Turning Trials and Tribulation into Triumph

With the close of the year approaching quickly, we start looking back and we also look forward considering the things that have happened, and those that we want to happen. This has been a tumultuous year of change for the country, the economy, my company, and my life. The one constant that we can always count on is, that change is inevitable. Our mindset and our perspective are our greatest assets to maintain sanity, march forward, and achieve our goals.

We all will experience some of life’s greatest challenges in the course of running a business and living our lives: death in the family, divorce, separation in relationships, moving and changing location, health challenges and illness, our children’s trauma or drama, being terminated from a major account or career, financial loss, etc. No one wins all the time, if it seems as if they do, it is more than likely that they have had their share of hard knocks and obstacles to overcome, and achieve the appearance of winning most of the time and achieve what they have.

I have encountered many trials, and witnessed tribulations, which have caused me and clients to appear and feel as victims, to ourselves and others, rather than victors. Whether it be multiple deaths in the family, probate challenges, and family alienation, disrupted focus and poor productivity, poor asset management and deployment, the challenges and obstacles of life remain ever present in the background, until they rise to the forefront. It is in these times that our character, habits, and traits are tested, and we find out we can definitely make improvements. We shine the light, focus, rise and evolve to become more benevolent. As one author says “we fall forward, get up, and become better people, …if we choose to.” “The size of the challenge determines the size of the hero.” “We are all “children of the most high,” when it comes to the mastery of life. We will win, the question is when?

My own challenges and working with clients have caused us to find some helpful steps to go from victim to victor, turning trials and tribulations into triumph. They are:

1Define the Problem/challenge In Writing

Without a clearly defined problem we are not likely to find a definitive answer. Looking at what it is, and learning what it is not, is the work that we must do to gain the confi dence of at least knowing what we are facing and being able to describe it to others and think of avenues of relief ourselves.

2 Find the Coach and Gather the Data

Finding someone that has overcome this problem themselves or helped other people overcome specific similar problems is a great beginning for the recipe of winning. You still have to do the work. However if you’re coachable and the strategy is sound you will be able to achieve your desired result in a lot less time without having to endure so much trial and error. Gathering the data of those that have encountered the trauma, obstacles, defeat and wins, will forearm you to know what you’re facing so that hopefully you will not make some of the same mistakes.

3 Discern your Options

There are many times in life we think we don’t have options or choices, however hindsight is 20/20 and most times after-the-fact, we realize that we did. Even if the options or choices are simple, or incomplete, getting a mental picture aids our clarity in our seeing the beginning or necessary steps to achieve the goal.

4 Prayer, Meditation, and Contemplation

In the Western Hemisphere these three practices tend to be run together and almost defined as one. In the East, they are three separate practices which are the prerequisites of manifestation, transmutation and precipitation. It is usually in this step of practices that we get answers that have not been yielded in the other aforementioned steps.

5 Envision the Results

Visualize the desired result. See it, feel it, smell it, act with it and be part of your vision. It is your vision and you are allowed to be part of it, project yourself into the scene. All of life is the projection of a thought or the lack of it by default.

6 “Believe In Order to Know”

This is a profound saying that twist our minds until we begin to comprehend it. In most circumstances the greatest obstacle to achieve a goal is you. People we consider wiser than ourselves usually have the wisdom and experience from their own achievement and that of others. When we don’t have wisdom, we have to learn that practice makes things possible and confidence and believability come from practice. Most of us must practice believing what we know to be possible, and then we can make it possible!

7 Gratitude

Be grateful for what you do have and the opportunity to achieve more because of the trials and tribulations that inspire you… to: do more, be more, have more, live more, give more, and serve more!
