Mistakes and Challenges Are Your Best Teachers

Success is a wonderful journey, but like any worthwhile long trip you will take, you will inevitably encounter a few challenges along the way. These challenges may even knock you down for a while. The secret to inviting sustainable success into your your life and business, is to spend as little time as possible licking your wounds after encountering any challenge as possible, before you pull things together and get on with your journey towards the success you have envisioned. The measure of who you really are is never found in the fact that you got knocked down in the first place, but rather how long you allow things to keep you down, before you begin taking the action necessary to get you back on your feet again.

Choose your Attitude Carefully
You have the ability to choose your attitude and level of happiness. You can either allow things to get you down, where you feel overwhelmed or you can make a far better choice, where you choose to view any challenges as merely vehicles, which are moving you closer to hidden opportunities. When something difficult happens in your life, choose to see it as something that is merely polishing you up, something which will make your life or business better. This small shift to the way you see your world, will result in massive improvements to the way you feel and will also empower you to manage any challenges which will cross your path far more effectively.

Mistakes and Challenges are your Best Teachers
Learn the art of exploring every mistake or challenge and use them as profound and powerful teachers, which will propel you to greater levels of wisdom and knowledge. When you look at challenges and mistakes and see them as learning opportunities, you have made a crucial shift, where you can find ways to always get something from every challenge or mistake. It then becomes possible to celebrate your mistakes and thereby, turn them into something positive. On the other hand, when you allow challenges or mistakes to overwhelm you, they become a negative experience, which disempowers you. You learn nothing from each experience, as you merely try to just get through each challenge or to put each mistake behind you as quickly as possible.

Commit to Learn and Grow
Challenges are opportunities to learn and grow. Never measure your performance against any challenges you are facing or have faced. Only question yourself when you keep repeating the same errors and facing the same challenges over and over again. Encountering challenges is never the measure of the level of success you can enjoy in your life or business. How you choose to learn as much as possible and respond to any challenges or mistakes, will decide how much success you will get to enjoy in the end

Make the Shift Today
What you get to experience in your outer world is an accurate reflection of how you are thinking, acting and projecting your inner world to everyone around you. If you are constantly experiencing frustrating situations and people are always treating you badly, and then have the courage to read the signals and accept that something is out of sync, with how you are respecting and treating yourself. You need to make some meaningful changes in your life. Choose to make the shift today and operate from a centered, balanced and connected place. See mistakes and challenges as learning experiences and opportunities in disguise and you will have discovered the secret to uncover your brilliance and live their excellence.
Rise to the challenge and realize that you have a unique capacity to shape your life. Search around and especially within yourself for the kind of growth, which will shape and fulfil you. This challenge may seem impossible, but the effort will most certainly be worthwhile. Remember even the highest mountain can be surmounted by building winding pathways.

Challenges are merely The Push You Need to Succeed
The challenges we face every day, are really only opportunities. These Challenges are disguised as the push, sometimes unexpected, which we often need to get us off our butts. This push forces us to take the necessary action, which will help us to improve our lives and businesses. Make the shift today and focus on the potential good in every challenge or mistake you may make, instead of wallowing in self-pity or allowing yourself to feel overwhelmed the next time you are faced with any challenges in the future.

How Are You Making A Living?

Are you an employer or an employee? Do you live from paycheck to paycheck or tending your own business? Do you want to work for yourself? Do you have what it takes to work for yourself or you want to work for somebody else all your life? What are your dreams and aspirations? How passionate are you about working for yourself? Your answers to these questions will largely determine how you make a living. I do hope you are aware that if you are determined to work for a paycheck, you may work all your life without ever escaping financial anxieties and worries. If however you have decided to think and act like an entrepreneur, you can work for yourself by tending your own business. If you stick with that long enough, chances are very good that at some point in your working career, you will overcome financial worries and anxieties. No matter how long and how well you tend somebody else’s business, you will perpetually live from paycheck to paycheck.

Everyday, all over the world, millions of people get up early, grab a quick breakfast, and leave their families and homes to go to work. Many make a mad rush through traffic as if the world in coming to an end all in a bid to get to work in time. The only thing that collectively drives these millions of people to act that way is called “work.” It is work that enables people to make a living. How you work and who you work for determines what you make out of work. So, whether in the formal or informal sector, work is the dominant activity in many people’s lives throughout the world. If you must live, work is a necessary evil. Many people do not like work but because they have to live, they work all the same. The people who work for themselves are more likely to keep on working than those who work for a paycheck. That is what makes the difference in the way both groups make a living. Those who work for paycheck work because they need the paycheck. The people who tend their own business work because they love what they do. That creates the differential in their rewards.

In making your own living, who are you working for? When you report for work daily, whose purpose are you fulfilling? If you work for someone, no matter how good you are or how high up in the business, you are dispensable. That is the major cause of anxiety in the work place. You are employed to help the business achieve its objectives. If someone else takes over your position, he or she will be required to do the same things you do in order to achieve the objectives of the business. That is why you can not afford to rest easy in your employment. However, when you tend your own business, such fears and worries do not constitute your major concerns.

When you tend your own business, with time, you become what you do. No matter how long you work for somebody else, you can not take your identity from that business.

When you mind someone else’s business, they may be achieving their objectives, but you can not. It doesn’t matter the big name you are called or how big your paycheck is. The fact is, your boss or the owner of the business will always make more money than you. I doubt if your sole purpose to making a living is to make somebody else rich and not yourself.

When you tend your own business, you work to acquire beneficial knowledge and skills faster. That way, you can always get on top of problems quicker. Major investment decisions with attendant risks can be taken more quickly without fear of reprisals if they fail to work out. There is abundant time freedom and independence when you tend your own business. What you make is in direct proportion to how well your business is doing. That way, you get richer faster than someone living from paycheck to paycheck. According to best-selling author of Rich Dad Series, Mr. Robert Kiyosaki, “the poor and middle class work for money. The rich have money work for them.” The rich tend their own business and drive it in any direction that suits their fancy. While the paycheck earner spends most of his money on consumables, the man who tends his own business invests to expand his business thereby earning more from his investments. As the business grows, he grows with it. Before too long, he may even become financially independent while the paycheck earner will be busy pleading for a bigger paycheck. No matter the size of his paycheck, a paycheck earner often manages to spend it all and a little bit more besides. That keeps him perpetually in want of a higher paycheck.

When you work for money, you gradually develop employee mentality. That makes you powerless and almost a slave to your paycheck. But when you stop minding other people’s business and start minding your own, things start to happen differently to and for you. The way you live and make a living changes as well. Same thing happens in your business and social circles. You are able to dream dreams and do things always in the direction of realizing your dreams. There lies real freedom which we all crave for.

I do hope you will not get so busy minding other people’s business that you will forget to mind your own. If you do, you will eventually get too busy making a living to the detriment of living your life as ordained by your Creator. I doubt if you can afford that.

Laugh Away Your Stress!

Have you laughed today? Did you know that globally we are laughing less than we used to in the last century? What are the benefits of laughter and how can we have more in our lives?

The International Congress of Humor reports that laughter is down in some areas up to 82% from the 1950's. In the 1950's, people laughed on the average 18 minutes a day and today the average is only between 4-6 minutes a day. We are much more serious than we used to be! Part of the reason for this may be because electronic media such as, television, computer, Internet, video, CD's, and audio equipment, has reduced our social interactions and laughter is a social activity.

In fact, laughter usually occurs in groups and some believe uncontrollable laughter only occurs in groups. Try laughing out loud when you're alone and see if it feels forced or natural. Most people would find it feels forced and a little unnatural because laughter is involuntary and almost impossible to fake.

Laughter happens more naturally in social interactions. Laughter builds relationships, creating camaraderie and lessening our sense of isolation. In groups when some are laughing and others are not, it becomes evident that people have very different senses of humor. A sense of humor is the ability to be amused and laughter is the physiological response to humor. While many believe a sense of humor cannot be taught, it can be developed by paying attention to what others find amusing.

Why would we want more laughter in our lives? As a physiological response, laughter has many health benefits. When someone laughs, all of the body systems are engaged. Laughter reduces the level of stress hormones, including cortisol, epinephrine, adrenaline, dopamine, and growth hormone, and increases the level of healthy hormones like endorphins and neurotransmitters. As a result of these physiological activities, laughter may help fight off illnesses and diseases like heart failure. After a good laugh, stress reduction occurs when overall good feelings, happiness, and deep relaxation are generated.

In addition to the health benefits, people who laugh a lot don't worry as much as those who don't laugh. A laughter break can help us gain fresh perspectives and new insights about our problems and conflicts.

Laughter, like crying, can provide an excellent physical and emotional release. Laughter can also make us feel happy and create a more positive state of mind by breaking the painful emotional grip of fear, anger, guilt, stress, and boredom.

Be a friend to yourself and enjoy the many emotional and physical benefits of laughter and humor. Lighten up and, for the greatest benefits, share a laugh with others!

Procrastination: The Enemy of Purpose

You can control your time but you can never stop the progression of time in itself. Time waits for no man. The Scriptures says there is time for everything (Ecclesiastes 3:1-8). A time to be born and a time to die. What will define your legacy is what you do in between when you were born and when you die. If you must make impact in this world then you have to be in control of your time. Can you imagine the countless numbers of 'would-have-been' composers, authors, inventors, Preachers, Presidents of nations, actors, etc but they never realized their dreams simply because they were friends with procrastination. Time is an equal opportunity employer. Each human being has exactly the same number of hours every day. Rich people can't purchase more hours. Scientists can't create new minutes. And you can't save time to spend it on another day. No matter how much time you've wasted in the past, you still have an entire tomorrow. Do you know how many would love to give up their place in the grave in exchange for a fraction of the opportunities they once had? I bet you know the answer. Procrastination is a Castrator of destinies, flee from it! Every single day that you live brings you a step closer to your end and every opportunity you lose in between may never be regained. The question you may be asking is how do I deal the deadly blow to procrastination? My answer to this question has always been:

Do it now! - Procrastination most times come in a subtle manner, it gives you a wide range of options, leaving you a false impression that you will always have the time to come back to that project but in reality it has succeeded in putting a nail on the coffin of that particular task. Don't wait. Don't keep putting things off. Do it now! Take that step. Don't give room to fear or sentiment. Don't wait until when your strength wanes. This is the right time to start and move ahead. Don't be entangle in the web of procrastination. You do not have all the time in the world. Hit the ground and do it now.

Don't Overcrowd your Schedule: when you overcrowd your schedules, there is the tendency that you may not be able to finish up your task. There is nothing wrong when you carry-over uncompleted tasks from the previous day but there is a possibility that this will degenerate into a cycle of uncompleted tasks that will spiral out of control. Unfortunately, we spend more time on the non essentials and by the time we come to the essentials we discover that we are either so stressed out or we barely have enough time to complete this. To help you have control over your schedule, you should delegate the less important responsibilities to others who can equally do the job and eliminate tasks that are altogether unnecessary.

Reduce Stress: Everyone at some point in time had been stressed. When you are stressed, it's difficult for you to focus and become productive. At this point, my advice is to stop whatever you are doing and have some time to relax. Don't make it all work and no play. Maintain a balance between your work and time for leisure. It's not how long you work that counts, it is how smart you do your tasks. Develop a healthy leisure time. When you unwind, it helps to reduce your stress level and get you up and ready to go on your next assignments. On a working day, allow block of time for work, play and rest and make sure this is balanced. This will make a difference in how much you are able to accomplish.

Be Charged up: When you are not motivated about what you are doing, then you are opening the door for procrastination to set in. Discovering your purpose helps you to live your full potential and this keeps you motivated. What is it that gives you joy and a sense of fulfillment? That could be your purpose and you will discover that you are always motivated to work in your purpose. Procrastination can easily find a companion in someone with a weak motivation. Find your purpose and you will have peace and motivation concerning what you do.

Develop the Skills required: imagine you have a task to execute but then, you do not have the skills required for the assignment. You can either decide to postpone the task to the time when you have acquired the skills needed or eliminate it altogether. When you do not have what is required for an assignment, you are tempted to procrastinate. If what you are doing is important to fulfilling your purpose, then go ahead and acquire the skills you need. There is no price too great for you to pay. Aim high. Stay on course and don't give room for procrastination to eat up your dream. God bless.

Positive Thinking Leads to Success

Positive Thinking Leads to Success. Positive thinking is very important to succeed in life. Individuals who start struggle with the inclination in mind that the goal is impossible cannot succeed in the achievement of their goals. Their failure is the result of their negative thinking because in this way they are half beaten in the start.

Your attitude in the start is negative therefore the problems cannot be fixed. You should ask from yourself; Are you sure it is impossible? You can make it possible with your efforts, good planning and strategies.

Most of the individuals don't want to indulge in difficult tasks because they shirk from hard work. But those who are determined and confident win every kind of situation because they believe in the dignity of struggle. They set their minds that everything is possible with constant effort and proper planning. They have positive thinking in their mind which leads them toward success. You cannot succeed in life without struggle and positive thinking.

If you have firm believe in the achievement of your goal with constant efforts then you will get it. Nothing is impossible in life if you focus on the achievement of your goal. If you think that something is impossible, refresh your mind to rethink because you can make it possible. You need to plan and make good strategies to achieve it. When you will try at your best and make strategies to solve the problem then you will feel that you are a foot away from the goal.
