Too often we focus our frustrations on ourselves for not achieving a particular goal or for making a particular decision, both of which do not materialize in the manner we had hoped. Our mood dissolves any condition of love for self, which in turn prevents us from being able to better love and influence others. We interject negative self-talk that mentally becomes damaging and not immediately noticeable.

This negative energy we produce is known as "catabolic" energy. On the visual front, it is negative, destructive and causes us to be limited in our beliefs and victims to our circumstances. Instead, we must accept the fact that we are not perfect and each setback is simply discovering what does not work.

The mindset of discovering what does not work produces an "anabolic" energy, which is positive and allows us to discover the greatness which lies within us. When this happens we grow in strength mentally and physically and in turn often positively impact others. These others include those who are walking through life with us and/or those in our sphere of leadership and influence.

Each of us are a one of a kind creature who was made in the essence of Heaven for greatness. We must love ourselves for who we are and what we can become. Life will then bring forth a bounty that we have perhaps seldom if ever experienced.
