In preparation for this week's blog I found myself digging through some personal disappointment. I wanted to find something that not only I can learn from but something I can share with others so that they too may learn from.
This month has been one of especially tough times or my family and I. I won't get into all the details because frankly we all have our own problems we deal with and what fun is it listening to people gripe about their problems! Each of us are faced with moments where we feel exasperated, perhaps like it can't get any worse! Ironically a large series of events occurred for us right before I was supposed to travel out of country and during a time of immense opportunity! Talk about frustrating!!!!
The opportunity? The company I work for, Nutrie, announced a new system that I am through the roof excited for! It WORKS BEAUTIFULLY! I was fortunate enough to get in on a portion of the first wave of action and WOW! That's all I'll say... Wow!!!
Needless to say my game plan is in place but is formulating much slower than anticipated and I found myself mentally getting in to a rut. I was annoyed... I was doubting myself again (insert audio of Napoleon Hill - love listening to him) What I'm getting at is this: I hit a speed bump. My eyes left the road and I drifted.
Now I find myself back on course but struggling to hit my goal. I lost valuable time! Oh yes, had I followed my coaches and mentors and put in more work, worked smarter, faster, and had I closed my ears to negativity and doubt... had I just been true to myself, I'd be attending what I'm confident will be a brilliant training seminar! I could meet new people, confident of my success. Yup. I'm mad at myself.
So the upside to all of this? I see where I went wrong. I know what I have to do. I became indecisive. I was approaching my problem from the wrong end. I got hung up on HOW when I should have been focused on WHY. It is a valuable skill that one not get caught up in the moments of failure but to pause, reflect, regroup and GO AGAIN - WISER!
One of my favorite quotes through life has been 'It has to hurt if it's to heal'. I believe I've taken that to be my motto of sorts. Life gets rough but don't give up and you'll get through it. Pursuing your dreams will present obstacle after obstacle. Don't look behind you, don't take your eyes off the road. Stay focused on the course ahead of you and always remember WHY your dream is so important!
