Some CHALLENGES become difficult to overcome, especially when the odds are stacked against us. Going against all odds, is something we’re capable of doing. However, to overcome challenges you need to have that never quit attitude in your own life and psyche. If you develop it… you’ll overcome quite a bit. I am sure of it.
Motivate yourself. Say, YES I CAN.
The challenge should bring out the best of you in this situation. Slow it down, think that process though… completely. Develop that confidence by saying there’s no way you’re going to fail at this. If you develop that mindset, you’ll get it done.
Stay calm and cool headed when you’re facing serious troubles and problems in personal life as well as on the job. You have to collect yourself and calm down. You can’t panic your way through it. Take a deep breath, relax, and slow down. Think things through calmly. Then, and only then, move forward.
Let failure fuel you in a positive way. Most people will avoid any challenge because they’re scared of failing. Running from a challenge(s) IS failing! Everyone fails at times. It’s not how many times you get knocked down that counts. It’s how many times you get up in life that matters. You’ve heard that, right? Believe it! If you fail the first, second, or third time, don’t give up. Pick yourself up and learn from why you’ve failed. Move on in a positive direction.
Simplify the problem or challenge you’re facing. Break it down into steps; then work your way to the top of it. You have to work from the bottom up. Work through each step of the process of overcoming this particular challenge. However, it all starts by breaking it into steps. As you get through each step, you develop more confidence that you can get it done… you will.
Maintain being positive and confident. Overcoming a challenge, you have to believe you can really do it. You have to find out all the ways you can overcome it and put it to full use and effort. People overcome all kinds of challenges everyday. I believe that challenges aren’t nearly as hard as presented… most the time. It’s our own mental limitation(s) that’s the difficult part. When you get into the mind frame of doing it… mentally, then you’ll actually be able to do it. Get strong!
Think the best, not the worst, possible outcome. What can really be the worst thing that happens if you don’t overcome this challenge? Do you lose something extremely valuable? Are you afraid you’ll be mocked? Are you afraid of being labeled a failure? The most successful people have been labeled these things at one point or another. How do you think they overcome challenges in their life? They’ve been through the process of not doing it before. BUT… instead of staying defeated, they used these parts of their own lives to become who (what) they are today.
Learn from watching sports… especially Pro Sports. Sports are a great way to watch, learn, and understand how to overcome challenges. We, as viewers, get to see in these pressure situations… then watch as the team overcomes the challenges. Sports for us, are a way to experience and witness that anything is possible. Yes, anything is possible!
We are given this opportunity each and every day to not only accept challenges in LIFE, but to rise and succeed as we deal with them. LIVE BOLDLY!
