ACCOMPLISHMENTS

ROADBLOCKS HOW DO WE OVERCOME THEM?

by

Life is full roadblocks.  Some of us see a roadblock and stop.  Some of us see a roadblock as a hurdle.  We find a way to go around it or jump over it.  The latter is the kind of person I like to be and believe myself to be.  Viewing a life full of roadblocks, is realistic.  Life, especially when dealing with complicated situations will present us with “roadblocks”.  If we turn away, without looking for a way around, we basically allow these roadblocks to control us and our decisions.  You can be the most intelligent person on this planet, but if you do not know how to proceed around roadblocks rather than turn away, you won’t get very far with this.  

Let us take a look at the definition of a roadblock in our Webster Dictionary and the daily wisdom words definition.  

Webster Definition of roadblock-1.  Something that blocks progress or prevents accomplishment of an objective.

Daily Wisdom Words Definition-a temporary workaround that stops us in our tracks but doesn’t stop us more than temporarily.  

Creativity is a quality that is just as important as intelligence but without persistence, creativity in and of itself, can’t guide you around the roadblocks in life.  When we take creativity and add persistence and intelligence, we have a winning mix of  human success.  If we have a dream, unless we attempt to make it reality, it will always be just a dream in our mind.  A dream is no different that a dream you have when you are sleeping and wake up.  You may remember a dream as meaningful, but chances are it is forgotten or placed in our imagination never to play on into reality.  A dream we never play out by trying despite the roadblocks we should expect will sadly remain just this.  Let us refer to roadblocks to also be thought of as looking at a map.  If I want to go to Colorado from Arizona, there is more than one path to get there.  This is how we must view roadblocks in life.  

Persistence, which I mentioned is a quality needed to bring a dream into reality is nothing more than making a decision with vision and a plan.  The more specific the plan is adding some flexibility for the roadblocks in life is one that, with the right plan will be successful.  I feel very confident, if you have a plan with logistics and a specific plan you will achieve your dream.

A dream that is something in your heart and head is a dream that is very powerful with persistence and creativity and I believe with the right plan we can achieve it.  There will always be those individuals who are the negative nellies telling us that our dream is unrealistic and impossible.  They will have many reasons why your dream will not succeed and may have valid points, but only you in your heart with the right plan will know it is possible with proper persistence.  One of the first poems I wrote when I was maybe 11 or 12 years old, still rings true today for me:  It goes like this:  “Never give up on something you really want, not until the end.”  When all else fails, make sure to begin once again.”  This still comes to mind for me when I wish to turn a dream into reality.  

Thanks so much for reading.

TRIUMPHS

by

WE ALL ENJOY EXPERIENCING THE FEELING OF TRIUMPH  I THINK OF TRIUMPH AS THE FIGHT WE HAVE TO PUT UP OVERCOMING SOMETHING DIFFICULT.  IT IS THAT FEELING OF EXULTATION THAT WE EXPERIENCE WHEN WE FINALLY OVERCOME HARD OBSTACLES IN LIFE.  TRIUMPH IS A WONDERFUL FEELING, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT IS ABOUT PERSONAL CHALLENGES YOU GIVE YOURSELF. LET’S TAKE AT THE DEFINITION OF TRIUMPH IN THE WEBSTER DICTIONARY AND DAILY WISDOM WORDS DEFINITION.

WEBSTER DEFINITION-1.  A GREAT VICTORY OR TRIUMPH

DAILY WISDOM WORDS DEFINITION-BEING VICTORIOUS OVER A GREAT ACHIEVEMENT IN CHALLENGING ONESELF.

ACHIEVING SOMETHING, ESPECIALLY WHEN WE ACCOMPLISH GOALS WE SET, MEANS A GREAT DEAL TO US.  THIS IS HOW WE LEARN SELF-RESPECT AND SELF-RELIANCE.  I BEIEVE SOMETIMES IN LIFE, SELF-GROWTH IS PART OF OUR JOURNEY TOWARDS ACHIEVEMENT, AND THE BIGGEST ACCOMPLISHMENTS ARE THOSE WE SET FOR OURSELVES.  RIGHT NOW, I AM ON A LONG JOURNEY TOWARDS TRIUMPH, WITH A LONG WAY TO GO.  HOWEVER, ONE THING I DO KNOW IS TO SET SMALL GOALS OF ACCOMPLISHMENT ALONG THE WAY TO ENCOURAGE ACHIEVING THE LONG-TERM GOAL.

WHEN WE WISH TO TRIUMPH IN SOMETHING, WE WILL ACHIEVE THE LONG-TERM GOAL SETTING SHORT-TERM ONES.  TRIUMPHS ARE “GRAND” ACCOMPLISHMENTS TO ME.  THEY HAVE TO DO WITH THOSE FEATS IN LIFE WE COME ACROSS ONLY A FEW TIMES.  I HAVE LISTED SOME HELPFUL ADVICE IN WORKING TOWARDS TRIUMPH OF A HUGE GOAL.  

1.  SET SMALL GOALS ALONG THE WAY.  THIS IS HOW WE USE POSITIVITY TO ENCOURAGE OURSELVES TOWARDS THE END OF OUR JOURNEY.

2.  MAP OUT YOUR GOAL.  THIS INCLUDES SEVERAL THINGS INCLUDING SETTING UP A TIME LINE WITH WHAT YOU THINK IS REALISTIC TO ACHIEVE IT.  

3.  USE AMMUNITION TO INCREASE YOUR CHANCES OF SUCCESS.  FOR EXAMPLE, USE AFFIRMATIONS WHEN YOUR FEELING DISCOURAGED.  AFFIRMATIONS ARE A POWERFUL TOOL ACCESSED BY WRITING DOWN YOUR GOAL AS IF YOU’VE ALREADY ACHIEVED IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN.  USE OTHER TOOLS SUCH AS A CHART WHICH SHOWS STEP BY STEP HOW YOU WILL; ACHIEVE YOUR TRIUMPH.

4.  HAVE FAITH IN YOURSELF.  WE ALL WILL OCCASIONALLY SLIDE DOWN TEMPORARILY ON OUR ROAD TO SUCCESS.  THE KEY IS NOT TO GIVE UP AND GET BACK ON TRACK AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.  

I CHOSE THE WORD “TRIUMPH” TODAY, BECAUSE WE HAVE ALL MOST LIKELY SET NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS, AND SOME OF THEM WILL REQUIRE REAL WORK TO ACHIEVE.  I BELIEVE THE ABOVE TIPS CAN BE A KEY ELEMENT IN ACHIEVING YOUR TRIUMPHS.

ENCOURAGEMENT

by

ENCOURAGEMENT IS A VERY IMPORTANT DAILY WISDOM WORD.  IT IS IMPORTANT TO ENCOURAGE OTHERS.  WE KNOW HOW IT FEELS TO BE ENCOURAGED BY SOMEONE ELSE, ESPECIALLY SOMEONE WE ADMIRE.  THE SAME IS TRUE FOR THEM.  WE ALL LOSE HOPE FROM TIME TO TIME.  WE HAVE TOUCHED UPON TRIUMPHS AND GOALS SO FAR THIS YEAR.  PART OF REACHING THESE TRIUMPHS IS TO BUILD A HEALTHY SUPPORT SYSTEM AROUND YOU.  ENCOURAGEMENT FROM OTHERS IS NEEDED FROM TIME TO TIME SO WE DON’T GIVE UP TOO SOON ON A LONG-TERM GOAL.  WHEN WE HAVE A GOAL, WITHOUT A SUPPORT SYSTEM, WE ARE LEFT TO DEPEND ON OURSELVES ONLY, AND ALTHOUGH THIS IS THE MAJOR KEY TOWARDS SUCCESS WITH ANY GOAL, ENCOURAGEMENT RANKS RIGHT UP AT THE TOP AS WELL.  LET’S LOOK AT THE WEBSTER AND DWW MEANING OF ENCOURAGEMENT.  

WEBSTER DEFINITION OF ENCOURAGEMENT-1.  THE ACTION OF GIVING SOMEONE SUPPORT, CONFIDENCE OR HOPE.  2.  PERSUASION TO DO OR CONTINUE DOING SOMETHING.  3.  THE ACT OF TRYING TO STIMULATE THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN ACTIVITY, STATE OR BELIEF.

DWW MEANING OF ENCOURAGEMENT-THE ABILITY TO GIVE SUPPORT TO OTHERS AND OURSELVES.  

STAYING UPBEAT AND POSITIVE ABOUT SOMETHING WE ARE TRYING TO ACHIEVE IS NOT EASY.  THIS IS WHERE ENCOURAGEMENT CAN HELP ALONG THE WAY.  WE ALL NEED SUPPORT FROM TIME TO TIME.  WE ALL NEED ENCOURAGEMENT.  FIRST WE WILL TALK ABOUT WHY THE HUMAN PSYCHE NEEDS ENCOURAGEMENT.  

DETERMINATION IS KEY.  HOWEVER, SOMETIMES, WE SIMPLY GET DISCOURAGED.  WHEN SOMEONE ELSE OFFERS A BIT OF ENCOURAGEMENT, IT REMINDS US WHY WE ARE SO DETERMINED TO  WITH A GOAL OR ACHIEVEMENT.  IT HAS BEEN SHOWN THAT PEOPLE WHO START A MAJOR FEAT WITH A STRONG SUPPORT SYSTEM AROUND THEM, THEY ARE MORE LIKELY TO ACHIEVE IT. 

SOMETIMES FOR MYSELF, I GET DEPRESSED.  WHEN I AM FEELING THIS WAY, I TEND TO TURN TO MY MOTHER OR BEST FRIEND.  I ADMIRE BOTH.  MY MOTHER HAS WALKED THE PATH OF LIFE, AND OVERALL, MAINTAINS A STONG SENSE OF ENCOURAGEMENT TOWARDS OTHERS.  SHE IS NOT ONLY A GOOD LISTENER, BUT HAS STOPPED LECTURING AS SHE ONCE DID WHEN YOU ADMIT A MISTAKE.  SHE ALSO HAS GOOD ADVICE.  MY BEST FRIEND, IS THE PERFECT PERSON TO GET ENCOURAGEMENT FROM.  SHE WILL SUPPORT YOUR ENDEAVORS AND DOES NOT JUDGE THEM.  SHE ALSO WILL HAVE HELPFUL SUGGESTIONS FOR GETTING YOURSELF BACK UP AND DUSTING OFF TO RETURN TOWARDS THE RIGHT ROAD.  

WE CAN ENCOURAGE OURSELVES AS WELL.  THERE IS NOTHING, HOWEVER THAT CAN REPLACE THE SUPPORT THAT A FRIEND WHO LOVES YOU CAN PROVIDE.  HOWEVER, THIS FRIEND IS ALSO GOING TO NEED ENCOURAGEMENT FROM TIME TO TIME.  WE WILL USE MY BEST FRIEND FOR AN EXAMPLE.

DEBBIE IS ALWAYS THERE IF YOU NEED HER.  I BELIEVE WE NEED SUPPORT AND ENCOURAGEMENT, BUT MUST ALSO GIVE IT TO OTHERS.  I HAVE A SAYING IN LIFE.  “PAY IT FORWARD”.  WHEN SOMEONE PROVIDES SUPPORT, PAY IT FORWARD AND BE THERE FOR THAT PERSON OR SOMEONE ELSE WHEN THEY NEED YOU.  

OFTEN, PEOPLE DON’T SAY THEY NEED ENCOURAGEMENT OUTRIGHT.  THEY HOWEVER, WILL GIVE YOU A CLUE THEY NEED ENCOURAGEMENT, IF YOU ACTIVELY LISTEN TO THEM.  THEY WILL TELL YOU A PROBLEM SEEKING ADVICE SOMETIMES THINKING THAT IS WHAT THEY WANT.  MANY TIMES, THEY HAVE THE PROPER ANSWER TO THE SITUATION AND IT IS NOT SOLUTIONS THEY NEED, BUT ENCOURAGEMENT.  BEING A GOOD LISTENER, AND KNOWING SOMEONE CAN OFTEN GIVE YOU THE PROPER CLUES TO KNOW WHAT THEY ARE IN NEED OF.

THANKS SO MUCH FOR READING ABOUT ENCOURAGEMENT TODAY.  IT IS PART OF AN OVERALL PROCESS WE CAN USE IN OUR TOOL SET TO ACHIEVE AND CONQUER.  SAMANTHA LEBOEUF/DWW
