It Will Be Alright

                                                             by Dennis Harting

          This is one of my favorite sayings. Whenever I am coaching someone in a distressing situation, I quietly remind them that it will be alright. This reassurance often gives people the hope to prevail through whatever is getting them down.

     When someone is overrun by a particular situation, it is generally because their focus is too narrow. All the concentration is aimed at the “problem” while ignoring the bigger picture. It Will Be Alright transfers the attention to a time in the future when everything is resolved. It breaks the emotional paralysis to allow one to take the action necessary to move forward.

     Consider any situation in the past that you felt was terrible. Are you alright today with it? Chances are, short of a terminal illness, every situation was resolved and is no longer an  issue in your

life. Even if it did not work out to your liking, it still is in the past. The only way that it affects you is when you think about it. The rest of the time it is a distant memory.

     People often make the mistake of making problems permanent. They are not. Rather, they are temporary situations that will be overcome. If the checking account is overdrawn, someday there will be a positive balance in there. If you are overweight, you need not be heavy forever. Alone? That does not mean that you will not meet the person that you will spend the rest of your life with. Any circumstance you are presently experiencing is a temporary situation and should be treated as such.

     The old saying “down the road we will laugh about this” applies. Instead of waiting until a later time, laugh about it now. Tell yourself that no matter what is occurring, it will be alright. Practice faith in this statement in all that you do.

     The key is action. However, often, before we can take it, we need to break the emotional stranglehold that we put ourselves under. Pumping a degree of hope into a hopeless situation frees us to take the necessary action to move forward. Remember this when you feel circumstances in your life are getting you down.

     It Will Be Alright. Every problem, situation, or circumstance that you are now experiencing will be far in the past at some point in time. The overcoming of present challenges makes us stronger in the future. It is this growth that enables us to handle bigger events as time progresses. View these situations from this perspective and you will get greater results in your development.

Criticism - An Unfortunate Part of Success  Criticism is a unfortunate part of success. The more successful one is, the more people will try to tear that person down. One must be prepared to handle the negative responses so as not to be caught off guard by them. The tendency to make decisions based upon the supposition of what others will say must be avoided.

Procrastination - The Silent Killer Procrastination destroys more lives than any other single factor. This habit can grow so out of control that it literally paralyzes a person from taking action. It kills relationships, careers, and self esteem without regard. The key to success is action. Therefore, overcoming the inactivity caused by procrastination is vital.

Persist To Success  The successful persevere through all conditions. Developing persistence in all that you do is one of the key components to attaining success. Life has a way of giving us lessons in the form of negative situations. Learn the lesson and move on. You will be able to apply it in the future.

Bigger Thinking Leads to a Bigger Life  All success begins with your thinking. Most people limit the quality of their life by the size of their thinking. The general tendency is to simply think too small. This creates a ceiling on the life that one can have. Begin to expand the potential of your life by expanding your thinking.

The Parable Of Faith Most of us think that we know what different situations mean. Oftentimes in life, things occur that seem terrible in the moment only to be viewed differently in hindsight. Our perspective tends to change as we receive more information. This parable tells of a man who didn't rush to judgment.

Stop Exchanging Time For Money  The majority of the population exchanges their time for money. Their pay is dependent upon the hours that they work. At the end of the pay period, they receive a paycheck in exchange for the hours worked. The wealthy do not operate under this premise. They put their money to work for them.

Deadline - A Major Variable To Getting You To Take Action  Most people are controlled by deadlines. That is because they are set by external factors. However, we can set our own deadlines and use them to our advantage.

Fear Is Not Real  Fear is one of the main factors that stops people in life. Unfortunately, it is all in our head. Fear is an illusion that does not exist. Allowing it to control us is like believing in the tooth fairy.

Expect Success  Our intentions have a bearing on the results that we get. To create a better life, it is important that we raise our level of expectations. Learn how vital it is to expect success in all situations.

Dreams - A Lost Art  As children we dream the grandest of dreams, knowing no boundaries. When we mature, we are instructed to keep our feet on the ground and be realistic. This kills the desire to dreams which is the beginning of all of great successes. Learn how to release the desire to dream again.

Seven Common Habits of Successful People  Success usually doesn't come to people that exhibit poor habits, such as laziness, a gloomy disposition or attitude, or possess an unwillingness to learn. Instead, it is poor behaviors and practices that hold people back from achieving the success they want out of life, no matter how much they want it to happen. The desire to achieve success is simply not enough, meaning you have to match your desire with effort, determination, patience, and motivation.
