Empower Yourself And Build Inner Strength
John Lennon of the Beatles is reputed to have said that life is what happens while we are making other plans. We all have the experience of things not turning out the way we want. Sometimes we even get the opposite of what we wanted or thought we deserved. For example, despite all our good work, our business colleagues view us with malice, or we do not get the promotion we are looking for, or worse yet, we get laid off. Or we devote infinite effort to doing right by our children, only to find that they can be ungrateful and rejecting, especially when they do not need us anymore. Or even though we try our best to be kind and considerate to our mate, that person seems to spend too much time picking on our faults, while ignoring their own. Or after fifteen years together, the romance is definitely gone from our marriage, and our partner just never seems to do the right thing.
