COVID-19: Facing the Future…Your Guide Rope
May 15, 2020Fly Or Die: Your Business Continuity Strategy In The Midst Of A Crisis
May 19, 2020Imagine the feeling of having peace of mind, prosperity and great accomplishment in your life and career in a time of pandemic such as COVID 19. Would that make you feel on top of the world? Is that feeling worth having?
Off-course, Yes!
I know how it feels as well. But the truth is finding success, peace, and prosperity has nothing to do with this pandemic. It’s got everything to do with YOU.
Yes, you are the only limiting factor. It’s not your skill or your depth of knowledge that’s limiting you, it’s your unwillingness to find success, peace, and prosperity when it seems so unlikely.
I know that isn’t what you expect, and is not comforting as well. But hang on a while. You are not alone, we are in this together. In this post, I want to share with you how you can make a difference in your life no matter what’s going on in the world. With a few simple adjustments to what you’re doing and how you’re thinking, you’ll begin to realize that you can find as much success, peace, and prosperity you want as long as you’re willing to do what it takes to get there.
Here are some Adjustment to make and thinking pattern to follow:
-
Have Less Control Over Other
Having less control over others gives you more control over yourself. As much as we want to control people sometimes to do what you want or do what you think is right, we can’t and that’s not a bad thing. Put yourself in their shoes would you want others trying to control you? Absolutely not!
You do have control right now… control of yourself and how you respond, act or think, and that’s all that really matters. How you are responding now to the COVID 19 challenge will determine your level of inference in your niche and industry.

Limit Your News Consumption and Observe Quiet Times
If you were to be in in a desert island where no work is, with what’s going on right now would you be at peace? I’m sure you’d have a lot more peace than you do right now. That’ an option though.
Much news does not help. It rather increases fear and anxiety. So, limiting your news consumption, having some quiet time when there are no distractions, or going on a walk. There are so many things you can do to make your life more peaceful right now.
-
The key to your success is in your hands
Once you can see it in your mind’s eyes and believe it, you can achieve it. With your mindset, actions, words, and knowledge you can do anything if you want it enough.
It’s only impossible if you think it’s impossible, and only when you start believing that you can do it will you be able to do it and achieve your desire success. You hold the key to your success.

How you should be conversing with yourself in any challenging circumstances.
When something changes, we are reminded that we don’t have control over it and that what happens there is nothing we can do about it.
So, we asked, and keeps asking why me? Why now? Why this? Why that?
These kinds of questions limit our minds to think, and causes blockages to our minds on what is possible. Then we’ll give in.
In a time of unanticipated, unsettled and upsetting changes, rather than asking why you should be asking and talking to yourself this way:
… What can this do for me?
… How can this change things for the better?
… What was happening before this that made this the “perfect” time for this change?
These kinds of conversations within yourself will open your mind to think and see lights of possibilities. It will help you to know the direction to take or how to navigate your way through the challenge at hand, and then make an informed decision.
No matter what is happening in your life, the way you respond mentally and physically can completely change how it affects you. So, I urge you to respond positively. Do not fight changes, do not ignore changes. Rather position yourself and your firm to leverage changes. Be receptive to changes.
You want to position yourself and firm to be an authority in this new legal normalcy?
