We all were born with natural instincts and insecurities. How should we get past them? CAN we get passed them? The answer is YES. Check out my 7 ways to keep the positivity and light in your life.

PULL A POSITIVE OUT OF EVERY NEGATIVE
For example: You lose your job. The positive aspect of that would be this: you weren't meant to stay in that position, there is something better for you coming into your future. If you are going through a hellish situation, take out a pen and paper. Write down at least one positive aspect of that occurance and do that with everything. You will find yourself learning from your past experiences quicker.

WE ARE ALL BLESSED WITH THE "POWER OF CHOICE
In every given situation, we ALWAYS have the right to choose which direction we want to travel. Know that no matter what, the direction you choose will be the right one for you, even if it brings turmoil. Also understand that with every choice we make comes a lesson.

THERE'S A REASON FOR EVERYTHING
If you believe in a higher power, you will believe in destiny. Know that your higher power has a path written out for you since birth. This is where the "Power Of Choice" comes into play. You can make a decision based on your knowledge at that time, but no matter which decision you make, you're still traveling on your path to your blessed destiny.

ALWAYS GO WITH YOUR FIRST GUT INSTINCTS
I'm sure you've heard that your first gut feeling is always correct and it is. Everyone is blessed with intuition. There are many different kinds and we all experience it at different levels. Your first instinct will direct you to your correct path. If you second guess yourself, which most of us do, you'll find yourself in more turmoil that you'd like. No one can be PERFECT, but by using your intuition and not second guessing yourself, you'll find that the road to your destiny will be a lot smoother.

TRY TO ALWAYS KEEP A POSITIVE ATTITUDE
I know it's easier said than done but if you try and maintain a positive attitude in everything you do, you'll find that you will be sending out good vibes to everyone around you. Have you ever noticed that when you're gloomy, other people are the same way as well? No one wants to be around a depressed individual, so put a smile on your face even if you're feeling down. People will notice and do the same. All the other suggestions as stated above will come into play to help you reach and maintain the positive attitude.

EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS IN LIFE IS MEANT TO TEACH US A LESSON
If you look at the past and laugh, you know that whatever you've been through has taught you a lesson. You will not stop learning until you're deceased, and even then I'm sure there's more to learn. Knowing this will help you reach a point in your life when you can honestly say "I have lived my life with zero regrets".

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A "MISTAKE" OR "FAULT"
Have you ever heard the expression, "One man's garbage is another man's treasure?". For example: I bite my nails. Most people would suggest that my biting my nails is a "fault". For someone else who bites their nails like me, they'd be ok with it. That person would be more willing to be around me because we would relate to one another better. We are our own worst critic. Keep in mind that when we think we've made a mistake, others may not see that the same way. (See "There's A Reason For Everything" and "The Power Of Choice")
