Your power is in the present

One thing people need to realise is that your power is in the present moment, not the future.

Stop obsessing over an unknown future; it will only drive you crazy and can only lead to more stress along the way.

IF you continue to worryhappen, about what is going to happen your fears will only try to engulf you and matters can become worse.

So why stress? The future has not happened and there is no guarantee it will turn out that way. The future only an estimate projection of your current course not a final outcome.

The question is what are you going to do about it now?

Will you allow your heart to sink each time you imagine your future, especially when things are not going as planned or hoped for now?

NO don’t’ do that.

Regardless of the issue(s) you are facing, focus on the now, that is today and today only.

The future is not a guaranteed outcome where this or that will happen.

What you do now can and will shape anything later on.

Continue to worry and stress, and be sure that is what your life will be like.


Here is one of my favorite quotes by Dr Wayne Dyer

Do you need that? Of course not.

Focus on fixing what you can and when you take action today, will help you change the course for a better outcome in this so-called future.

The future unfolds in its own time, depending on what you do now.

This is the same not only with life itself but also with you in building an online business.

We know many have been hit with these Google’s Core updates, some more so than others. Ok, so what? There have been many updates in the past and will continue to happen.

Are you going to sulk and get frustrated, angry? or are you going to take positive action, get going once more, and fix things, right?

If you don’t plan for a better outcome today, then you will land in the unknown world of thinking "What happened to my site?"

What happened is you didn’t take proper action at the start or, for some, abused the system, thinking this was going to be a quick fix and that money flow would come quickly.

We know some innocent people will copy the wrath during Google updates, and as always, if you do the right thing or start to fix what is needed, it will bring life back to your website.

It might take a bit of time and for some a bit quicker.

We know many have tried this pattern of cheating or abusing the system online they may have gotten away with it for a bit.

But as I said, the future will unfold in its own way and that is what happened to those who felt they could get away with it.

So don’t drive yourself crazy and stress about something that has not happened.

You can change your course today so that what happens next, will flow through by the actions you took today, not tomorrow but today.

Many have said you can have all the training, tools and resources available to you but what good is that if you don’t take proper positive action to make it happen.

Stop taking shortcuts, remember that you are building a business for the long-term.

Sure there will be setbacks, that is part and parcel of life itself and your online business is the same.

Final thoughts

When you allow fearful thoughts to take over, you are only keeping or creating an illusion of control

Don't drive yourself crazy by obsessing over an unknown future.

None of us can predict the future, they are only possible outcomes.

You have full control of what they can be regardless if whether they are negative or positive.

Nicely put as always Andre! No one can predict what the future holds and the past is just that, nothing we can do about changing it (although lessons can be learnt)!

The present is where it is at, and we all should do what we can NOW!

Enjoy the rest of your week my friend and take care ok! :-)

Most welcome Nick yes the past is our opportunity not to re live it but to learn from in in order to create that better future we all wish to have.
The way to do that is to fix or learn from the past and work on it today the present moment.

Enjoy the rest of your day and week ahead.

Andre

Insurances are there to limit the stress on the future...
Indeed Andre no sense 'to freak out' but not always easy.

You are welcome Andre, and yes it may not always be easy but when you want to move forward you learn as a result.

Life is not meant to be easy you need to learn to grow and move forward.

If life was easy nothing would get done and boredom and laziness sets in.

Thanks Andre,

It is such an important message you are writing about.

I feel it is so easy to fall into the trap of anticipating the future when you are right, that is unknown.

Keeping a day full of steps to a desired outcome is one thing, however jumping to conclusions about the future is downright draining.

I know this all to well,

Kind regards
Erica

You are welcome Erica and certainly true jumping to conclusions can be very draining and put you down so easily.

Andre :)
