There are few paths in life that are straight, level, smoothly paved and clear of obstacles. Twists and turns in the road, fellow travelers who cross our path and the unexpected, random debris can cause us to go off course, change direction or turn back in defeat. Like they say, "if it was easy, anyone could do it."
Those who seek an easy, short jaunt to success are usually quickly disappointed. On the other hand, those who have only encountered failure might soon expect as much with every endeavor. Fortunately, hope springs eternal and most of us do eventually go up the learning curve, gaining valuable experience and knowledge with each outing.
When encountering an obstacle in one's path, how often is that stumbling block seen as an opportunity to get a better view of the road ahead? Do you turn away when the road isn't clear or are you the type of person who would rather go over an obstacle instead of around it? Are the people you meet, especially those in an MLM context who don't jump at the chance to sign up with you, seen as failures or possible resources for new leads?
I suggest that no one has a flat easy road to success. Rather, there are some who have learned to better deal with adversity, to make lemonade out of lemons, to stay focused on their end goal and not get bothered by the normal challenges that all successful people face and overcome. The first step is to change your outlook about the difficulty of your journey, prepare yourself as best you can, and commit to persevering when the expected and unexpected challenges occur. There is no secret, no magic wand, no insider tips that guarantee success. YOU and you alone determine how successful you will be.
