Resilient By Nature

Well hello there! I am back!

I know it has been a while since I have entered a post, but I wanted to get some value from Yair's story in my previous post because it is very inspiring. I would encourage you to read it if you haven't and then come and hear Yair speak on May 21. Check my previous post to get the details for this event.

Yair is a man with great resilience - he is, in fact, resilient by the very nature of his approach to life and challenges.

Many people are experiencing challenging times right now - there is a recession, jobs security is non existent, superannuation is in the toilet, stress level are through the roof, divorce is at its highest rate and we are more overweight and less well than ever. So, you would think that we really need to focus on being resilient....

Or do we?
I have an my own opinion about resilience and since this is my blog you are going to hear it!

I believe if we focus on the need to be resilient then we are creating even more stress for ourselves! Let me explain what I mean; If I am saying to myself that "I must be resilient", then obviously in the front of my mind I am thinking about challenging times. I am thinking about all the bad things that are currently happening to me, around me and all the things that might happen to me if I am not resilient. Therefore I am putting even more pressure on myself to "Be Resilient"!

If you read my previous post about Yair Kellner, you will know that what we think about we get. If we focus on challenging times, if we focus on financial downturn, if we focus on poor health or bad relationships then that is exactly what we will get. Yuck, who wants that?

The people that seem to thrive, at all times, irrespective of circumstances are the type of people, like Yair, who are resilient by nature.

Resilient By Nature
I know you are wondering what the difference is between 'focusing on being resilient' and being 'resilient by nature', so I will tell you. The difference is what you are focusing on and what is in the front of your mind. Those that are 'resilient by nature' are thinking about creating a desirable outcome, and the fact that there maybe challenging times is irrelevant. Those who are 'resilient by nature' never count the cost, they never worry about the sacrifice, they do the rights things all of the time because they have a goal and a burning desire to turn that goal into a successful reality.

Successful people are only interested in is doing the things that will take them closer to their goal - if a challenge appears they negotiate it quickly and find a solution effectively and keep moving forward. They have eyes only for what they want and they automatically become 'resilient by nature'.

Have you ever set your mind so firmly on something that the work to achieve it didn't feel like work at all? My mum had her eyes so firmly fixed on survival that any pain or discomfort was irrelevant to her - she was 'resilient by nature'. What about a child that wants a lollipop? There is no obstacle that will stop them until mum or dad has bought if for them - they are 'resilient by nature'.

The prestige car industry is in all sorts of trouble at the moment - or is it? Is it the industry or is it that the individual car companies are focusing on different things. The real estate industry is in ruins at the moment - or is it? Why is that some prestige car companies and some real estate businesses are experiencing growth in an 'economic crisis'? Are they immune? Do they have an extraordinary product? Do they have better customer service? Well maybe a little of each, but it is certainly not the difference between significant growth and devastating losses. The difference is that the companies that are growing are 'resilient by nature'. That is they are not focusing on the need to be resilient, they are focusing on growth. Every company, every small business and every individual is getting exactly what he/she/they are focusing on.

You can be resilient by nature by simply by fixing your vision firmly on what it is you want and then taking positive action and simple steps towards its attainment. Keep going, keep 'Dancing Until It Rains' and you will, irrespective of the circumstances, get what you want.
