Horrible situation,isn’t it? You had a dream, a vision, did everything you could and then boom you are hit by a tsunami of toughness. Why is this happening to you? you are wondering. Why after so much hard work I get this? What have I done wrong?
Most of us who build up their dream experience this situation. It is hard to be true to yourself and follow your dream,but you know sometimes things happen to toughen us up, they happen with a reason. Nothing is by accident in this life. I have always believed since I was a kid that the tougher life is, the bigger success you will have. Does not make sense? I remembered hearing about Tina Turner’s life story and what she got through with her partner, what humiliation and misery she had to experience to become a star. Then another time I watched the life story of Celine Dion, who chose to fight against mediocrity,poverty and limitations of others and she has sold over 200 million albums.
You look at successful people and you think they come from a different Galaxy. But they are not,they used to be ordinary just like you and me.
They didn’t follow the rules, they made their own rules.
Didn’t obey the small minded people around them, but prove them wrong.
Didn’t bend over in front of problems, obstacles, family losses…contrary it made them realize they have no choice but to succeed.
What all successful people have in common? I tell you what it is self awareness.
Are you aware of the strong negative emotions and how they can affect your thinking?
Self awareness is the most important brain optimization tool. Without it you are prone to experience the same patterns that caused you being negative and lose focus.
Negative emotions will make you feel disappointed, uncertain and discouraged. Are you gonna let an emotion ruin your day, influence decisions or break relationships? You will kick yourself if you do.
Here is how you can focus when you are disapppointed.
1. Make your own rules. Be true to yourself.
Failure is a subjective matter. Instead of being rigid you should focus on what you have accomplished and what lessons you have learnt from that experience.
2. Don’t let disappointment paralyze you. It is not the end of the world buddy.
Focus on the process of building your success. It’s easier to be mindful when focusing on the action steps. By doing this you will your days up with meaning,eagerness and accomplishment.
3. Create your own luck. Take off the veil off your eyes and see the opportunities that life has to offer you.
Dalai Lama once said: ” Sometimes not getting what you want is a wonderful struck of luck “
4. Work hard is not good enough. Instead work smart. Make a choice for the life you want and then commit to it.
Have you ever felt uncertain?
Uncertainty is fear of something. Fear of losing your job, fear of losing money in your business, fear of not paying off your mortgage…it’s all fear. It is in our human nature to fear,but get over it. Fear something does not help you,it destroys you. Fear is a disease like cancer, it spreads slowly until it owns you and your body.
Fear will never disappear. You have to learn to live with it and here is what to do
1. Be friend with uncertainty.
There are lots of moments in life when you feel uncertain and you should get comfortable with it. Don’t fight against it ,but embrace uncertainty.
When we are uncertain our brain starts predicting how things will turn out. We are blinded by fear of what is going to happen? and can only see the present situation. We put the negatives ahead of us.
The solution here is to reinforce that in the distant future you will feel grateful for what you cannot imagine today.
2. Use visualization to keep you focused. It will help you switch off the outside voices and only focus on yourself. Visualize what your business would one day look like even if the present moment there is no sign of ever getting where you want.
Visualization trains your brain to have previous experience doing things you fear doing.
Do you experience tough moments in your business? How do you cope with uncertainty or disappointment?
