Overcoming challenges

 How do you face trials and problems in your life?



We all have faced, and will continue to face, challenges that come into our life unexpectedly. In life, we are tested with our ability to solve those problems and overcome the trials. Some people accept them as an opportunity to grow and learn, others get down on themselves, or give up sometimes.

Having your own business can come with many trials, which can either tear you down or cause you to grow. Some trials in owning a business might be that you loose customers, you expenses grow higher than your revenue, or you get criticized by others that you should stop. Most people can’t see the vision that you have for yourself and the future. 

In order to overcome these challenges that you’ll most likely face, you need to have a couple things available to you. You need to have some kind of support system, where you have at least one mentor, or a partner, a supportive family member or friend, someone that will believe in you and show they care about what you’re doing. Without anyone to turn to during a trial, you might feel just too alone and quit. You also need stories to look to of people who faced similar difficulties, but passed through them. You need courage and a vision to stick to, because if you forget what your purpose, dream an Why is, then you will have nothing to drive you, to motivate you to keep moving forward.

I know that these things will help you overcome challenges that you’ll face when building your own business. You just can’t forget your Why, the reason you started it, and you ultimate dream at the end of it all.

How to Discover Who You Truly Are

 Do you know what your passion is?     One of the things that I've learned this week is that you need take time to truly think about your life, where you are going, where you want to be, and how you want to get there. We need to map our goals out, and list 'stepping stones' that will get us there,-which can be different jobs, experiences/opportunities, volunteering, or other network connections, like meeting people. We need to take control of what happens in life, and not just go through life passively. When you know what your passion is, then you can take control of your life and feel your purpose. In order to have a fulfilling life, we need to take action steps to work towards building that purpose.     One of the things that Randy Pausch was able to do, was to live his life intentionally, following what I stated above. He challenged the things that stopped him, put a block in the road, and were an obstacle for him. He let his dreams move him and lead him to a...

Gratitude

 How to be grateful at all times Have you ever thought about why it's hard to be grateful even in hard times? Why do people say it's important to be grateful in times when life is hard? I feel like people often say that, but we don't hear the reason why it's important to be grateful, especially why to have that attitude in hard times. It's easy to be thankful when life's going well, and you have what you want, and nothing is changing too much. However, we forget all the sudden the good things we have, when something bad comes along all too often.  In the videos about an attitude of gratitude, and the readings that I had this week for my class about how to be grateful and positive, really helped me understand what it actually means to be grateful. We usually think of it as being thankful for what is happening in life at the moment and thankful for what we have. But, I think I learned that it means not letting those negative things that can happen in life, affect...

How to Dream

 How to Dream Big Have you ever thought about what it means to have a dream? What do you remember from when you were little, and said 'I want to be _____ when I grow up?' We often forget about those dreams when we grow older. Why did we have that dream when we were little, then? What is it about children that makes them feel like they deserve those dreams or that they are capable of achieving them? You have to remember when you were little and confident in yourself, to remember who you are really inside. Often, we can still really keep those dreams in mind when we grow up. When we keep those dreams, we can feed ourselves hope and a purpose in life. In order to grow your business as an entrepreneur, you need to think about the general theme and main reasons for your dreams that you had when you were a child. This can help you figure out what you really want out of your business that you are creating now, and why. This will drive your vision for your business today. I think that ...
