This summer the world will be captivated by the stories of athletes who spent countless of hours and years for only 1 purpose to become a medalist in the Olympics. We all know unlike professional athletes they are not doing it for the money. So what really makes these athletes special, 2 words – Mental Toughness! I can definitely relate this to our industry of Network marketing one of the great skill sets of my successful peers including is the incredible mental toughness we possess.
For example with most people when we want something so bad and grow impatient that it is not moving as fast as we wanted, we tend to get into the desperate phase where that thing that we wanted most moves further away from us.
Have you ever had these experiences? I am sure you have.
This “desperation phase” just doesn’t work.
Resistance only causes more pain, more struggle, and
more heartache.
So what’s the solution? Expect to succeed, and let divine providence take over,
Q. “But shouldn’t I plan my work and work my plan?”
A. “Yes, but be free of the attachment to the thing you think
you want.” Instead of having the constant struggle and effort for what you want, allow yourself to have fun in your day (enjoy the process) – do something different today for your business that takes you closer to your goal and let the
Universe handle the details…
Q. “Sounds “new agey” to me – I need practical advice!”
A. When you allow yourself to step back from the “rat race”
for even just a moment, you’ll find the very thing that eludes
you most – peace of mind – is highly practical – because
when you’re calm, your creativity, your passions and your
inner guidance come naturally to you and the understanding on what
it takes to become successful your business.
Q. But how do I “step back”, I have so much to get done?”
A. Well this is a technique that has helped me with my mental toughness,
Take 10 minutes today and find a quiet place just for you,
and close your eyes, and practice listening to your breath –
get in touch with your breathing – because your breath is your
life force – your Spirit – the rest will come to you naturally.
Visualize you success with your business, visualize you accepting an
award in a future convention
Q. “Thank you, that makes sense…”
A. You’re very welcome…
You see you can get strength and guidance and attract success
to you when you spend time everyday at least 10 minutes a day
thinking and visualizing what you want (I do it when I just get up in the morning
and just about to fall asleep)
“Let go and Let God”
By doing this You can harness this inner guidance, the mental strength and
feel very confident success is yours and it will happen.
So, before what you think you want shows up, let yourself
just be the real you in the meantime.
And let the real you Shine Brightly…
“With love and patience, nothing is impossible.”
