Motivational Column:Deeper than you think By Gordon Franks Vol 3
By allowing the negative opinions of others to determine your reality in life, you could become vulnerable and lose focus of your Destiny.
As an introduction to my motivational column “Deeper Than You Think”, I welcome YOU to be interactive with me as I intend to add value to your life as a Mentor on Success, Business, Personal Development and Life Coach.
I trust my Pearls of Wisdom will Inspire, Influence and Impact You to climb life’s ladder from Success to Significance.
“Just as a Diamond cannot be polished without constant friction, it takes perseverance to consistently work on your flaws until you reach perfection”. Gordon Franks – quote from my book “The Designer’s Original”. To acquire the mastery of success, wealth creation, financial freedom or happiness, you must convert your unlimited potential to accomplish whatever is written in your destiny. People that are passionate towards success stay focused on the prize to achieve their dreams.
Studies on successful people reveal they had a challenging start in life. Some were born into dysfunctional families with parent’s unmarried, separated or divorced. It is undue pressure on children who don’t deserve that life to grow up under challenging circumstances. Most successful people didn’t finish their schooling because of challenges forcing them to endure a poverty or disadvantaged upbringing resulting in them failing several times in the same grade. This proves that you don’t have to be born with a silver spoon to be successful and neither should you allow your circumstances to define your destination. It is not where you coming from but where you going to in life, whilst keeping your head on your shoulders.
There are no limits to life if you believe in yourself whilst staying focused on your Dreams with a positive mental attitude. Success has no discrimination or reason to relegate yourself into a disadvantaged position by giving your power away to another person who amplifies your weakness. People who distract you from pursuing success know that you are destined with seeds of greatness within.
By allowing the negative opinions of others to determine your reality in life, you could become vulnerable and lose focus of your Destiny. Since your past doesn’t equal the future, seize it as an opportunity to make something positive happen in your life. Procrastinators are underachievers whilst people of action are super achievers. Taking small steps in a positive direction assures you of achieving the results necessary to step up closer to your Dream. Bad habits will manifest the consequences with bad results.
Be vigilant to keep your guard up knowing how to respond or react to any situation. It is your tolerance of being a strong minded person by growing a thick skin that will enable you to overcome a negative situation? Remember, “Words don’t have the power to hurt you unless the person who says it means a lot to you”. Be in control of what filters through you mind.
Switch from negative thinking to positive thinking and you will experience a progressive change in your life. Today is the perfect time to press the refresh button for a restart in life. Be inspired with my Pearls of Wisdom! “If Success is pursued without balance at the expense or sacrifice of other important areas in our life, Success will be a lonely party to celebrate at the Top all alone”.
