How to overcome adversities

The importance of adversities


Hello reader! :D The previous post was about how sports help shape our mindset and improve our personality. If you haven't read that yet and are interested to know more, check the previous post.

This post is all about how we face adversities ( I'm sure we all do! ) and how we can overcome it and actually better ourselves from it. YES! You actually can get better after an unfavourable situation in life. Let's dig deeper to think about it.

We all have our own share of miseries. It feels like ours is the biggest of them all. This is mostly not true first of all. What I have come to realise is we ponder for the silliest of reasons and make excuses and not work to come out of it. Having said that, there are some situations where it is actually miserable and heartbreaking like the death of a loved one. If you know of someone who made it big even after this, I'm sure you have very little reason to make excuses. I personally feel we should never make excuses and set an example for others even if we cannot find a similar example.

There is a phase when we are low as hell and have no choice but to suffer. Okay, DONE! The very next step is also the most important step. It is asking questions... To yourself! I'm sure this is mostly the next phase for all of us. I'm not talking about the "why me?" kind of questions. We often ask ourselves such wrong questions and dwell even more. Let's get straight down to the solution. I understand this is not easy. But the perspective matters a lot here. The exact same things done with a positive mindset are far easier than when they are forced. This is pretty obvious to us by now. So being optimistic is the only way out of this!

If you tell me you are having a "miserable life" I would be happy for you. Yes, you read that right! I personally feel the word LIFE in itself has so much positivity in it that it cancels out any negative adjective you join it with. This is the ultimate truth! If you still have a life after all that you have been through, you're still the luckiest person. This is because you still can do anything you actually want to and get wherever you want to. EVEN AFTER EVERYTHING! And that's what makes it wonderful. Most people with huge success as perceived by the people have had a bad or even traumatic experience just before. So consider yourself lucky it happened to you! Yes, now you have the right perspective. And the same experience isn't bad after all! Because it will lead to better things.

One of my favourite human beings, GaryVee always says that he's happy to fail. He isn't wrong! Mark Manson, the author of "The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F***" says that undesirable situations are not wanted but are needed for growth! He's right! The short term pain turns into long term power. Embrace the adversities. Smile through it. Shake it off! You are better than you ever were after that experience of yours. You just need to realise it! I don't know how many of you know about DragonBall-Z, the anime. But Goku (the most positive being) turns into a Super Saiyan (the most powerful being of his kind) only after he experiences the misery of losing a dear friend! I hope your perspective has changed already! What do you think? Leave a comment... Share with someone who needs to read this! Stay tuned... :D

The Importance and Benefits of Mentorship

  We are constantly surrounded by people no matter what phase of life we're in. We have friends, elders, and teachers around us during our childhood. We are surrounded by peers, professors, corporates, or bosses in the later stages of our lives. Have you thought about what impact they have on you and what impact you could have on them? Have you wondered how important this could be? We have all come across the popular saying " Show me who your friends are and I'll tell you what you are." We are indeed the average person of the group or company that we keep. The sooner we realise the astonishing effect the people we surround ourselves with have on us, the better we understand the importance of the right people around us. As demotivating and uninspiring as it gets with the wrong people around, it is also possible to feel equally motivated and inspired around the right people. The Importance of Mentorship The first and foremost step to any change you want to create within...

How startups can leverage Data for Success

“Who is my most ideal customer” ; is the first question every business, product, or service must ask. As a business owner or startup founder, it is important to realise that not everybody is interested in what you’re trying to sell. At the same time, there is a customer base that would actually pay for the genuine problems that they face. If you have the solution, it is important to recognise this set of people as the first step to make sure the efforts are getting the results that you deserve. It is said that 20% of what one does drives 80% of the results ; it is absolutely essential to pinpoint to this 20% of activities and data will help you do it . Analytical CRM for startups If you have a marketing or lead generation strategy, you’re already doing analytics even if you haven’t specifically thought about using data. Data is nothing but numbers and information. A question that all startups need to ask and answer is “how are we doing?” ; this involves analysing numbers an...

Personal Branding for Professional Success

 How to recognise and build a Personal Brand? We have all come across the term "Personal Brand" on various social media platforms through influencers and thought leaders, specifically on LinkedIn. Oftentimes, the way the term sounds makes us feel like it's something big; something that only an influencer or thought leader can have. No doubt that they have a great personal brand but are they the only ones that have it? Weren't these influencers and thought leaders beginners at some point? Didn't they have to build upon their personality to make an impact and build a perception about them? This brings me to the point that most of the attendees in one of my university workshops thought they didn't have a personal brand. The fact that we make it sound big within our mind makes it feel unattainable as a beginner and this is natural. But we all have a personal brand at all points in time whether we know it or not! Very simply, a personal brand is what we're know...
