Chapter 27. Making It All Happen
can make you turn around and retreat to the life you obvi- ously want to change, or they can be nothing more than a challenge or excuse you will overcome. We know now that all of us will have challenges and problems and make mis- takes. They won’t ever go away, and the more success you have in all areas of your life, the more challenges you will have, too. So we know it’s not about stopping challenges; it’s about how we handle and overcome them. We know that when a challenge, obstacle, or a problem arises, we should immediately take action to find the solution. Wasting energy on the “Why me?” and “How could this happen?” questions only delays the resolution. When handled correctly, challenges will always result in a build- ing block towards your fulfilled life and success. Don’t aim for a mistake, but if you do make one, learn from it, cher- ish it, and figure out how to keep it from happening again. Now you know there truly are no obstacles in life, just excuses and challenges. And you are strong enough to overcome them both. ! We faced change head on—whether it’s change you know you need to make or unexpected change. Once you alter your perception of change, you will embrace it, and actu- ally look forward to it because something better is just around the corner. Remember, the definition of insanity is “doing the same thing over and over again expecting a dif- ferent result.” To me, that is also the definition of an unfulfilled life. If your life is not where you would like it to be, if you are unfulfilled in one or more areas of your life, or if you are downright unhappy, then the only way to make something better is to make a change!
