I've
worked hard throughout much of my life. I still work hard and I like
doing so.
What I don't like is struggle. And
I've done that, too.
Working diligently at something we're
excited about doesn't seem all that hard. When we're confident that
what we're doing matters and we're making noticeable progress, it
rarely seems like hard work.
Struggle, on the other hand, feels
totally different.
Struggle is when you aren't making
any progress--or can't SEE any progress. Struggle is when you get
frustrated and have doubts about what you're doing or how you're
doing it.
The trick is to notice when you're in
struggle and then make the mental and emotional shift out of it.
Easier said than done.
Highly successful people still have
their challenges. They still face roadblocks and sometimes even
experience struggle. They just don't stay there.
 They have a different attitude. They
have more optimism and choose better strategies. They have
confidence in themselves and in what they're doing.
Here are seven steps to stay out of
struggle and in the flow of success:
| 1. |
Become
and remain clear about what you want and why. |
| 2. |
Keep
focused on intended results. |
| 3. |
Be
willing to change what's not working and keep doing what IS
working. |
| 4. |
Have
a sense of urgency but also be patient with yourself and
others. |
| 5. |
Use
obstacles and difficulties as learning guides--chances to grow
stronger and better. |
| 6. |
Stay
the course. Persist until you break through. |
| 7. |
Appreciate
the fact you have the freedom and opportunity to pursue your
dreams. |
