Written by Administrator Monday, 14 February 2011 15:31

You are standing at a crossroads.

Something terrible has happened – it doesn’t look or feel good. It’s the numbers on the scale, bad news from the doctor, a relationship turns south, the job ends. You are officially at YOUR crossroads!

Now what?

The Reality of YOUR crossroad…which you won’t like…these terrible events…make POWERFUL motivation! I’m here to remind you that sometimes we need those negative experiences to wake us up. We have gotten lulled into thinking that motivation is those wonderfully photographed scenes with an eloquent quotation. No, it’s not! Sometimes it’s the agony of sleepless nights, anger because of someone’s behavior, saying you’ve had enough, seeing yourself go through the same experience more than once, etc. So here you are at YOUR crossroad. You think things are awful. You are overwhelmed because of that relationship, your health, your career, finances, etc. Use this experience! I guarantee if you don’t…it WILL come back around again.

How can you use the experience for growth and transformation?

Below are essentials tips for your positive motivation:

1. Acceptance - The important part here to note is…you are NOT accepting poor behavior of yourself or others…and you are NOT accepting you wished you weren’t in this situation. You are simply accepting that this was an experience you had.

2. Gratitude – Thank the Universe for this opportunity. You might not think it yet, but develop a mindset of gratitude – it’s imperative!

3. Commit – Commit to positive growth.

4. Evaluate – Objectively take stock of what happened, be honest, get out of your ego, write it down, get counsel – it can tell you volumes.

5. Image – Dream of what you want to create for yourself – be specific.

6. Plan – Remember the baby steps too.

7. Get going!

8. Remember you WILL have a pop quiz! Crossroads are part of life – accept it.
