It’s only the first week into the New Year and you’re experiencing
challenges and set-backs on every turn? It seems as if nothing is coming
together or falling into place… Look, it’s
a New Year, time for new resolutions, yet it doesn’t appear to be that way. Hummmm, what is going on???
Well, I guess you can tell that my New Year has been kind of
bumpy to start. Let’s see here, for
starters, I had to pull a couple of projects that I’d been working on for
months with this particular company, because there were too many “redo’s and undo’s,”
then there’s the case of “dropped schedules” due to lack of interoffice communication
on the part of the individuals who were handling the job.
“O” and there’s one more, I got chewed out over the phone by
a young lady that misinterpreted something I said, talking it personal when I was
merely using the example I’d mentioned as a comparison in order to explain the situation
at hand more accurately, because it was obvious to me that my letter wasn’t
clear nor concise enough to get the point across.
First Things First….
You take responsibility for your actions!! That’s what I did. I examined my actions to
make sure that I’d done all I could do within my realm (I.e. meeting deadlines,
providing the necessary information at the right time and also communicating in
a timely manner). Once I took inventory
of that, I made decisions based on the information I had available, and the
next best course of action(s) to take, to keep me focused on the end results. (I’m a doer who believes in getting things done in the spirit of
excellence… So, procuring solution orientated
results is what motives me).
Interim…
So many times, we allow challenges and set-backs to get us discouraged,
giving up on the things that we want to do, or desire to be less known need to
pursue… We let the pressures of the moment, or things
being said or done; throw us way off the path.
When this happens, we need to stop for a moment, take heed to what’s
going on around us thereby paying careful attention to our emotions and actions…
Next….
You Buckle Down and
Dig In…. You can’t afford to allow the “mishaps
of the moment, to mess up the momentum!”
You may have to go back to the drawing board, look at the plan of action
again or review your approach. But, know
that it’s okay! Maybe, just maybe these obstacles
are putting you on a faster track to accomplishing your visions and dreams, ultimately
fulfilling your destiny and life’s purpose…
So, what do you do when you come
up against challenges??? You Face Them
Head on Go… Go Get It!!!
