Everyone has it. No one is immune from it. We all experience it. It doesn’t matter what level you’re on, it will show up. I am simply talking about: the bump in the road.
It forces some people to stop. “No more traveling down this road, there’s a bump!” The thing is, the bump never goes away. You must learn to go over it. It will keep coming back, again and again. Yet, it keeps stopping people, again and again. Not you – you’re a Goalden Lady and one of the most important rules is to keep it moving.
It happens. It will continue to happen. The solution is to keep moving. If you stop every time something doesn’t go the way you planned, you’ll never get anywhere in life. You may as well not even have goals, but I’m not here to explore that side. I’m here to help you get over that hump.
The bump in the road is there to throw you off. It’s your choice to allow it to throw you off or not. In this case, we don’t allow it. We are strong enough and smart enough to move that mountain. There is another way to continue on, we just have to figure it out. If your favorite basketball player misses the game winning shot, do they wallow in their mistake or do they put in more practice than the week before? Yes, that’s you – you put in more practice or more thought to overcome that obstacle.
Nothing happens unless you take action. Action is what makes those bumps in the road disappear. Action is what makes them smaller, so that you can continue with your journey. Some bumps may be bigger than others, but the process is the same: action. It won’t move until you put forth some physical or mental effort to move it. You can do it if you put one foot in front of the other and start moving.
It may seem overwhelming, but you have to break it down. Know that the challenge can be conquered, but you must take it one step at a time. Do your research. Go to conventions. Watch videos. Do whatever it takes to get over that challenge. Before you know it, you’ll be back on track to reaching your goals.
The point is, you can do it. Don’t let it scare you to the point where you just give up and stop. Find a way to keep moving and take action. To be more specific, concentrated action is the only way you will be successful with your goals (yes, concentrated action – you just can’t do any old action and expect to win). See in your mind how you will cross that bump in the road and make it happen. Drink some water. It’ll work out if you keep moving.
