It doesn’t matter who you are life has a very unique way of adding challenges to our lives, yet most of us miss the seed of possibilities within every challenge.
However for most of us challenges tend to look like problems, not possibilities. Truth is even the toughest problems can transform your life and take you to the next level.
The question we have to ask ourselves is how do we overcome and get back to being the creator of our lives and stop just surviving.
Albert Einstein says it best:
“Crisis is the greatest blessing for people and nations, because crisis brings on progress… It’s in crisis that inventive discoveries and great strategies rise. He who overcomes a crisis overcomes himself without being ‘Overcome.’”
Five simple steps to thrive not just survive
- Step out of your comfort zone: We all like surprises, however we only like ones that make us feel comfortable. Don’t be afraid to stretch yourself a little bit every day. If you and I are going to make progress we must first decide to step out there and take action.
- Focus on what you can control: Often we focus on things that we can’t control which results in more of what we don’t want to appear into our lives. What we focus on has a massive effect on how we feel. Be careful where you direct your thoughts.
- Make a decision and hold yourself accountable: You must first decide and follow through with what you said promised yourself you would do. No one can do it for you. Do it now…
- See it as it has already happened: Once you have made the decision it’s time to see it as an already accomplished goal. Begin to take it step by step until the whole picture is painted in your mind. It will be a part of your daily thoughts which will help dissolve internal conflicts.
- Serve other people: Life is not about me it’s about “we.” The secret to living is giving, the more you give the more you get. Serve a greater good.
One thing we all can count on in life is change, however sometimes bad things can happen and it’s up to us to attach a “meaning.”
Attaching the proper meaning will provide us with a thriving mind set or a surviving mind set.
Choose to thrive !
