No matter what type of achiever you are, there are times when life is going to try to knock you down.
I doesn’t matter whether it’s in business, health, or relationships. The difference between success and failure in our lives is determined by how we look and deal with these times – it shapes our destiny.
Do we see them as yet another roadblock in our life’s journey that cannot be overcome? When these times come, it is easy and natural to get down and we all get a “pass” to be sad or frustrated for a time, but pull yourself up by the bootstraps and get going again.
When you realize the roadblock is only a speed bump then it’s time to get back in the saddle. Life is not waiting. Time is not waiting.
Here are a few ways I deal with those times.
- Sit back and remember who you are and what you are meant to do on this earth!
- Meet up with friends and family who know you the best – people who center you!
- Look at the problem as a growing moment – it will make you stronger.
- I like to put on my Bose headphones and listen to some motivational music as loud as I can stand it.
- It’s ok to bawl your eyes out – get the pain out!
- Watch a video like this to get yourself juiced!
- Like Mufasa said “Remember who you are!”
Action Step for You: Burn down anything that is stopping you from achieving your destiny, forgive those that hurt you and stop making excuses.
