Setbacks are signals that you have veered of track somewhere. In order to get to where you want to go, so many of us use GPS navigation. In life, you have to prepare for delays, detours, and road blocks just like traveling. Each of these encounters offer up valuable lessons if you are willing to look for them. Remember, like most GPS systems, life automatically recalculates.

When we stop and look at some of the actions of those close to us, you may realize that they really do have the best intentions for you. What they may not realize is that if you do not do what they expect you to do, it does not mean you are lost. There are many roads that lead to success and not everyone will travel the same path, and that’s okay.

I was at a four way intersection where it was myself and one other car. I was going straight and they were turning left. I signaled the woman to go ahead and she did the same in return. As I was about to go through she started to go, we both stopped and proceed to go through the same action again. This time as she was turning I saw she clearly was expressing her displeasure towards me. I just sat in amazement.
At some point in your life, if acts of kindness cause you to get angry, you might want to take a hard look at yourself and ask why. You can’t change what your are not willing to confront.

Be sure not to confuse busy work with effective work. When I was apart of the direct sales market, they taught us the importance of triage when it comes to effectiveness. “A” priorities were the life support habits in order to grow and maintain you business like making client calls. Take a moment to triage your daily tasks. Make those that give your business life top priority.
The one investment with the biggest return is the one you make in yourself. Skills can be learned and characters can be built. Make yourself a priority and know that you are worth every penny spent.

If you are not willing to ask for what you want, you are automatically accepting the answer no. When we are not pay attention to the “excuses” we give as to why something will not work, you have already set yourself up for failure. Be willing to ask, at least you have a 50/50 chance which is better than a 100% NO.

I often hear people say, and I have said it myself, that they want to be invited to the table. My question then is, what are you bringing? In order to get something, one must be willing to give something. You don’t want to be the person invited to a picnic but fail to bring anything to eat. If you are that one, expect not to be invited back.

Mastering the art of letting go is being able to let go of what no longer is serving a purpose. By letting go you make from for new things to come along in order for your growth. You can not climb without letting go of your current ladder rung.

Not everyone is going to support your dream and that’s okay. Everyone is here with a vision or purpose all of their own. When you allow the behavior or emotions of another keep you from your greatness, you are saying that their wants are more important then what you were designed for. You were given the gift of life, what you do with it is your gift back.

Anyone who drives knows that you can’t drive forever on one tank of gas. You have to fuel up in order to keep going. Stopping to take care of yourself is a lot like stopping to refuel. Self care is not selfish, it is necessary. In order to make this journey called life, stop riding on fumes and refuel.
