What You Need To Do When Life Gets Hard
By Shawn Lim
It is not easy to go through life especially when you have something bigger in mind that you want you to accomplish.
If you read the biographies of all the successful people such as Steve Jobs, Richard Branson, Thomas Edison, Albert Einstein, Elon Musk, etc., you will discover that all of them gone through tough times before they accomplished amazing result in their lives.
You will have to go through the same when it comes to living your dreams. Tough times and hardships are inevitable.
You have to understand that difficulties and challenges are there to grow you, not to stop you. They are tests from the higher power to develop you into the successful person you want to be.
So what do you need to do when life gets hard?
First, understand that tough times and difficulties will come, and there is no way you can avoid them. In fact, it is the challenges that you face that will make you successful. You simply cannot achieve the success you want without going through failures.
Failures and mistakes will come, but you have to treat them as lessons and feedback. Tony Robbins, the world-famous success coach, once said, "Success is the result of good judgement. Good judgement is the result of experience. And experience is often the result of bad judgement."
Once you understand that failures, mistakes and setbacks are there to grow you instead of stopping you, you can then deal with them with a more positive perspective.
Next, remember your purpose. Why do you do what you do and why do you want to be successful? Your purpose and your reason to achieve your goals and your dreams will motivate you.
They are the core reasons why you take action in the first place. Thus, revisit your purpose. If your reasons are not strong enough, you will give up and quit when the tough times come.
This is why people often say that the 'why' is more important than the 'how'. When you know why you want to achieve something, nothing can stop you from doing it because you are clear about your reason.
However, when you are unclear and when you have doubts, you may quit and give up when life gets hard.
Finally, do understand that success leaves clues. And what it means is that whatever you want to accomplish in your life, someone has already done it.
Therefore, what you need to do is to seek help from others. You can read books and learn how others have done it. You can find yourself a mentor who is willing to guide you and coach you.
No matter what you want in life, you can always find help from others. Ever wonder why every great athlete has a coach and why every successful business person has a mentor? This is because you cannot succeed alone and the path to success has already been laid down to you.
All you need to do is to follow the footsteps of those who have done it and seek their help.
So, remember when life gets hard, understand that it is something unavoidable, remember your purpose and always seek help from other successful people who have done it.
