I don’t know about you, but I find life is full of challengers and everyday something turns up. If running your own small business, whether a brick and mortar or a home business, how do you cope with adversity? We all have our bad days and some may appear to be the end of life as you know it – taking it to the extreme.
There was a time when I struggled when I took it upon myself to join one of the Multi Level Marketing Opportunities to change my future. When I ran out of friends and family, with virtually no one turning up at the house parties and enthusiasm dying, I felt deflated, disappointed and it seriously bothered me. Was this the time to give up? Yes!
So what does it take to build a life of your own design? Well it boils down to a couple of things. Looking for the best and dealing with the worst….
When Thomas Carlyle (Dec 1795 – Feb 1881) completed his manuscript of the French Revolution, he asked a neighbour (John Mill) to read it. Later John turned up at Thomas’s house shaking and looking pale. He explained that his maid had inadvertently used the manuscript to light a fire. Thomas was left in despair. Two years of work up in smoke – literally.
Writing the manuscript was daunting enough, but thinking about rewriting it was just unthinkable.
One day he watched a stone mason building a wall. He observed it going up one brick at a time. This simple exercise inspired Thomas to rewrite the manuscript a page a day – similar to one brick at a time.
It was a slow process, but he persevered. The end result was much better than the original.
Jon Gordon writes; “if concerned about the future, then I know how you feel”.
He lost his job in 2001. The company sank quicker than the Titanic. He thought it was his worst day of his life. A paycheck away from losing it all, with a wife, 2 children and a mortgage etc. and no savings, he had to make some important decisions. Standing tall and not giving in led to the work he does today as a writer and a speaker. He went from being fired to being all fired up. Being laid off led to the accomplishment of his life’s mission. What he thought was his worst day turned out to be his best.
When the worst hits; you have a choice. Move forward with determination as the best days are ahead. Make a decision and learn to grow.
Don’t be a victim of your circumstances. See your situation as an opportunity. You can make the right choices. Refocus, retune and relive. Go out and get what you want.
You will soon learn it is not about the nuts and bolts, but how you show up with the nuts and bolts. Entrepreneurs and leaders make it happen.
So did I give up with my mission to change my life? No. I went on to find something else….
We can all aspire to achieve better things. It may be a case of changing direction and doing something you have never done, but always dreamt of. I’m helping people to think positively about the future and how best use their time. I believe that people can find a way within to pursue an idea and a vision. We all have the ability to take control of our lives, but many just don’t know it or how.
