Often times when things get tough, or tougher, we can fall into a pattern of doubt...this leads to feeling like every arising thing, even the good ones, are more obligation and obstacle, than opportunity. This is the time to reframe your thoughts...opportunity, opportunity, opportunity...even if you don't believe it at first. Soon your thoughts will lighten, and the pattern of doubt will transform into a pattern of faith and optimism.
