Successful Surfers Learn To Catch the Waves

When you are about to hit the jackpot, there is usually a period of intense searching and asking  questions. It is as if nature says, the treasure that you are about to receive requires you to give time and energy to get it. I hope this article will be one of those tools that would make you into a successful surfer in the journey of self improvement and development.
The tension created by the desire to find answers and change in circumstances is usually like the waves to a surfer. I think that the surfer needs to learn the act of surfing in order to make the best use of the waves as they appear. It is wise to avoid perceiving the discomfort that you feel as indicators of your unworthiness, the likelihood that you would never make it or that the task is impossible.
How many of those giving up pills have you taken recently? Do you think it was a wise decision? How many more of these chances for growth and development are you going to walk away from because you are unwilling to pay the price?
I will like to share an alternative attitude that I think will change your life forever. What about accepting pain as a fair price to pay for success. I think if you do this, you will acknowledge the pain but persist in finding the answers that will bring growth and advancement in all areas of your life.
I am slowly coming to terms with this fact- people who walk away from challenges usually do not ask questions that will lead them into searching for answers; search and find alternative solutions; act on some of the strategies found during the search; and sustain growth and development by repeating the above process.
Life seems to be waiting to give success to those who are willing to pay the price. I think you would benefit from learning how to catch the opportunities for self development contained in your challenges by riding the waves.
Firstly, allow yourself to be reconciled to the last failure that you experienced. You might be wondering why this is an important part of the journey. When you learn from an experience rather than stewing on the impact of the failure, you release yourself to learn as much as you can from your current situation. Allowing yourself to be saddled with the weight of guilt, fear and anxiety associated with previous failures will distract; reduce motivation; intensify hurt and might cause you to give up.
Secondly, choose an easy challenge if this is your first attempt as surfing the waves of your challenges.
Thirdly, pick the right challenge. For example you may have done badly in a recent examination and you are facing a tirade of criticism from your friends, colleagues and yourself.  I think you need to change your attitude to your performance in the examination.
Fourthly, begin to ask questions, search for answers, decide on actions, try out some of the solutions chosen and reward yourself for engaging on the journey.
Finally, continue to take action and be confident and assured that such engagement in the challenges of life produces growth and development.
Enjoy your journey in sustainable advancement and growth.
