Life can be crazy at times! You can set plans, do all the right activities to make them happen. But then they get held up! What can you do? You have 2 choices: quit or push on! A blackbelt in ANY martial arts system will tell you to push on! This is having a blackbelt mindset!
How do you push on when you decide that you will push through even when things don’t go according to plan? Here are some simple things that my leader, Dr. Reggie Cochran taught me. But I’ve also observed in EVERY MARTIAL ARTIST I’m friends with!
- Decide to push on! Everything will hinge on this!
- Regroup! Take a day or 2 (not more than that! Success loves speed!).
- Come up with a new plan to get what you want. For example, I want to be a writer and network marketing leader in my company. But a business trip I wanted to go on to help with writing didn’t come to pass even though I’ve paid for it! So, I’ve taken a few days and come up with a new plan. And it comes down to my going back to what I know to do.
- Keep your new plan simple! KISS means Keep It Super Simple (I know there are other variations that aren’t so nice). Remember: the shortest distance between any 2 places is a straight line. Figure out the straight line. Then do it.
- Get a coach! Ask for help! This is a sign of strength, not weakness. Even Jesus went to His Father for help! And if He had to: that’s an example for the rest of us.
- Find the money! Usually the things you want aren’t free. But are worth the cost.
- Take all out massive action on what you need to do. And IGNORE the naysayers!
You can have the life you want just adopt a new mindset! Become a blackbelt in your mind! From there, it will come to pass! As long as you don’t quit!
