The Walking Dead
When life serves up an expected hardship. We must minimize the time we spend giving ourselves a pity party or down time.This week I want to touch on what could possibly happen if you don’t reduce your downtime. Due to the unexpected hardship or disappointment you can become discouraged. When we are discouraged and feeling sorry for ourselves the unexpected hardship, disappointment or setback seems insurmountable. So why should we even try? At that point you become one of “The Walking Dead”. You continue to getting out of the bed every morning, but now you just go through the motions. Your life has no purpose, passion or positive expectations. This is place that dreams die a horrible death. You are still married, still on the job, still cooking dinner, still taking the kids to school. You are still doing the business, still giving presentations and prospecting, but on the inside you are detached and dead. You have no passion are enthusiasm. You can quote me on this “discouragement is a product of letting some negative terrorist thought attack your positive state of mind.” Dr. I. V. Hilliard said at the point of discouragement “your overcoming faith has gone with the winds of discouragement. When you are walking dead you make decisions out of a failure mentally, not a victor’s mentality. In the walking dead condition you expect the worse to happen. And you shall have what you seek. This will cause you to sink into the bottomless pit of despair and depression. I have great news for you I am going to give three steps that will revive your faith and resurrect your dreams. Step One: Renew Your Mind (take back control of your thought life) - When I was one of the walking dead addicted to crack cocaine. I focused on changing my outer world without much success. But when I made the decision to change my inner world (thought life) my outer world automatically began to change. Step 2: Encourage Yourself – It is possible that you could be the only one who truly believes you can obtain your dreams. Encourage yourself, don’t wait for others to do it for you. Step 3: Make New Plans For Success – Rejoice when you fail because that only means that you’ve found out what doesn’t work. Now you can use the valuable information you learned from the bad experience. Take this new knowledge and create a new success plan.
