There will always come a time when you are at your lowest. Everything seems to be going wrong and you don't know what to do. Hopelessness starts to creep in. You start to feel like a failure. You start to make comparisons between you and the people around you. Comparison only makes what you are feeling worse. You feel like your goal is so close yet so far away. Frustration consumes you; it gets to you that you are the problem. No matter how hard you try, you end up at the start of it all; with nothing. Is this how you feel right now? Let me tell you what to do...don't panic! A lot of the pain we are dealing with are really only our thoughts.
You know that failure is a part of success. In my previous posts I have told you to view failure as
opportunity. How you choose to deal with your failures defines your character. Never giving up is easier said than done but once you start to cultivate that culture within you, there is nothing that will break you. Most of the success stories you know speak of people who have overcome great obstacles in order to be where they are now. Resilience and persistence for a successful person are must have qualities to progress in this world. If success was easy, everybody would be successful; but that isn't the case now, is it? It might feel that there is no way to move forward when you've hit rock bottom but there is always a way, you just need to look carefully enough to find it. Our worries and disappointments cloud our judgement and it becomes harder to find a solution to a problem when our minds are racing through all the things that we have done wrong. For you to progress and make the changes that you ought to make, you have to clear your mind of any thoughts that are not in alignment with your goals.
When you are at an ultimate low that is when you are about to have a breakthrough. If you are the type of person to give up easily, you will never get to enjoy the results of your hard work. How do you know that you are going through a breakthrough? You will start to face opposition from the people around you. People will start to question what you do and how you do it. Most people start to second guess themselves after a few negative comments from the people they trust. Block out the pointless criticism and focus on the bigger picture.It is usual to lose friends during such a time; not everyone will see eye to eye with you. During a breakthrough you will also start to question yourself. This usually comes from fear. Don't be afraid of your dreams; when your dreams don't scare you they are not big enough. Your end goal is achievable, believe that. We were all blessed with intuition; when you feel that what you are doing is what will push you further ahead in life then do not fret when you are confronted with opposition. Trust yourself. You know great things are coming when everything seems to be going wrong. Old energy is clearing out for new energy to enter. Be patient. It is always at our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light.
