That’s why it is important to build a track record of successes” John Whitmore Pensée de la semaineWednesday, March 25th, 2009“La croyance en soi, c’est ce qui fait ressortir le plein potentiel et la performance chez un individu. D’ou l’importance de répéter les expériences de réussites.” John Whitmore Using adversity to get what you wantMonday, March 23rd, 2009You have had a setback. You face adversity. You feel like a ‘failure’. You can be demoralized or you can learn to use it. How do you usee adversity to your benefit? Sit down and make a list of all the potential benefits coming out of this ‘adverse’ situation. The major secret of just writing the list is that it will change your focus from what you don’t want to what we do want! Your attitude will change. A new perspective on things will appear. Successful people know that, if used productively, adversity will bring about new and good things. The secret: knowing how to ask the correct question. What do I want? And begin answering the questions until you arrive at a new understanding of the situation. A new perspective. Think of things in a new way. Focus your mind on the possibilities instead of the disasters…Find ways of drawing on your inner resources (and you have many) and then take action. Napoleon Hill in ‘Think and Grow Rich‘ writes: In adversity, “Look for the seed of an equivalent or greater benefit”. When you look for the seed of an equivalent or greater benefit and work on germinating it, good things happen. What seemed like a terrible outcome can contain the very thing that will propel you to success because you will have unleashes positive forces inside of yourself, which include motivation and imagination. Then get on with it. |
