Master your perspective and self-belief
Time and time again, we hear successful teams and individuals talk about ‘controlling the controllable’. Our perspective and our beliefs are two of the very few things we can truly control and they both serve an incredibly important role in challenging times. Belief dictates behaviour and behaviour often determines our outcomes. But let’s not forget, that outcomes often fall outside of our control and that is where perspective serves as a valuable asset to have in our toolbox. Perspective allows us to reframe the outcomes that aren’t desirable and find the opportunities to learn and grow.
Develop resilience
Adversity is a normal part of life on earth. It finds us in many forms and at many times in our life. Whilst pain is inevitable, suffering is a choice. That is why you must choose your suffering wisely. Developing the resilience required to handle our adversity in life is a matter of leaning into discomfort and exercising perspective. The happiest and most successful amongst our society have developed their resilience and continue to do so.
Craft a purpose driven life
Research shows that having a sense of purpose is good for our well-being and improves our resilience to stress. Most people go through life confusing purpose with goals. Goals are measurable and specific whilst your purpose acts as the true north of your internal compass. It can’t be measured nor can it be taken away from you. A sense of purpose gives meaning to life. It combines passion with service and fuels progress.
