I am learning that everyone comes to a crossroads where they have to admit they have a limitation. This is not a sign of weakness but evidence of inner strength. Don’t be fooled, many people can do the first step and admit, but do not take the next steps to get them beyond their limitation or find the supplement they are lacking. Not taking the steps only puts them back in a place where weakness prevails over the will to succeed and overcome. It’s hard to overcome with a weak will. I see many people in this position and I too have experienced such deficits. It’s that place where there are many anecdotes that overwhelm us or none that have the potency. I find we all get those chances to come back around to deal with the cycle that plagues us. It’s the opportunity we get to deal with the limitation and maybe even in a different situation. I would like to offer this simple anecdote that I am finding to be favorable:
- See the reality of the limitation and realize that the human potential is still yet to be completely realized. (Admission and confession is only rivaled by the grace given to overcome)
- Learn to be still and “THINK” about what it’s worth to get to the next level
- Look, search, read and investigate in order to surround yourself with potential solutions
- Build trusted relationships with people who have overcome. This will take some vulnerability on your part. (Friends are great to encourage and build up but usually won’t push you hard enough to breakthrough. That is why you need people in your life who are where you would like to be)
- Be diligent
- Be willing to adjust your pace
- Keep negative people far away from you
- Don’t quit even when it hurts
- Journal your progress
- Set up a rewards system for key milestones
I can’t wait to see you with your new strengths and capabilities. Feel free to share what you have done in your life to overcome.
