When Things Aren't Going The Way You Planned

For a lot of us life is not perfect and nor do I feel I would want it to be. When we seek out to do something and especially for the first time we are presented with obsticals or challenges. These challenges tend to start a downward spiral for not succeeding and we tend to give up. What Iv learned and still learn is that these obsticals, challenges or problems are there to help us grow and become a better person. These "problems" teach you to take another approach and keeping a positive mindset your appraches get close to achiving success. You are using your brain as it is intended to be used. A very powerful tool at our disposal... Everyone have a great day/night

    For me it seems like when something goes downhill, everything does. Sort of like when it rains it pours. These times I have to work especially hard to make things start working better for me.

      It sure seems that way, doesn't it? There are a couple of ways to approach that flood:
      1. Yay, it's all coming and once so I can get it over with quickly!
      2. I'm obviously a slow/resistant learner (to life's lessons) and need a blunt instrument to the head to make me realize that my beliefs/thoughts/actions are not creating the circumstances I really want - and this is the universe's way of saying "You're doing it wrong! Figure out a different way!"
      3. Sometimes a catastrophe (or a series of smaller crises) serves as a purifying sort of fire that burns away all the stuff you thought was really important but isn't, leaving you with an awareness of what is important and true for you
      4. Sometimes an avalanche of negativity paralyzes you into inaction - and that can be the most wonderful thing because it forces you to just "BE", to accept what you cannot change, and gives you an opportunity to contemplate a better way.
      5. Is "your way" the only way? What if the way you were headed is not right for you, and everything going all wrong is just a helpful re-direct? Open that other door!

      So, it's all in how you look at it :-)

      Believe me, I've had my share of "this has GOT to be the final straw" moments that ultimately produced the most delightful results, as long as I remained patient, open and allowing, and trusted my intuition and took only inspired action, not reaction.

    As always it is always a good idea to have a contingency plan or plan b up to z, just in any case this ain't going to plan then you have something set already for the next thing that would happen.

    The importance of personal development in order to achieve success. For me anyways. Once I started to change my thinking, my results started to change around me. In everything I was doing, not just my Internet marketing business.

    If I could start over again the first thing I would take up is improving myself to become a better person at everything I do. That is priceless in my book. Looking down the road and past instant gratification.

      True, true.

      We all have life lessons we have to go through in order to understand things at a deeper level than before. For example, I had to stick to my ex-girlfriend to understand that love isn't about clinging (lol).

      It's also true that there are people out there who will eventually be our 'mentors' in someway. If you look for it in that manner, you are more likely to understand things at a broader perspective.

      Also, never get too emotionally involved. When you keep your composure right, your body healthy and your emotions stabilized, the world moves into your favor.

      All "bad fortune" streaks eventually end, unless you make it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

      Fire me a pm if you have a question. I build businesses and provide consulting. I do not do finance/money/internet marketing niches. Fitness, self-improvement and various others are welcome.

    Great stuff. One of my biggest challenges now is keeping the mindset! It builds charactor as for me its a challenge to keep this mental mindset where I am clear and have a clear path to myself and where I want to bring myself and my business.

    What I mean is it just seems most are caught up in the daily gossip and do not understand about taking charge of your own life despite of anything else around you. I guess what that means as well as I seemed to be more easily concerned what people where thinking about me.
    No offence but who cares! Its where I believe I am going and how I am going to get there that matters. Nobody or Nothing is going to stop me. Sure, Im going to fall down and probably hard at times but you know what!!!!! Im going to keep the focuse and get back up and continue on and learn as to why I fell down in the first place and don't do it again.

    I'll see you at the top!
