It doesn't matter what you are attempting to achieve in life, you can count on bumping into adversity along the way, when you do, and you will, the best approach to take is, see it as an opportunity to learn something, no matter how difficult the situation may seem at the time, if you really really work at changing your thinking, your thinking will give you different results. Check out this short video, it says it all.

Albert Einstein said "Adversity introduce's a man to himself", I'm sure Mr. Einstein meant that, the knowledge we learn from adverse conditions will either cause us to live our lives to the fullest within our current condition's, and strive to improve them whenever and wherever we find the right opportunities, or cause us to go bury our head in the sand and blame outside forces for screwing up our life, we can learn to master the circumstance's of our life, instead of it being the other way around. True shit happens on the way to success, but we don't have to resign ourselves to that fate, unfavourable circumstance's are going to show up, the key is to master them and continue moving forward, we do have everything we need to make our life more favourable on our terms, we just need to learn to put all the pieces of the puzzle together.

There are proven ways to minimize the effects of adversity in our lives.

Here are three suggestions that have helped me tremendously and will surely assist you in positive ways too, but only if you heed them.

• Create well defined goals. It is a known fact that people who take the time know what they want from life and establish realistic goal's usually achieve them quicker, with less stress, less hardship, and more flexibility than people who try to succeed flying by the seat of their pants. Giving your goals the time they deserve will deliver you untold benefits, yet to be discovered.
• Write your goal's out, al the leading success coaches say that when we write our goals out and keep track of them regularly we are really planting seeds of success into our conscious awareness, and by doing this we are training our subconscious mind to carry out our conscious mind's instruction's, they also say that the conscious mind is the dominant force and not the other way around. We have the ability to think. Our mind is our greatest asset over everything else, for it our mind we use to bring everything to us in the first place or repel everything away from us the choice is ours.
• Develop a step by step action plan from your goal and commit to it immediately. Once you do this it won't be long before you begin to see your goal moving forward and taking on a life of it's own. If we plan our work day according to our goal's we stay ahead of the learning curve, at least that has been my experience so far.
• Accept the fact that shit happens and it happens to everyone, don't resign yourself to current circumstances, you have the personal power to change them, and you know it isn't what happens to us that matters so much, it is the attitude and tools we use to respond to the situation at hand that makes or breaks every situation. A wise person once wrote, acceptance is the answer to all my problems today, acceptance is personal power and helps us realize that we don't have to resign ourselves to negative circumstances ever, we have choices we can rise above them, with our goals firmly in place, we have the potential to become master of our own life, having well defined goals and a plan of action, eliminates a lot of guess work and can carry you quite far on the wings of success.

It is true shit happens on the way to success, but if we take the time to create a winning mindset going in, it will enable us to learn through personal experience that, "Circumstance's exist not to defeat us, rather to define us". You are winner.
