We all face tough and difficult challenges in life. Some are more difficult than others to overcome, especially when the odds are stacked against us. Going against all the odds, is something we are capable of doing. To overcome challenges you need to have that "never quit" attitude in life.
- Motivate yourself. Say YES I CAN. The challenge should bring out the best of you in any situation. Slow it down, think the process though. Develop the attitude that there is no way you are going to fail at this. If you develop that mindset, you will get it done.
- Stay calm and cool headed. When you are facing serious troubles and problems in life. You have to recollect yourself, and calm down. You cannot panic your way through it. Take a deep breath, relax, slow it down. Think things through calmly.
- Let failure fuel and fear you in a positive way. Most people will avoid any challenge, because they are scared of failing. Running from a challenge IS failing! Everyone fails at times. It is not how many times you get knocked down that counts. It is how many times you get up in life that matter. If you fail the first, second, or third time, do not give up. Pick yourself up, and learn from why you have failed, and move on in a positive direction.
- Simplify the problem or challenge you are facing. Break it down into small steps, and work your way to the top. You have to work from the ground up. Make the challenge easier than it is. As you get through each step, you develop more belief you can get it done, then you will.
- Maintain being positive and confident. To overcome a challenge, you have to believe you really can do it, find all the ways to overcome it, and put it to full use and effort. People overcome all kinds of challenges everyday. Challenges are not nearly as hard as presented most the time. Depends on exactly what the challenge is. It is our own mind that is the difficult part. When you get into the mindset of doing it mentally, you will actually be able to do it. You cannot do it, until you get there mentally.
- Think the best, not the worst. What can really be the worst thing that happens if you do not overcome this challenge? Do you lose something extremely valuable? Are you afraid you will be mocked? Labeled a failure? The most successful people have been labeled these things at one point or another. How do you think they overcome challenges in their life? They have been through the process of not doing it before. Instead of staying down, they use these past experiences to help overcome them in the future. Do not let anything stick to you, then you will be able to overcome all challenges you face in your life.
- Learn from watching professional sports. As silly as it seems, sport is a great way to watch, learn, and understand how to overcome challenges. When you watch teams, players, all the time in tough spots. We get to see them overcome challenges under pressure. Sports are a way to experience and witness that anything is possible. That anyone can overcome a great deal of difficulty to succeed in our world. As the saying goes, "anything is possible."
