When THINGS Go WRONG # 2

It's easy to be positive when things are going right. What about wheneverything is going wrong from every angle in every area of your life?

What if no matter what you do, the hits keep coming?

Sometimes things go wrong. And it's so easy to let our minds take over and take us into a downward spiral as we indulge in feelings of self-pity. We start to think thingslike "Why me? Poor me? It always happens to me..." etc. Any of that sound familiar?

Well imagine you are a tennis player...

and you screw up a shot. Do you havetime to sit around and lament about how you should have done better...

Oryou got a bad bounce or whatever?

The answer is….No!

You have about 30 seconds to pull yourself together and then getready for the next point! Otherwise they are very quickly going tospiral downwards, perform badly... and invariably lose the match.

Take note of everything yousaid today. Did you talk about

things that went right? Did you focus on the good?

Do you know the type of people that complain all the time? You don't like talking to these people so don't be that person. Don't give energy or power to what you

don't want. Talk about and give energy and power to what you do want.

"Either change it, or accept"Either change it, or acceptit, but for goodness sakeit, but for goodness sakestop whining about it."stop whining about it."

So if it wasn't in your power to change, you had to accept it and let it go.

Sounds easy... three words... "let it go".This can sometimes be challenging to

do. If all you're going to do is complainabout it, obsess about it, stress about

it, cry about it, then LET IT GO!

Emotions are a choice! So you’re not saying don't be human and don't have emotions, but you are saying take responsibility for the choice. By saying you have a choice, that

presupposes you also have a choice to 'stop' doing them, and choose a different, more resourceful emotion in the future.

Growing means you will be forced out

of your comfort zone. You will make mistakes and you will have setbacks. Nothing worth doing was ever easy!

My mentor says "I have an amazing opportunity to grow right now" to anyproblem that just presents itself. The thing is, when problems arise how

do you view them? Do you think "oh oh", or do you get excited?!?

Whatever it is, when our world crashes, we feel it is just that - a crash!Looking back however, it was the crash we needed, to change

something in our life in order to grow and become more.

When you consider on all the lives you've affected, you’re reminded of your purpose.You’re reminded of the responsibility you have to walk in your personal greatness. You’re reminded of the joy and satisfaction you get when you see lives transformed.

Your purpose is greater than your problems or challenges!!!!!!!

When we stay focused and determined, we stay connected to our purpose. We stay connectedto doing whatever it takes to get

the outcome we strive for.

You have to stay hungry for what you want. Otherwise, you are just going through the motions with no real commitment, no emotional connection to the actions being taken. And you will soon tire from frustration and exhaustion and

give up.

Are you determined enough to keep going even when things go wrong? I am.And I hope you are, too, because someone needs what you have to offer.

Don't be a disservice to yourself and to others by giving up.

So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit. It's when things go wrong

that you must not quit!!!

The only thing is.... how long do you stay in 'pity land'? How long can youhave a 'pity party'? My personal rule

is one hour. Really, what a waste of time - just get on with it.

But ok if you want to shut out the world, have a cry and feel sorry for

yourself. Do it! Do it really well! After

that hour, get up and get on with it. As they say "Cry a river, build a bridge and... GET OVER IT!"

As you go through life, things will go wrong. Minimize the time you spendwallowing in what could have been and why things didn't go according

to plan... and instead focus on the key word "NEXT!"
