger, guilt, or unresolved emotions? These inner struggles often spill into our interactions without us even realizing it.\n\nAt the same time, when you notice certain behaviors in others—whether it’s kindness, hostility, or indifference—it can serve as a window into their own internal world. It’s not always personal; it’s often a reflection of their relationship with themselves.\n\nUsing this as a tool for self-reflection, ask yourself: How do I speak to myself? How do I treat myself in difficult moments? By improving that inner dialogue, you’ll not only find more peace within, but you’ll also see it reflected in your relationships with others.\n\nIf this reached you or there was something that truly resonated with you, please like and share in hopes this will maybe reach someone that it could help. \n\n-Coach Mike\n\nEDIT your GOALS \n\nEvery \nDay\nInternal \nThoughts \n\nGuarantees \nOur\nAbsolute \nLife\nSituations\n\n#self #reflection #acknowledge #selflove #peace \n\nBackground Picture by \nDarius Bashar",

It’s about knowing that your happiness is yours to create, and that no external situation can take it from you.<br /><br />When you cultivate gratitude, compassion, empathy, and forgiveness, you align with your True Self.
