Get over it!
{Listen to the song while reading for more motivation if your reading from a laptop or computer}
[Promise by Thomas Bergerson]
I remember once I saw a Nike commercial featuring a man with no arms or legs who was climbing a mountain and I thought to myself. If he can do that then I can start a business. Whenever I see videos like that I sometimes say to myself “what is wrong with me?, why aren’t I going harder with what I want to do with my life?” and I think a lot of us have had that same thought pattern when we see such videos. What are you struggling with that is holding you back and how can you learn from the person who was climbing the mountain? There are a few traits that these people have that you can start embodying today to live your life.
(Nike commercial feat Kyle Maynard)
- Unbreakable tenacity– these people have extremely strong willpower. Now I don’t know if being handicapped gives someone an advantage or not but it seems to me that people who go through hard times especially if they persevere usually these people go really far in life. It astounds me how people who have had a rough time especially in their youth or early adult years end up becoming successful later in life sometimes even changing the world. What if you had that unbreakable tenacity? that you are going to be hungry for the success that you want in life, that you are not going to stop until you win. With that kind of mindset you would be unstoppable
1.Proving something– sometimes there are people who oppose us on our ideals. They say “you can’t do that, you don’t have the skills, the degree, the experience, the connections etc” And sometimes that can push someone to prove that person or people wrong. Someone that wants to prove something to someone not only does it to show the other person that it’s possible but also for themselves. Having someone, anyone tell you that you can’t do something can be a great motivator for you if you are the kind of person who gets fueled by making that person feel inaccurate.
1.Center of attention- now this may sound pretty selfish but sometimes people just want to be the center of attention. They want to be known for something, to leave a footprint in the world. I think that at a lot of people’s cores the vast majority of us want to be famous or known for something, well at least in the United States anyway. But that drive to be known, to be famous, to leave a footprint, or to advance society in some way is another factor that can drive people to accomplish goals that were originally well beyond their reach.
Which one of these 3 traits do you possess or would like to possess? If none of them appeal to you what trait would you like to develop in your life?
