Overcoming Adversity with GRIT!

Life is sure to provide you with one thing- ADVERSITY. The sooner you ACCEPT that there WILL BE PROBLEMS, that not everything will be easy, you will have the AWARENESS that at times you WILL BE TESTED! The QUESTION IS... at those times when everything SEEMS TO BE GOING WRONG, how do you deal with it? Do you QUIT? Do you fold, tell yourself that it wasn't WORTH IT anyway... you know what I mean. OR... do you double-down, GRAB LIFE BIG and FIND A WAY! Forge your path, crush your limits? Only you can decide. I've learned that it takes the SAME ENERGY to dwell or complain as it does to retool, DIG DEEPER and go right back at things again! Maybe you just need to CHANGE YOUR APPROACH, get a COACH or find a MENTOR who has been there, who has ACHIEVED what you want to accomplish and fast-track towards your goal. STRENGTHEN YOUR CHARACTER, believe in you and NEVER GIVE UP!

CHANGE YOUR STORY...

POINTS TO CONSIDER:

• The difficult times in life help us appreciate when things are going smoothly.

• Look for the learning opportunities in every adverse situation.

• Decide whether you will allow your experience to make, or break you. Depending upon how you choose to perceive it, it could go either way.

• Be prepared to accept the worst, should it occur. When you have prepared yourself mentally for the worst, it rarely ever happens, and if it does, it seems less so because you are better equipped to handle it.

• Cultivate faith, courage and resilience. The more of these qualities with which you are armed, the lesser the impact of the adversity.

• Remind yourself that adversity is part of life. Accepting adversity, helps you overcome it.

• Get a Coach or Mentor to help you get clear on your Goals & Objectives
