It’s interesting to see how people love to complicate things.
Really, it’s so common to overthink and overcomplicate stuff. And it takes a genius to simplify.
Let me explain.
When life throws a challenge at us, we tend to overthink the intention behind the challenge, and start thinking “Why is it happening to me!”.
This is the beginning of the downward spiral that I like to call the ‘Victim Mindset’.
Instead, what if we shift our thinking to “What can I do with it?”
Our life is only as good as the quality of questions we ask ourselves and the universe.
When we treat the challenges as an opportunity to grow and innovate, we have taken the first step to simplify our life.
The 5 Easy Steps to simplifying life when we face a challenge:
- Take 2 minutes to understand what happened, and why it happened.
- Allow ourselves to take responsibility for this to have happened. Reserve the blame to the losers.
- Spend 5 minutes brainstorming how you can turn this into an opportunity to grow personally, and BE the person that doesn’t allow this to happen, ever again.
- Identify the Habits you need to incorporate into your life, to BECOME the person that attracts the right opportunities.
- Do the right things in sequential order, and enjoy every step of the journey.
Life isn’t a bed of roses, sometimes we experience the thorns as well.
When we shift our focus from the Victim Mindset to what we can learn from it, and how can we turn this challenge into an opportunity, our life changes for the best.
