Some thrive. Some barely stay alive. And the difference tends to be how you deal with certain adversity facts. Wanna know more about what they are? Good. Because that’s why I’m writing to you today.
Adversity facts are observable and quantifiable.
And that just means you can see and measure the results. But what results. Those results you’ll find when you either overcome or ARE overcome by life’s challenges.
Last time I wrote to you I talked about mental toughness. And mentally tough people thrive on adversity. Because they love to not only rise to the challenge, but also to rise above it. And move past. Those kinds of people are more comfortable outside their comfort zone. It’s almost like pain and unpredictability are their fuel.
Maybe you know somebody like that. And maybe YOU are somebody like that. I hope so.
Here’s another one of those adversity facts. You won’t be mentally tough until you learn to take negative opinions and actions, from others, and turn them into something positive. And there’s no doubt about it. You WILL have to deal with negativity from others. Because, sadly, there’s so much of it in this world.
So, work on emotional intelligence (aka: EQ).
OK, just one more adversity fact. And it’s all about confidence. I think this quote from Reid Hoffman describes it:
“An entrepreneur is someone who jumps off a cliff and builds a plane on the way down.”
Before you call me out on that, it’s not what I recommend or teach. But it sure describes total confidence. Right? And think about what Henry Ford said about confidence, “Whether you think you can or think you can’t, you’re right.” Confidence doesn’t require jumping out of plane with no parachute. Just keep moving forward no matter what.
It doesn’t matter if I think you can.
What matters is, do YOU think you can? And the best way to figure that out about yourself is to know your Vision.
So, that’s why the very first lessons in RondaReady YOUniversity are designed to help you discover your Vision. And they can help you focus your energy in the direction you’d actually like to go. With strategies to help you know how to get there.
