Turn Challenge into a Success Tool
The world we inhabit is constantly changing and new challenges cross our paths daily. These ever changing times require that you start to stretch yourself beyond your self-imposed comfort zone and means that you must accept that there are going to be many occasions where you will be forced to plunge headfirst into uncomfortable situations. True, this will cause some pain and discomfort for a moment, but it's the quickest path to generating long-term fulfilment and sustainable success. Change and challenge are synonymous with success. As you enter a path of growth and you choose success over mediocrity, you will most certainly encounter challenges and roadblocks along the way. None of the challenges that you will encounter on your path to success are reserved only for you and your circumstances. They are merely a fact of life and the natural process, that anyone who chooses to stretch themselves, will encounter. Almost every challenge that you will encounter on your path to success has most certainly be encountered and overcome by someone before you. Learn the art of expecting challenge, welcoming it and viewing it as merely a part of the journey to uncovering and living the success you desire.
From this moment forward know that challenges are just a part of the success process and in many ways a very necessary part of that process. The challenges that you encounter, are very often the very catalyst that unlocks, opportunities that may have remained hidden, had you not encountered that specific challenge. In the future when you are faced with any roadblocks or challenges, do not let them overwhelm you, keep going and know that every challenge is just an opportunity to learn and grow. There is light all around you and challenges are just an integral part of the journey toward new and better outcomes in your life.
The one certainty, in our lives right now, is frequent challenge, as challenge seldom happens in a vacuum. We can either allow the challenges that cross our paths to control us and our futures or we can consciously anticipate, work with and/or around every challenge we encounter. By learning to co-operate with challenge, you can uncover and utilize the numerous opportunities that these challenging times offer and discover a vehicle to assist you to realize your dreams.
Shift you thinking away from viewing any challenge or roadblock as a crisis. What picture does facing a CRISIS create in your mind? By simply changing the words you use to describe events in your life, you will immediately feel very differently about them and your responses will become more effective. See and describe everything you would traditionally have viewed as a crisis as a merely a challenge, that you expected and just one step closer to the outcome you want to achieve. Challenges after all are just events, that when viewed differently are opportunities in disguise. Many new ideas, concepts and opportunities will emerge after encountering any challenges or obstacles, if you are willing to slow down, search, discover and learn. Any challenge you may face may be a time of testing, but it is also an opportunity for renewal and growth.
Look at what life is reflecting back at you right now, this reflection was created by your thoughts, actions and beliefs. If you don’t like the reflection, you can change everything by simply changing the way you do things. Accept that not all the changes you make, will deliver the desired results. If things don’t work, adjust your approach but never a give up. All progress requires change, but not all change is progress. Change the way you view any challenges that cross your path and the challenges you encounter will change from a crisis, into something expected and useful.
