Triumph Over Disaster.......

Life isn't always easy.
We all have curve balls thrown at us.
The question is how you deal with it.
As a Business person, Mentor, Coach and Speaker this is the main issue I challenge clients on.
As we approach the half Year time frame do not focus on what you do not want.
Start looking at what it is you really want.
What we focus on is what we get.
Triumph Over Disaster
The biggest difference between winners and losers is their ability to cope with adversity.
Life is going to throw issues/problems in your path. Sometimes the challenges will be physical, other times they will be financial. Sometimes they will be difficult people, or a natural disaster like a fire or earthquake, but sooner or later, life challenges each of us. And here's a key point:
Our response to "small" challenges is a much better predictor of our long-term success than our response to the so-called "disasters" in life.
Disasters are big! We cannot deny or avoid them; we MUST deal with them. When our home catches fire or an accident puts us in the hospital, everyone understands that we MUST deal with these things.
It is no accident that Winston Churchill described the Battle of Britain as "their finest hour." When emergencies strike, we rise to the occasion.
The real test is with the "termites," the "little things" that are so easy to ignore. Things like paying our bills and living within our means. Things like managing our weight and staying fit. Things like time for loved ones, for rest and renewal.
These things are not dramatic and they are not urgent. We can delay taking time for our kids. We can neglect our health for a long time before obvious problems occur.
Recently I saw a biography of Donald Rumsfield, and one of the points they made is that he "moves toward problems; he never turns his back or walks away." That is a sound strategy!

Lean towards risk
High achievers in life expect challenges. They know that as they move forward in life, problems will occur. Unexpected things will happen, and they maintain an attitude of optimism, humour, strength and resolve in the face of difficulties. They know that as they become ever more successful, the size and complexity of their problems will grow. How could it be any other way?
So, here are a couple of keys to solving issues/problems:
The key is understanding how life really works, that challenges are how we learn and grow. Life is about what we learn and what we learn to do. Expect "interesting" situations. Taking them in stride builds your confidence. Never fear trouble; expect to triumph over it!
Life is all about learning and change, the day we stop learning and changing is the day we stop living and being successful!
