Top Secrets To Soar In Life

During life’s journey, chances are challenges may come your way once in a while, but you can learn to soar above them. Challenges aren’t fun, but the lessons you can learn navigating them are invaluable.  How do you normally combat adversity when it occurs? Do you lose hope? Go ballistic in anger? Isolate and have a pity party?

Struggles may happen sometimes, but you can learn some ways to overcome them and come out on the other side stronger and wiser, soaring like an eagle. In fact, many people admit that they learned some of their most valuable life lessons going through trials and tribulations.  Let’s take a look at top secrets that leaders share to soar in life.

Determine To Focus On The Good

Even when challenges come, there is still some good in your life. Do your best to focus on the good, as it will help you attract more good into your life.  If you obsessively think about the struggles, you are likely to get stuck in bad moods and fear. Believe that you will be able to get through the adversity and learn valuable lessons from it.  Maybe you will get closer to family and friends during the trial or finally contend with that inner pain you’ve been running from for so long.  Or maybe you will discover a great love for yourself and others like you’ve never known before.  There is always a silver lining in the clouds.

Make An Accomplishment And Gratitude List

Each day write down what you are grateful for and some goals you’ve accomplished in your past. Maybe you’ve overcome great adversity before, yet you’ve forgotten. Think back to what you’ve achieved and write it all down to serve as a reminder that you can overcome hardship. You can soar. You may also want to create a vision board to give you inspiration. Being able to look forward past the adversity is important.  See yourself free from any negative feelings and living life happy and peaceful. 

This Too Shall Pass

You may have heard the phrase, “this too shall pass”, and this certainly applies to your situation as well. Though it might be difficult to believe it during the time, think of all the times in your past you have gotten through struggles and came out a better person.  This adversity is not etched in stone and you can get through it.  Try to see yourself past the obstacles, hurdles, and heartache. Envision yourself free from the problem or negativity.  It may help to use affirmations, such as:

“I am learning valuable things during this adversity about myself and about life. I will come out stronger and wiser. This difficult time will pass and I am thrilled to see the wonderful things on the other side of this!”

Go With Your Gut

When difficult times come, take some time to get quiet with yourself and be led by your inner voice.  In other words, go with your gut. Maybe you have been listening to others or concerned about others during this time and all that has done is stress you out.  Forget about others and focus on yourself. Surround yourself with people who uplift you and take time daily to work on improving your mood with affirmations and doing things you enjoy. 

Laugh Often

Smile and laugh often. Laughter really is medicine, so give yourself permission to do fun things and laugh as much as you want.  Get together with a friend and have some fun. Look through old photo albums and giggle at your old hairstyles and out of style clothes.  Watch comedies. Make a decision to lighten up despite whatever is going on in your life and as you do, watch your situation begin to change.

Conclusion

Try to look at the bigger picture of life. As you face challenges, know that that specific situation won’t last forever. It is simply an opportunity for growth and change at this moment.  Just look at all you’ve gotten through already!  Rough patches may come, but you can make a decision right now to look for the silver lining and utilize positivity and faith to pull you through.
