Running away only increases the distance
(The following motivational message is based on the David and Goliath incident in the Bible)
Running
away from a problem only increases the distance between you and the problem. It
does not solve any problem.
I
too agree with many present day motivators that perception and description can
create a difference. How we perceive a situation and how we describe a
situation is very important in overcoming or conquering the situation. The
perception has a key role. The description continues the perception. You may
solve, overcome and conquer the situation according to your perception and the
description of that perception.
Empowering
words applied to any given situation makes a lot of influence on the attitude
towards it, the method of solving or overcoming the situation and the final
victory. But no empowering word in
your dictionary can help you. It doesn’t really matter how powerful these words
are if we don’t use them. Nothing
happens unless we actually apply in life what we learn. The power of any
skill or strategy is in its application. If we make it a habit to consistently
incorporate the things we learn, even the simplest of life skills will have a
profound effect on our life.
So use empowering words for describing any situation in your
life.
What
is a problem?
A
problem is any undesirable difficult situation that poses a hurdle in your way
of progress. It is the mountain in your way. It is the huge rock that tries to
block the smooth flow of the river.
All
such difficult situations can be perceived in two ways:
Problem
Challenge
Repurpose
the situation
Words send signals to our brain
The
words problems and challenges send entirely different messages to our
brains.
Subconsciously,
having a problem means,
“There’s something wrong here.”
Our
mind hears,
“This isn’t right, life is not as it
should be.”
By shifting our wording from 'problem' to
'challenge,' any situation can be repurposed.
So the next time you're tempted to say you're
having a 'problem,' say you're having a 'challenge,'
There
are no problems in life, just challenges!
Problems or challenges
Problems
or challenges are a recurring part of everyday life.
Whether
you choose to call them challenges or problems, certainly they happen.
However,
it does change the way we respond to them and that little shift can make a huge
difference.
Every
problem is caused by us handing a situation badly. Problem condemns us for our
action that missed the mark.
Problem
is an accuser.
So
we feel that it is our responsibility to regain the status quo.
It
means that we must struggle just to get back to where we were.
We
are accused and it is our sole responsibility to make everything right.
So
the struggle begins.
And
our whole energy is utilized toward repairing the situation though it may not
be profitable at the end.
This
is not a very empowering state of mind.
Challenges
send a different mental message.
It
tells our mind that everything is great. So great in fact, that we are ready to
take on something new.
To
our subconscious mind, challenges are represented as opportunities. We see
them as a way to move up to the next level. It’s our chance to demonstrate
what we’re made of. Challenges urge us to untie the boat and sail towards the
other end.
A
challenge encourages us to recruit our inner resources and to view the
situation as a new opportunity. This is a very empowering state of mind.
All
problems are challenges. No challenge is a problem.
Problems
are to defeat us. Problems are to destroy us.
Challenges
are to test and prove us. Challenges sharpen our talents. Challenges are to
overcome
Challenge is an attitude towards a problem. Challenges
are turning points in our life.
Challenges are what make life interesting; overcoming
them is what makes life meaningful
Challenges are blessings in disguise. Their purpose
is to encourage our soul's pursuit of enlightenment. Challenges are gifts that
allow us a chance to better our lives, not to worsen them.
So
learn to use the Challenge instead of the word problem.
The
situation is the same. The mountain is the same. The storms are the same. But
our attitude towards it is different. It really makes a big difference.
With
challenges we are not struggling to maintain the status quo, but we are heading
towards the next level of success.
Challenges
are positive, and though they may seem disturbing at first. They prove the
essence of why we are here on the planet.
FACE THE CHALLENGE
Be motivated
Why
should you accept the challenge?
Live as a
victor not a victim. Do not die as a victim. Even if you die in the course, die
as a winner. Death during the war is heroic.
Place
yourself always on the winning side. We are conquerors.
Fame,
prosperity, health, happiness, peace etc are the profit of conquering a
challenge.
Do not run away
Running
away only increases the distance between you and the challenge. Challenges do
not abandon a coward but yields to a brave. So stand firm and look into the
eyes of the challenge.
Those
who are running to escape a challenge are running from opportunities. Every
challenge conquered is a mountain added to your wealth.
All winners are fighters
The
only permanent solution to any problem is to conquer it. The success with a
challenge is to overcome it.
Victory
always demands a good fight.
Only
fighters are winners. Only those who run races are winners.
Do
not fight your war with substitutes. Gather strength from all resources. You
may be fighting the war with the aid of weapons and hundreds of soldiers. Still
the fight must be yours. Only those who fight win the war.
Declare your strength
Do
seek your weakness. Weakness is a foil to your strength.
An
expert in a particular area is better than an all rounder.
Everybody
has a history of conquering one or other mountain in their past life. Life is a
continuous struggle against numerous odds. So look back and see the mountains
you have already conquered. If you have already conquered one mountain, you can
conquer the next one too.
Keep your posture
Every
warrior should take a posture before the action. You are preparing for another
conquer not for another defeat.
Every
challenge is like a giant calling out for a fight. Every giant has his weakness
for you to conquer it. There is nothing formidable in this world. Slowly the
weakness of the giant will reveal itself. Strike at his weakness. He is willing
to yield to the winners.
Conquer the challenge
Challenges
enjoy conquerors. There is a way to conquer every mountain. There is a method to swim across the river. There
is a way to conquer every challenge.
Strike
at its weakness. It will yield to a persistent fighter.
