1: Every bad thing that has happened to you in your life, is your responsibility. Before you get annoyed at that statement, read it again. There is a difference between fault and responsibility. Whatever happened, however awful, it might not have been your fault but how you deal with what happened is your responsibility. If you choose not to deal with it, you’ll be bothered by it forever. Don’t bitch or moan about the situation. Accept the responsibility and watch your mindset develop in strength.
2: Any negative experience, you will learn from. There’s a saying, diamonds are formed under pressure. It’s the same about people. Once you accept what happened, you can see the hardest parts of your life for the lessons they really are. You learn the most about yourself in those tough times. People don’t run marathons because they’re easy. They run them because you benefit more from what challenges you most.
3: Focus on one thing at a time. I know you’ve heard it before. As humans we are dreadful multitaskers. Statistically, absolutely awful. So focus on the one thing you want to complete in that moment. Think of a brick wall. The wall wasn’t built by lobbing ten bricks on top of each other all at once. A good wall is laid one perfect brick at a time. Not only that, but focussing on one thing at a time, makes the rest of the world a whole lot quieter.
Bonus: There’s only a few things in life worth giving a s**t about. So focus on those. Everything else? Meh.
