In a world that is constantly changing, having a growth mindset is essential to success. The COVID Pandemic is leading the way by stifling the growth and progress of many people. Don’t be one of them. If you are not growing, then you are dying – there is no staying the same – and no matter what your situation there are opportunities for growth.
Here’s how to grow through what you go through:
What goal have you been working towards? Has this current world situation of COVID-19 put things on hold? Has it been hard to get to the results you wanted? Like nearly everyone, you have experienced setbacks, pain, and frustrations.
I want you to consider the PRIZE and the PROCESS.
The difficulty you are experiencing in the pursuit of your goal is normal. Pain, adversity, and failure are just a part of the process that you must go through…even extreme difficulty like business and gatherings being shut down, and the world being turned upside down because of a virus.
Focus on the PROCESS rathe than the PRIZE.
Do you believe in yourself? Do you have confidence in your abilities? Do you believe you can navigate through this crazy time period?
Maybe you have a dream of something you want to do…or something you want to become, but you are just not sure if you have it in you to pull it off. And in the midst of these crazy and unpredictable days you are questioning yourself now more than ever.
“When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it.”
-Henry Ford
Remember this quote the next time you are facing a difficult situation. It’s only when the wind is against the plane that it is able to take off and soar. This is also true in our own lives.
You’re true character shows when you’re facing adverse circumstances. When you feel beat up and beat down, that’s when you remind yourself that this is your time to shine. It’s time to turn this adversity into your advantage. Here’s how:
1) If you cannot fly then run, if you cannot run then walk, if you cannot walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving.
2) Faith is taking that first step even when you don’t see the entire staircase.”
Success is about making small adjustments.
In 1983 Korean Airliner 007 took off from from New York City headed to Anchorage Alaska and then on to Seoul Korea. When the plane took off from Anchorage, there was an error of about 1 degree in the flight plan, and that 1 degree difference had a huge impact on that flight and the fate of the 269 people on board.
Be thankful in all circumstances. Not FOR them…but IN them!
Today in America, we celebrate Thanksgiving. We take a day to pause, reflect, and give thanks for all that we have been blessed with.
One of the great things about life is that regardless of who you are, where you live, what your income is, what your age, or where you’ve come from….you have the ability to choose every day what you will focus on.
Have you been talking about what you are going to do, rather than just doing it?
Do you talk about getting in shape? Do you talk about saving money? Do you talk about finishing your degree? Do you talk about that book you are going to write?
If so, isn’t it time to stop talking and start taking action?
| Attitude check! Your attitude is a little thing that makes a BIG difference. |
I don’t think anything has ever been written that better describes the importance of attitude than these words from Chuck Swindoll.
“The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think, say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill.
