The Situation

I’ve been reading a few emails I’ve received recently and the common theme has been a discussion around struggle and opposition. As we reach for success and make the effort to sustain healthy motivation for change we encounter to bothersome stuck states.

Stuck states are those conflicting situations where we have made up our minds to make a change for the better and our intentions are set to take positive action and yet we find ourselves unable to take the first step. We can be stuck on bad attitudes, negative expectations, fear of failure or toxic relationships among many other possibilities.

The Scenario

Whatever the case may be, the bottom line is that there appears to be opposition to your success motivation goals. It is important to realize that your journey is your own. However, many others have gone on before you and have overcome failure and walked into personal success. You are not alone and there are solutions for your challenges.

You can and should expect conflict on your journey to success. You have to decide here and now that you will enjoy the success journey of your own choosing, expect positive change, except responsibility for your outcomes and see opportunity at ever turn.

The Solution

The greatest determining factor in breaking through your barriers to success, getting unstuck and out of failure patterns is to choose opportunity for success instead of opposition to success. What do I mean? Simply, that you must change how you interpret your challenges. Every instance opposition in your life carries and opportunity for you to learn, live or give. Ask yourself the following questions when you face a challenging situation:

1. What can I learn about myself from this situation? (What attitudes, character traits, choices, etc. does this situation reveal about me?)

2. How should I live in the face of challenge? (Choose courage, faith, love, hope, etc.)

3. What can I give in the situation? (Give yourself another chance, give your time to help someone else, give the gift of forgiveness for some offense, give up your own pride, give up on negative thinking)

Your perspective will be your directive in overcoming your challenges. By developing the habit of seeing opportunity for success instead of opposition to success you immediately place yourself in the winners circle. Success is the result of simply believing in yourself and choosing to persevere. But you have to be see the world positively. If you see your world positively then you will expect positive results. If you expect positive results you will take positive action under any and all conditions of life.

The result is that you will not get stuck or stopped by conflict or life challenges. You will be motivated for personal success because of hope that is born of a positive expectation. An expectation that you can indeed change your life by changing your mind. Upgrade Your Mind™ is what your success is all about.

The opportunity of opposition is that every challenge we face is but a moment where we can make choices the learn more about ourselves, live bigger instead of smaller and give more of ourselves to others instead of less. The opportunity is to always choose to live bigger instead of playing life smaller.

Your success becomes available to you once you are willing to own your dreams, have the determination to break free from negative thinking and negative choices while never giving up as you take positive action in the direction of clearly defined goals whose motivation is your success and personal happiness. When you change your mind, you will change your life.

To Your Success Transformation,

Your Comments

Hello:

Just found your blog and many interesting motivational articles.

I can see you're a powerful self motivational force because it reflects in your writings.

You're doing a great job.

I agree with you.

Every obstacle in life should not be looked at as such but as an opportunity for creativity, growth and upgrading our minds and beings.

Reality is made up of two opposing forces, (positive and negative) which compliment each other.

Those who do well and shine in life are people who understand this secret, embrace it and put it to work for them making them fabulously rich, successful and happy.
