Ask yourself this: What is a goal I’ve achieved that I never thought I would?
In this thread and some upcoming ones, I would like to start asking some questions which can push us into positivity reinforcements and gratitude starting with the above!
I'll go first and rest you can join me in,
The goal which I achieved was simple but just being healthy throughout this year, I always struggled with fitness but now where I'm, I made a lot of improvements and I'm proud of my past self who took the decision of excercising and I'm happy that I did it!
@kabir22 Great idea, anything that makes us think about the positive is so needed cause we see and suffer from so much negativity that it becomes a permanent guest, comes by very easily and doesn't wanna leave.
Health is an amazing thing to focus on, I kinda have the same journey too and as you said such positive steps by our past self are so much appreciated in the present. Small and simple steps yet so important<3

I have attepted things I thought i could do and failed like playing guitar. I spent a year taking lessons and practicing every day but still could not keep time.
I have never attempted anything I didn't think I couldn't do. Why would I?

Since i have spent my time doing possible things and building skills i have accomplished a lot. If i had spent my time trying to do things i am not prepared to do I would have accomplished very little.
I thought I could learn to play guitar but spent 100's of hours and hundreds of dollars for nothing. Imagine trying things I know are out of my innate ability. Not impossible to do but it makes the effort less desirable because of the small chance of success.
P.S. I have never set goals in a formal sense. I just try what i am interested in. If they show progress i continue. When they don't i move on to something that might.

Still being alive, and having plans and hope for the future beyond just struggling to survive. I'm in college and doing well, I got my driver's license and bought a car, and while I'm still pretty hard on myself and still struggle socially I'm getting more confident. All of this might sound like really basic stuff, but when I was a teenager I was too mentally unwell to go to school and could barely speak, and now I'm essentially a healthy, just a bit high-strung person.
Hello 7Cups community,
I never thought I would get accepted into a Masters of Architecture program because of my poor academic performance/low gpa. However, there is one American school that pre-accepted me. I am so happy, I could cry. The admissions counselor at that school told me about this several years ago. I reach out to him from time to time, to encourage him to remember me. I am also happy that I had a chance at starting to study a Masters of Divinity/Master of Theological Studies degree program at 2 local Canadian seminaries. (I had done 2 undergrad Bachelor's degrees in architectural studies at 2 Canadian universities.) Please pray that I would be able to complete all my God-directed/enabled studies. Praise the Lord.
