I Give UpWhat is the normal (untrained) human reaction to life’s challenges and changes? Resignation right?

How often do you hear someone say:

  • Oh well, we will just have to get used to it or
  • Well life is like that at times or even
  • Well at least it is not for ever.

These are all reactions of resignation. I am sure you have heard these comments or similar ones many times.

Of course YOU have never said anything like that right? I didn’t think so.

Resignation is a trap. It is a very negative reaction because when you resign yourself to a situation, you have actually given in and usually also given up.

But giving up is never the reaction of a champion!

Champions are always actively looking for resolutions.

Denis Waitley said:

“There are two primary choices in life: to accept conditions as they exist, or accept the responsibility for changing them.” –

A friend down in Mexico always used to say:

Every problem has a solution.

Champions always accept the responsibility for changing conditions. They are never content to sit down and accept them. They know that every problem has a solution and so their reaction to every situations is focus on resolutions.

I know you are a champion!

So here is my question today: Are you accepting situations that are pulling you away from your dreams? Or are you looking for solutions.

21 May 2010 Daily Decisions Build Faith or Fear – Your Choice

Waves at the QuebradaThis morning I was listening to John Di Lemme talking about building our belief or fear systems.

After listening to the recording, I continued to meditate on this reality and came to some conclusions.

Yesterday late afternoon, I went down to the “Quebrada” in Acapulco to enjoy the sea air. The waves were a little more fierce than I have seen them so far during this trip to Acapulco. I took so photos for you to see :) (I love to take photos).

Strong waves at the QuebradaLife is full of daily challenges, decisions and reactions (or responses – your choice). Some days the sea of life may be calm for a season, other days the waves may come crashing in.

However your day is, YOU have the choice as to how you will react or respond. Consequently you choose to build your mindset or faith or allow fear to destroy you belief system.

Many daily habits are unconscious. You and I often react to situations without thinking. These are the spontaneous reactions that come out of your mindset (or mental structures).

  • Your positive mindset is formed (or destroyed) by every decision you make every day.
  • Your positive mindset is also formed (or destroyed) by every reaction you have towards the events of each day.

How come a reaction affects your mindset? Every react is a decision (often a spontaneous one). It comes from your mindset. In the same way that every time you use a physical muscle you strengthen it, every time you use a mind muscle you strengthen it.

This means that every time you reinforce a decision or reaction by USING it, you strengthen it.

How to make sure you are creating a strong mindset of faith.
Determine to become aware of every decision and every reaction you make each day. To do this you will need: Discipline and Focus.

Determine that you will change ALL negative reactions or decisions that you detect. Changing your habits and belief system (mindset) is YOUR choice.

Determine to deliberately focus your daily decisions and reactions towards constructing a solid mindset of faith. To do this you will be to focus! Be alert to take note of what you are doing, saying and thinking. Then you can change each and every negative response you catch yourself making.

JillDeliberate, focused, daily action will enable you to build a strong faith mindset.
