Your determination to be strong and steady in difficult situations could make it easier for you to cope with any problems that might arise today. Being aware of the fact that difficulties will surface at any time in life may allow you to go with the flow and accept the things that happen as simply part of the process of life. Should you come across any obstacles today, you might consider trying a simple affirmation -- a few words to repeat mentally -- that can give you the strength and patience to weather them. Affirmations such as "This is only temporary" or "Everything has its purpose" might help you realize that whatever you experience, no matter how uncomfortable, has meaning and can be opportunities for growth.

Affirmations are wonderful tools to help us cope with the glitches life throws our way. Not only do they remind us that our situation is not permanent but they also enable us to train our minds to take a more positive perspective about what is happening to us. As we keep our minds busy with our words or phrases, we free ourselves from our worries and are then able to use our energy to remain steadfast and patient with everything that arises. We begin to see everything as a process instead of a series of isolated events. Using affirmations today will let you see that nothing is ever the same and will help you find the strength to deal with your life with a positive frame of mind.
