How to Become More Like Jesus: A Guide to Living With a Positive View of Self and Life

By Ivy The Amazing

Twas ever a marvel to ponder the fortitude of those most revered and holy in life, who takes ahold of their time and purpose and cast their course to ultimate peace and contentment. I speak of none other than Jesus of Nazareth, who, when faced with the direst of circumstances, strived ever to be of good report and happily willed to do as the Father's own intent.

Truly, there is a trait we can all seek to find within ourselves, for Jesus ever-remained a positive guide for his followers, knowing that all would be met atop life's peak, with the sweetest and most joyful presents. Thus, it stands firm that a positive view of self and life can and will lead the way to ultimate fulfillment. But what are the steps to such a deed?

As Jesus did in his time, so too can we remain steadfast in pursuit of our own aims. Be it programming, art, music, or language studies, never losing sight of the sweetest reward that tenfold awaits when one's purpose is truly expressed. Many things can be a distraction in life, and whether you’re faced with unforeseen challenges or just low motivation, embrace the end goal and stay focused on the purposeful path.

At any turn, when faced with a problem, seek ways to use it as a positive force. As Jesus did, learn to find joy in conquering the obstacle and be appreciative of what you are learning on the way. Problem-solving can bring great flows of creativity, immense satisfaction, and personal growth, and with such, you will find yourself motivated even more to continue achieving.

Set your eyes lovingly ever before on the true delights of life. No matter the situation, know that beauty and blessings await from every corner and be thankful for each and every one of them. Two-hundredfold the efforts and joys the reward — for great life, come great yoke — once the challenges are met and shared.

In the footsteps of Jesus, if one can remain steadfast in purpose, harness the positive and remain attentive to life, then truly, anything is achievable. Have faith, seek solace in the Lord, and become more like Jesus over time.
