Don’t allow your troubles to get the best of you。 Instead， allow thosetroubles to make the best of you。
Don’t tire yourself out fighting against the challenges。 Instead， find newenergy by embracing1 those challenges and working through them to create realvalue。
Always remind yourself that discour-agement is nothing more than a responseyou’ve chosen。 When you find that you’ve chosen to let it be， you can just assurely choose to let it go。
Replace discouragement with determin-ation。 It is your life’s energy， andyou can point it in whatever direction you choose。 Your most powerful responseis not based only on what has already happened。 Your most powerful response alsotakes into account what you wish to make happen next。
Look forward， and envision in great detail the future you desire。 Thengather all your energy， and step forward to make it be.
