You’ve got a deadline and there\u2019s a lot to do to make sure you meet it.\u00a0 It\u2019s just as you near the finish line that the proverbial stuff ![\"drama-does-not-just-walk-into-your-life\"](\"https:\/\/harbirzinc.com\/sandradawes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/drama-does-not-just-walk-into-your-life-300x300.jpg\")
hits the fan and you\u2019re wondering how you’ve ended up in the middle of what feels like the perfect storm!\u00a0 While it can be easy to get sidetracked by the craziness of life, I thought I\u2019d look at some ways to avoid (or limit) the drama, so that you can refocus on the goals you’ve set out to achieve.\u00a0 By no means is this an extensive list!<\/p>\n
<\/strong>If you’ve read my book Embrace Your Destiny: 12 Steps to Living the Life You Deserve, <\/em>then you know that I dedicated an entire chapter to not taking things personally!\u00a0 It\u2019s been one of my biggest and most valuable lessons.\u00a0 We’ve all got personal issues that we\u2019re dealing with.\u00a0 As much as we often forget it, the world does not revolve around us.\u00a0 People actions and words are not determined by how you will react to them.\u00a0 Once you understand this, you don\u2019t get offended as often and no longer assume that people are doing things or acting a certain way just to get a rise out of you.<\/li>\n <\/strong>This one comes from a book I read years ago titled Getting to Yes!\u00a0 <\/em>It\u2019s harder to find a resolution to the problem when you have issues with the people involved.\u00a0 I\u2019m sure that we’ve all had to work with personalities that were challenging for us.\u00a0 If we don\u2019t find a way to move beyond perceived character flaws and focus on resolving the issue, we aren’t going to get very far.\u00a0 We\u2019re not going to love everyone that we have to deal with personally or professionally, but we ought to find a way to come from a place of respect no matter what!<\/li>\n <\/strong>This is another big one.\u00a0 It can be easy to put the blame on others for things that don\u2019t work out the way that we want them to.\u00a0 If we want to move forward and achieve personal growth and awareness, we have to take responsibility to for our part in our present circumstances.\u00a0 Everything is about choice.\u00a0 Even when you feel that you don\u2019t have a choice, you\u2019re the one that choosing to limit your perspective.\u00a0 When you take responsibility for the state of your life, you can do something about the areas of your life that aren’t The challenges and obstacles that arise when you\u2019re pursuing your goals are inevitable.\u00a0 Whether or not it affects the level of success you\u2019re going to achieve, is completely up to you!\u00a0 Of course, when you want something bad enough and you\u2019re putting your blood, sweat and tears into it, the smallest things can appear as giant mountains in the path to the achievement of your goals.\u00a0 Stay focused, breathe, and remind yourself of why your goal is so important to you.\u00a0 Stay committed no matter what.\u00a0 If there\u2019s one thing that I’ve learned, it\u2019s that persistence pays off and when you look back in 5 years, these bumps in the road will be nothing but a distant memory.\u00a0\u2665<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" You’ve got a deadline and there\u2019s a lot to do to make sure you meet it.\u00a0 It\u2019s just as you near the finish line that the proverbial stuff hits the fan and you\u2019re wondering how you’ve ended up in the middle of what feels like the perfect storm!\u00a0 While it can be easy to get […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[31,8],"tags":[383,748,21,609,749,750,751,752],"class_list":["post-1995","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-relationships-2","category-thoughtoftheday","tag-achieving-goals","tag-avoiding-distraction","tag-dreams","tag-focus","tag-getting-to-yes","tag-separate-the-people-from-the-problem","tag-stop-taking-things-personally","tag-take-responsibility-for-your-life"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/harbirzinc.com\/sandradawes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1995","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/harbirzinc.com\/sandradawes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/harbirzinc.com\/sandradawes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/harbirzinc.com\/sandradawes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/harbirzinc.com\/sandradawes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1995"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/harbirzinc.com\/sandradawes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1995\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/harbirzinc.com\/sandradawes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1995"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/harbirzinc.com\/sandradawes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1995"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/harbirzinc.com\/sandradawes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1995"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
