If you are a normal human being, you always have some challenges going on in your life. Challenges can be big such as finding a job or small such as getting late to your job due to heavy traffic or cancelled train.
Challenges are part of our lives. We don’t always need them but we still have them. We can sure do without losing our job or getting late to work. But how sure are we?
How can we be sure that we don’t need challenges? Nobody has seen the future. There is no time machine yet. So why is it that as soon as we face a challenge we think of it is as a bad thing? There are many evolutionary reasons for that. Our ancestors had to face tremendous challenges just to be safe and in all fairness it was very burdensome. Every time they had wild animals following them, it was in fact a bad thing. However, our ancestors soon discovered fire and other ways to get rid of the wild animals. They also discovered tools that could actually scare the wild animals. Total turnaround, isn’t it?
If there was no darkness we wouldn’t have discovered light – candles and then electricity. Wooh really big discoveries there! Electricity not only help us get rid of the darkness it has changed our existence, the appliances we use to our make our lives easier is just a quick example.
We are all part of this humanity that never stops thinking. And you see, even if you want to, you can’t help but think about things to make your life better. Sometimes it seems that challenges have come in your life just to annoy you but in fact YOU have summoned them.
As a firm believer in law of attraction, I believe that whatever you keep thinking about is what you will summon in your life. So if you keep thinking about making your life better, you are summoning situations to make your life better. Sometimes it can happen that you get a promotion in your job but sometimes you might get fired. The second scenario may look terrible but it can force you to find even better job or start your own business or change your trade to something you love or any other great situation.
It is normal and necessary to go into panic when challenges come in your life. It is our inheritance from our ancestors, our survival instincts.
When you face a challenge, accept it. Affirm that whatever will happen will help you grow in your life. Even if you want to give up, face it. Remember that only by determining that you will face a challenge, you can come up with a solution otherwise you will keep finding ways to run away. You WILL find your fire and face the wild animal, not only chasing it away but making it scared of you.
Everything in life keeps changing and moving, whether you like it not. Be part of the flow than resisting it and getting hurt. Embrace your future – no matter how worse it may seem because it never is. It is only your perception. This very challenge can be the stepping stone in you becoming who you were meant to be.
No matter how small the challenge is, getting stuck in traffic can rarely be seen as something productive but since you summoned it, take advantage of it. Maybe call someone you didn’t call because you were too busy. Enjoy the sky. Meditate for a few minutes.
Don’t get me wrong, you can’t always be cool throughout your challenges but if you stay angry and frustrated you can never find the solution because you are focusing on past rather than present or future. It is impossible to change the past and therefore you cannot change the situation by focusing on it.
Here is the step by step guide to face your challenge successfully:
1. Once you let all of your emotions pass through you – anger, frustration, panic, for about 10-15 minutes, accept the challenge that you are facing
