Is it possible to be loved and taunted at the same time? Can you challenge yourself to become better? Have you ever felt like you are hanging in the middle, and it seems sometimes like “life is not fair”, and at other times, “I should be grateful for what I have”?
You are constantly on the edge, and you don’t know what to do. You feel like you have no control over your life. Sometimes we all need a little guidance when it comes to dealing with our emotions; in this blog, I would like to show you some actions that will help guide you through those tough times of feeling provoked or challenged by other people’s achievements.
The reality about life is you will find yourself, at one point or another an unsatisfied position.
This past year I have drawn really closer to God and the one thing I notice with my relationship with him is the personal process of sacrifice that he takes me through.
So I am learning, there is a process here. It starts with my rest in God and my ability to depend fully on him. By becoming intimate with his grace and trusting in his mercy and being calm enough to listen, I believe today that there is no situation that I cannot put under control.
What if the hardship is part of the process for you to get better? Have you ever considered this perspective?
You can challenge yourself to become better.
You feel loved most times, but inwardly you often feel challenged to become better. Sometimes we don’t have the passion, or the drive to go for the things that we seek. Even though we desire it, we are not always performing at the necessary skill level as the person that owns that accomplishment.
This is why you and I need to grow into that person, you need to become a certain character to attain that capacity. As a coach, I empower individuals and organizations to grow their emerging leaders to high performance. Passion is important to attain success in life. Growth in potential means becoming someone different.
When you grow and you have a mindset that God is your source, and visualize a new image in your mind, then success is inevitable. You believe in yourself and what you can create or build. You have what it takes to be in control, of the choices you make and the decisions you make in life.
Everybody seeks to have success, but what does it take? What would you need to do? I think there are 2 actions that you can start taking today that will help you move forward fast.
Challenge yourself to become better by clarifying your desire.
Start with a conviction of what you believe you can achieve and become, by opening yourself to learn what you don’t know.
You may realize that you’re weak and do not have the capacity to step out of your comfort zone. You may even say to yourself, I don’t think I have the ability or skill set to do this. But if there is one thing I have learnt in life, it is the truth, that was rightly phrased in the Zig Ziglar quote “You don’t need to be great to start, but you have to start to be great” What you need right now is an “I can do” attitude.
It is OK to not have it all figured out, it is OK to not feel like it, it is OK o not fit in. All of these lacks or inability of yours does not mean that you don’t deserve to become someone more successful. It is just a phase in your journey of life.
The characteristics you need to have to progress further in this phase include patience, persistence, tenacity, resilience, and determination.
Challenge yourself to become better by renewing your self-image.
What I mean by this is, change the story you are telling yourself about yourself. Unfortunately, this change is internal and cannot be controlled from the external. It is motivated by the intrinsic motivation of who you want to become. The change starts in the mind, and It requires that you see yourself in a new form.
The attitude of your mind must be new. This means you must intentionally put on this new understanding of what you can become, by visualizing yourself as that person, acting as they would act.
So, let’s say you want a particular role in your career as a manager, you will start seeing yourself as such, acting as a manager would, and visualizing a typical day as a manager. This is what grounds your belief and it is your belief that guides your behavior.
Take action today! Challenge yourself.
It doesn’t matter where you are in life, you can begin again. The principles of success and path to create a happy life will require you to be intentional, resilient, and persistent. The most difficult change is the transformations within you because you will be wrestling against present realities and experiences.
You will have to create the unknown, by stepping out of the present into the future, which requires that you are always fully present and focused.
You must train your brain to accept your new creation, you must take steps to feed it with possibilities and a drive towards opportunities. But first, this means you must be clear about what you want, and I mean a clear and not a fuzzy picture. One attribute is being able to say no to what does not align with what you want.
At this point, there will be the need for you to believe in a higher power because there are principles of the supernatural that will help you attract the things that you want in life.
Also getting support from a coach or mentor are very important and believing you can, whether or not someone else believes in you or not.
Are you loved but taunted? Get rid of your old way of thinking and take on a new way of thinking, stay consistent in pursuing your goals for 60days and you will begin to see changes in your consciousness, your character, and the way you carry yourself or the things you do.
Many people are provoked to act, but most choose to complain and remain a victim or do nothing about their life circumstances. Have you ever wondered why you’re on earth? Do you know the meaning of life?
You can’t always get what you want, but if your desire and skill level are both adequate then it should be within reach. Sometimes it’s easy to feel like you’re not loved, but the best perspective to have is to see your life as a gift. You must believe in something bigger than you, to be successful and have an abundant life.
You must trust that there is a bigger purpose for your life. Take action today, challenge yourself, take the following two steps.
- Pick one area of your life, and decide on what you want to create.
- Make a list of all the skills and knowledge you need to create your desire.
