Nine Hurdles To Success And How To Conquer Them
by Ineke Van Lint
Everybody
wants to be successful. So do I. So do you. What makes somebody
achieves his dreams and another one does not? A successful person has a
dream and won’t give up. He cherishes his dream and does whatever
it takes to get there. He overcomes the obstacles he encounters on his
path. He does not complain, asking himself : "Why does this always
happen to me?" But instead he looks how he can take action to overcome
the obstacle.
Does a winner has to face less obstacles than a loser? No, not at all,
but his attitude is different. When he faces obstacles, he reacts
differently than the loser.

On
your life path you will have to jump over a few hurdles. Accept it and
move on. You will also need to conquer several kinds of resistance.
The most common ones are:
1. Fear of the unknown. People get used to the familiarity of the past
and are afraid of anything new. This might lead you to decide to leave
everything just the way it has always been. A winner knows that
sticking with the old ways will never lead to satisfaction. |
2.
Fear to get involved. If you do not have the habit of engaging
yourself, but rather passively undergo what others decide for you, then
you will have to create new habits that give you the feeling you are
actively creating your life, choosing what you want and making an
effort towards your goal.
3. Fear that others will leave you. When your environment has gotten
used to looking at you as a weak person, undecided, unhappy or sad,
then you might be afraid of changing. Maybe you are afraid of losing
their attention if you no longer show weakness, illness or fatigue. Is
this the reason why you want to keep the status quo? Do you really want
to continue suffering from the low vibrations of disease, despair,
complaining, just to please your environment, afraid of losing their
attention once your are successful?

4.
Fear of success. If you got used to looking at yourself as a failure,
not capable of doing anything right, then the idea of being successful
might be quite uncomfortable. In this case you need to expand the image
you have of yourself and start accepting that you too can succeed and
be happy, and enjoy abundance in your life.
5. Refuse to be tested along the way. Be aware that you will be tested
along the way, in order to make sure your choice is clear and firm,
that you are sticking to your decision to walk your own path. The
firmness of your decision and the depth of your engagement will be
proofed. Accept this and move on.
|
6. Negative
thoughts about life. Carrying negative beliefs about life will make it
difficult to attain success, riches and happiness. Make a list of all
your negative thoughts and systematically replace them by positive
ones. Encourage yourself on your way to success instead of cutting
yourself down.

7. Refuse to start anything before you are 100% sure to succeed. You
will never have absolute certainty as your mission is constantly
unfolding as long as you live. Look at it as a journey. It’s a
process, an itinerary, where the important thing is who you are
becoming along the way rather than where you are arriving. When you are
experiencing more energy, joy, enthusiasm and wealth, then you can be
sure to have made the right choice. This ought to be enough to dare
take some risk and take some big decisions.
8. Being oversensitive to remarks from people around you. To complete
your mission and stay your course you need to learn to face negative
remarks from your environment. Surround yourself with people who
support and encourage you, and ignore the remarks of those frustrated
people who prefer cutting you down over taking charge of their own
life. Leave their remarks with them, as their remarks say more about
who they are than about who you are. Especially don’t start
analyzing their behavior, but rather concentrate on your own life goal.
This way you are an example for all who one day also start living their
mission.
9. Thinking you still need a lot of time to prepare yourself. Make sure
not to waste too much time and energy on lengthy preparations and
considerations. There’s no need to go get professional help all
the time. One day you will have to get your feet wet yourself. It
doesn’t have to be perfectly planned before you can get it going.
It is practice that makes perfect! What matters is to take that first
step and start things up. Your experience in the field will eventually
turn you into an expert. You cannot obtain experience through endless
thinking and preparing. Concrete action is the only ground you can
build on.
Do not be discouraged. This resistance is part of the package. A life
without challenge would be quite boring. Make use of your resources to
make sure you stay on track.
In any case, you will be enjoying more energy and happiness, now that
you head towards your goal and overcome your resistance to change. This
energy and joy can be radiated to your environment, and your example
will urge others to start looking for their own mission.
