What To Do When Everything Seems To Go Wrong?

Have you ever experienced a time in your life when everything seems to be going wrong for you? You probably have. In fact you may even be going through such a time now. Don't worry. All is not lost. There are steps you can take to push through the gloom into sunshine.


One thing that I understood well was that I had to push through those hard times in order to experience the great times. So I came up with a little motto to help me do just that. The motto goes like this:


"Pain and fatigue are just a test, to sort the champions from the rest!"


Most people never become successful because they give up when the going gets tough. The champions on the other hand move up a gear and drive their way through those tough times and come out the other end as winners enjoying the spoils of their victory.


Are there some practical steps you can take that will help you through the gloom and out into the sunshine? Yes there are. First of all, ask yourself if there is anything that you are doing, or failing to do, that is causing the hardship or perhaps unnecessarily increasing the hardship.


Examine your thoughts, habits, actions, decisions and choices to see if you can improve on any, or all, of them in such a way as to help your situation. If there is anything that you can do to improve your situation then do it. If you analyze your thoughts, habits, actions, decisions and choices and decide that you are on the right track then the difficulties that you are facing could be just a matter of chance. All life is a matter of probability. What you are doing with success strategies and tactics is seeking to move the probabilities into your favor.


Success strategies really do work and they really do increase your likelihood of enjoying a successful life, but that doesn't mean that things can't go wrong for you from time to time. Most people, no matter how successful, will suffer hardships and setbacks from time to time in their life.

If you are confident that you are on the right track then the best strategy is to increase the amount of goal directed action that you are taking. A heavy load needs a strong back. So when your burdens start to feel heavy it is up to you to increase your own strength. Increase your strength of action. Increase your strength of will. Increase the strength and quality of your knowledge and delegation and determination.


It is that fighting spirit that will strengthen your character.


Edison, the great inventor, was famous for his persistence, regardless of the setbacks. He once said that most people who give up have no idea just how close they were to success.


If you intelligently apply massive, goal directed action, assess the result, decide on the next action needed, and then massively apply that action you will win. You will get to enjoy the fruits of your labor. But by far the greatest win you will have is the strength of character that you develop while lesser persons are giving up.

Perseverance - How Not To Be A Quitter

The Definition Of Perseverance

From a dictionary: "Persisting in or remaining constant to a purpose, idea or task in spite of obstacles." Notice it doesn't start, "Wisely persisting..." Perseverance can clearly be a both a good thing and a bad thing. Remember that when you find yourself wanting to quit something. Quitting might be the wisest choice.

Of course, the problem with the idea that you should quit when something isn't worth the effort, is that it's often used as a rationalization. It comes to mind when the effort is difficult, but really is worthwhile. It's confusing at times, so how do you wisely persevere? There are three important aspects to consider.

Keys To Wise Perseverance:

1. Self awareness: Notice when you look for excuses, rather than truth. Are you letting fear or laziness cause you to quit or procrastinate? If honestly watching yourself is difficult, explain your reasoning to a friend. Close friends may be more likely than you to know when you're rationalizing. (Think about it from the other direction and you'll see this can be true.)

2. Costs and benefits: To wisely persevere, you need to see the costs and benefits of what you are doing. If moving to Hollywood to become a star is going to cost you your business or family life, you have to see that clearly before you decide. An honest and good decision requires honest and good information.

3. Motivation: Once you've made a decision, and you're sure you made it for the right reasons, you have to motivate yourself. In fact, perseverance requires that you regularly re-motivate yourself. Write goals down, do daily affirmations, and whatever else you have to do.

Habit is the most powerful secret of success. Practice watching yourself to make self-awareness a habit. Practice analyzing costs and benefits objectively, and practice motivating yourself. By the way, there are many good motivation techniques, so if what you're doing doesn't work - go read up on them and try something else. That's perseverance.
