You can wish for a better life more than anything in the world. You can want it so badly that you cannot focus on anything other than how you long for things to change. But, obsessing over your problems brings no solutions.

Being positive and confident that things will drastically improve is not enough to get us to where we want to be. Instead, we must remain positive AND take action in order to reach success.

Set your intention. Tell the universe what you desire. Focus on what you want and generate the feelings that you will finally have once you receive your desire. Once you have set your intention, create a plan! We cannot accomplish our goals if we do not put plans in action and dedicate our time to the cause.

Keeping a positive mindset is absolutely necessary for achieving goals. With a pessimistic attitude, success cannot be accomplished. Confidence, good feelings and fearlessness are required. Positivity and perseverance are the key components of success.

Taking action to bring your goals to life while maintaining an optimistic outlook create the balance that is harmonious with the laws of the universe to successfully manifest your desires. One could long to be a successful and talented painter, but will never reach these goals unless they dedicate time in life. Pick up a brush and paint! Read books and watch videos about painting (love me some Bob Ross), learn everything you can. Become obsessed with your goals (in a healthy manner of course)!

Everything is about learning. Learn how to spend your life doing what makes you happy and the rest will fall right into place. Bad experiences occur, but unless you leave the experience grateful that you were able to recognize a valuable lesson and make different choices in your future; your life cannot improve.

It is difficult to be grateful for a situation that has impacted our lives heavily. But, life is trying to speak to you. Pay attention and be grateful for everything you learn, for without these struggles, it would be impossible to improve and break negative patterns.
