USLM3- The Journey to Success

[Shannon]

Then respond by calmly accepting "what is", and continuing forward regardless. Try the zen approach. It gets me through some serious shit sometimes. Like getting FRM 4.4 worrking. My subconscious was fighting me tooth and nail to try to stop, prevent, de-motivate, etc. Did not want me to continue working on FRM, apparently because it was afraid and knew I would eventually succeed. I accepted that reality as being what it was, and continued forward regardless. Granted, slowly, because I was dragging little Shannon kicking and screaming to my goal, but I did not let it stop me.

Just let it be known to whatever part of you is resisting that nothing is going to stop you, and the harder you have to try, the more determined it will make you to succeed. Then do exactly that: respond to adversity with ever more determination to succeed. But try to stay calm. Simply accept "what is" as being "what is", calmly make your goal your focus and continue forward with determination, perseverance and persistence. Don't waste your energy getting upset at "what is"; instead, use it to continue forward regardless of "what is" and achieve your goals anyway.
