I started writing these blog posts to help my client’s and to hopefully help new business relations to form healthy and long lasting businesses. They are also meant to boost confidence where needed and to be a figurative extended hand to let you know that you are not alone. Todays blog post was supposed to be solely about fighting against resistance while maintaining wisdom but truth be told, it is turning into one of the hardest post I have written. It is not hard because of the topic, it is hard because today is one of those days that I am fighting massive toxic and negative forces that are coming at me in ways that I feel as though my heart is going to rip through my chest.
So, I have taken a deep breath and rather than just turn my back away from my blog today, I am going to sit here and soldier on because that is what you do in real life if you are not a quitter. The choices here are that you can either cry it out, scream it out or go run it out but then you have to shrug it off and get on with life. I am not going to sit here and type that once I took that deep breath and collected my thoughts that everything magically went back to normal because I would be lying to you and doing you a disservice. What I am actually doing is that I am sitting here typing this blog with just a small desk lamp, no radio and no television, all alone, while fighting back tears from the stresses of the day, I am here typing while feeling that any minute I may need to vomit from the tightness in my stomach and I am sitting here typing knowing that I too, amongst all of you, am here to continue to grow and hopefully help my business thrive. That is what is supposed to happen in real life and todays blog post, which I chose last night, is extremely fitting for the day that I am having and it just happens to be fighting against resistance. There is that amazing saying that is used throughout many organizations and throughout many forms of therapy and the saying says something like this, God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things that I can and the wisdom to know the difference. I do not know who actually came out with this saying or prayer but it is genius and I will incorporate it into todays blog post.
Accepting what you cannot change is a resistance that will take massive inner strength. There is not a person alive who does not want to change something in their own life and yet they must accept the fact that they cannot change it. It literally means that you have to put your own want and or desire on the back burner for the sake of something or someone else. This may just be one of the hardest things you will do in life and in business. You must resist against the urge and believe deeply that whatever comes of your acceptance of the situation, it will eventually be for the good and for the good of you personally or for you professionally.
Then there is having the courage to change the things that you can. Just because you have the ability to change a situation does not mean that the change is easy by any means. There are situations that life will throw at you that you know for a fact you can indeed change but the courage that you will need to make that change may not even exist in you yet. The resistance will try and win over you at every corner, yet you must fight on and eventually you will dig deep enough to find that courage and make that change that is necessary for your own personal sanity or for the health and growth of your business. Resistance will always play a roll here because when you are changing something that requires courage, you are changing things that people and or forces around you do not want changed which is why it will take that said courage.
So, how do you know what to accept and what to change? Well, the answer on this #WisdomWednesday is in fact, wisdom. Sometimes you may know something is right but you must resist against it because in order for you to thrive in life, you must make the change. Other times you know that in order to get that peace and serenity, you just have to accept a situation. But how do you choose? That answer to this question can only come from inside of you. What are you willing to put up with? If you are going to accept something, you need to ask yourself why you are accepting it? You have to accept it because it brings serenity into your life and not because you just do not want to deal with the problem anymore. When you decide a change is needed, change because it will make your life better and bring you toward your dream. Do not change because you are giving up. In each of these scenarios it boils down to one common denominator, you and your ability to place yourself first.
You have one life to live and one life only. There is no reason whatsoever to have toxicity or negativity in your life. There are about seven billion people in this world. If you are not happy with the people around you or with the clientele you have, change that scenery. I too am so guilty of allowing myself to be drained by toxic and negative people. Life is too short, surround yourself with people who make you smile and with things that bring joy into your life. Surround yourself with clientele that appreciate the value you bring into their world. You must surround yourself with positivity and the first step is having that wisdom to know the difference. I think we all have that wisdom, we just need the courage to fight against the resistance.
