The Test – Will You Pass?

Category : Persistance

I want to talk today about what I call “The Test”.

Simply put, The Test is that roadblock that gets in the way of whatever it is we’re trying to be successful at. I’m sure a lot of you have gone through this, and if you haven’t, you will.

The Test will hit you so hard that you’ll begin to doubt if what you’re doing is worth it.

It could be a set back, or a major disappointment, or even something totally unrelated to your business.

But when it hits, Oh man, it makes you question everything.

A better way to describe it is: The Test is that thing that makes you come up with reasons to quit.

And we don’t realize it at the time, but that’s when we’re the closest to the success we seek.

You see, these tests are there to weed out the winners from the losers. Because most people will quit when it gets too hard. They become paralyzed and can’t move forward.

They begin asking debilitating questions like, Am I chasing a dream? Is this ever going to happen? or what’s wrong with me?

And since our brains are designed to answer all our questions based upon our state of mind at the time, It says “Of Course you’re chasing a dream”, “No it’s never going to happen” and “You’re a loser, that’s what’s wrong with you.”

So you get even more depressed and start that downward spiral to nowhere. Not good!

Can you tell I’ve been there a few times?

Well, in the past I’ve took the easy road and quit like many others do. And just recently I was hit with another test. And I seriously thought I was done. So I talked with my Mentors and as always, they gave me the answer.

So, wanna know what it is? How do you pass the test?

It’s simple. The Slight Edge. Consistent Daily Action. Action will un-paralyze you. Action will keep you focused. And by focusing on the Action, you start asking better questions. How can I make my dream a reality? How can I make this happen faster and better than I imagined? What is the one thing I can do today to move me closer to my goal?

You see how asking different questions can produce better answers?

By doing the daily actions, you’re telling the universe that this roadblock is not going to stop you. And the universe will open the way for you. That daily action will move you up the spiral, in the direction you need to go.

You know, if you model enough successful people, you will realize that their path to success was never without those roadblocks. And most of them were major roadblocks. But they kept at it and found success.

And by doing the same thing, you will too.

To Your Success!
