"It is not what happens to you that affect you, it is how you respond to what happens to you, that affects you" - someone said and I agree, especially when you experience unexpected problems.
I have been in many such situations and every time this quote came to my mind.
Whatever challenges you confront, focus on the future rather than on the past.
Instead of worrying about who did what and who is to blame, focus on where you are, where you want to be, what you want to do and need to do.
Get a clear mental image of your ideal successful future, sometimes it is hard but at least set out a direction to start with.
Then take whatever action to begin moving in that direction.
Get your mind, your thoughts in sync with your mental images and the actions.
What can I do to move forward from the given situation is the only way to boost your confidence and take you to the future.
Assess your strengths and weaknesses.
Refine, polish your strengths and definitely focus on your weaknesses to improve them.
Every challenge has a solution and if you maintain a calm mind, you can analyze the situation and find a solution to the problem.
Think and talk about the ideal solution to the obstacle or setback or the given situation, rather than rehashing on what happened, why it happened and who is responsible for it.
Past is past and is history.
You can't undo it.
'Present' is in your hands.
That's probably why it is called a 'present'.
Act today for a better tomorrow.
This should include eliminating negative attitudes like fear, guilt, blame about the past and worry, anxiety, nervousness about the future.
Undoubtedly problems sap your energy while solutions are inherently positive boosting your energy.
The instant you begin to think in terms of solutions, you become a positive and constructive human being.
Believe that something good is hidden within every difficulty or challenge that comes your way.
I personally believe that whatever situation I face at any given moment is exactly the right situation for my success, happiness and peace.
Have you heard of the saying, 'things always happen for a reason and go with the flow"? Do not resist.
Resistance causes tension.
Situations come into our lives to help us learn something, make us better, a chance to expand and grow.
They will bring out the dormant inner potential in us.
Comfort zone always makes us complacent.
A Positive Mental Attitude is indispensable to your success.
I learnt a lot by listening to excellent audio books by Anthony Robbins, Dennis Whitely, Wayne Dyer, Les Brown and many more.
They give enormous strength to deal with challenges of life.
Be positive, think about the future, focus on the solution, expect the best, plan and act as per plan.
Be prepared to detour if you need to.
Do not let fear or any negative emotion pull you down.
You alone have the control of your life.
You can make it or break it.
It is YOU and no one else can bring success and peace to your life.
Life is a field of experience and it is how you respond to the given situations makes a BIG difference.
Attitude takes you to higher altitude, some one said.
Believe it, have faith in your capacity, take charge and move forward for a bright future.
