You need to step up and commit to the goals you want to achieve in life and accept that you are the one who is going to make it happen. Stop blaming the world around you.Always look for the good in the world and the opportunities presented to you. It is necessary for you to accept situations for what they are in order for you to get up, dust yourself off and move on to the next chapter in life. Grieving a loss is normal for any human but you need to decide when you will draw the line and stop throwing your own pity party.Change the story. You will always be the main character in your story that you tell others about yourself, do you really want everyone to see you as the victim? Wouldn't it be better to get admiration for your achievements? Write the story of victory.Understand that you are good enough. You would not be where you are in life or hold your achievements if you were not good enough. List all of your progress and achievements you've made in your life and/or business in the last 12 months that you can be proud of and use this as evidence that you are good enough. BEST MOMENTS‘What we think about in the present will shake the results we experience in the future'‘The first thing you can do to get out of your own way is change your thinking, change your mind-set' ‘The story we tell ourselves is the story that bounds us'‘Write the heroes journey and cast yourself the Hero' ‘Vividly imagine yourself winning'‘Save yourself hours of therapy with one heartfelt statement: You are good enough.'‘We were not born with the dream to achieve anything in life unless we had the ability to make it happen'‘When you're climbing the mountain of success, how often do you pause, turn around and admire the view to see how far you've come?' ‘When things look like they're falling apart, they're actually falling into place'VALUABLE RESOURCES The Business Mastermind Podcast  ABOUT THE HOST Gavin Preston Gavin is an inspirational Speaker, Business Strategist, Business Growth Mentor, Trainer andhigh-performance Coach.  He works with Business Owners and Entrepreneurs and has a strong track record in creating creative strategies to accelerate the growth of their business.
