Setbacks!

The word for today is setbacks!

Those who think of living every day without setbacks, live in a world of fairy tales.

In every life it is inevitable to face problems, difficulties, disappointments and adversities!

The shots that throw us to the carpet are those that we do not expect and that we can not perceive before they arrive.

Falling to the mat and suffering a setback is normal for everyone!

When we are on the carpet do not get up right away but let’s get our strength back. Let’s ask ourselves what has knocked us down and why we have not been able to avoid it.

Then let’s get up because the setbacks can be and must be TEMPORARY and not final.

In fact, the component that defines a person is not the stop but the ability to get up!

Setbacks can only slow us down because in life there is always a second chance, you just have to want it!

Three kinds of people to achieve our vision

(A photo of the current political situation in Italy).

1. Confidants

They love you and believe in you unconditionally and support you always and in spite of everything.

2. Constituents

They love your vision but leave you once you reach it.

3. Comrades

They fight for the things we both want. They do not believe in us and/or our vision but they support what we are against.

We do not go anywhere without the confidants. David existed because there was a Jonathan! Choose your team members well. Without the confidants you have a vision destined to die!

The word for today is Contagious!

The word for today is contagious!

Whether we like it or not, our daily living brings us in touch with other people.

When you get in touch with others, 2 things happen:

1. We give or receive a positive contagion

2. We give or receive a negative contagion

There is not a third possibility!

My question is whether we prefer a positive contagion or negative contagion.

The question is clearly rhetorical!

In fact, if we could choose which contagion to receive, the answer would certainly be to be influenced positively by the people we come into contact with.

In the same way, other people prefer to receive our positive contagion!

In our daily life, we add value and positive contagion to others or we detract value because of our negativity!

Therefore, let us examine ourselves and the type of contagion with which we influence others.

In the same way, let’s rub shoulders with those who positively influence us and run away from those who negatively influence us. An old proverb says “who walks with the lame learns to limp”.

Let’s stay close to the people who celebrate us and not tolerate us!

I add that those who walk with those who positively influence them, learn to add value to others, thus giving a positive meaning to the mission of their life!

Responsability!

The word for today is responsibility!

Being responsible means controlling our actions intentionally!

If we want to see progress in every situation in which we are involved we must take our responsibilities: If it is to be, it is up to me!

Many run away from their responsibilities: they want respect but they want to get it without taking their responsibilities!

Everyone wants to be respected without taking responsibility!

The truth is that taking responsibility for oneself produces INEVITABILITY the respect we all yearn for!

Be a responsible person and start today!

Abundant!

The word for today is abundant!

The concept of this word is rendered best by the example that comes from the waves.

If we go to any beach in the world, we see the waves crashing on the beach, then they seem to run out and retire and then return again.

This ebb and flow is continuous, I would say forever!

Here this is the concept of abundance: an inexhaustible resource that adds strength and energy to our lives both personally and professionally!

Jesus declared that he had come to give life, and life in abundance! This statement makes us detect two concepts: one before and another comma after comma.

Two people living in the same house: one is living and the other lives in abundance.

Two people work together: one is living his work and the other is living his work in abundance. The abundance depends on whether and how we can find more resources for our lives. It all starts with discovering our only individual mission, our calling both personally and professionally.

Without this start there is no possibility to connect to the tank of abundance. Once we find the purpose, we decide to become permanent students who want to learn more and grow accordingly.

These two basic steps are the springboard for an abundant life!

My question that I want to address is as follows: On which side of the comma are you living your life?

Are you just living or are you living in abundance?

Here is success: you will not be satisfied with living but you learn to live an abundant life that comes from having found your personal and professional purpose and have given yourself to the development and completion of the same.

Look at those waves hurl themselves tirelessly on the beach and decide today to grab their inexhaustible power to live an abundant life!
