Learn How To 'Hang In There'
by Gerry Robert
Selling can be tough on a person. It can be tough on a family. Many people lack the mentality
to hang in there through the tough times. You can control your thoughts. You can practice
perspective by changing the way you interpret your circumstances, situation, and environments.
The task is not to see a new world but to see the world with new eyes. The persons who can
change the way they view their worlds will win without fail.
John Milton said "The mind in itself, in its own place, can make the hell out of heaven, heaven
out of hell."
You will experience in life the results dominant thought within your mind.
A stranger chanced upon several workers in a small town in Italy. Curious and interested, he
began to inquire from the workers as to what they were doing.
"I'm laying bricks," said the first worker. After a few minutes of idle chat, he asked another
worker, "What are you doing?" he continued, "Laying bricks, eh?"
The other worker somewhat indignantly responded, with shoulders straight and firmness of
voice, "Laying bricks? No, sir. I am building a catheral." Both workers were working on the
same job. One saw his task as laying brick upon brick upon brick, while the other saw a work
being offered to the glory of God.
Two people, two perspective! Why is it that some salespeople choose to see the worst in a
situation while the others choose to see the best in the same situation?
Why do some people constantly see what's gone wrong while the others look for what's right?
Which one do you think will succeed further on this great journey we're on?
Everyone has obstacles. Everyone needs perspective in the face of those challenges.
Your response to dealing with the storm of life will delicate the results you achieve.
What follows is practical solutions to dealing with those times in life when everything seems
to be going the opposite to your preferences.
Hang in There and Learn.
Challenge of life will come.
The only place on earth that we know of where there are no problems is the cemetery.
Everywhere else will be hit by the storms of life.
If you remember that there is something to learn in every problem, then you can learn to grow
by the storms rather than being crushed by them.
W. Mitchell said, "It's not what happens to us that counts, it's what happens in us."
He was right and he should know. His story of courage in becoming a serious burn victim and
subsequent plane crash casualty which left him paralysed is an inspiration of someone who has
sought to become better through adversity.
Michell learned about life and how to live it while recuperating from his injuries.
Take a good look at the obstacles in your path instead of cursing them and wishing them away,
ask yourself what you can learn from your situation. How can you become a better person through
them? Someone once said that we go on experiencing life's lessons until we learn what we need
to learn, then we can move on.
Remember, above every stormy cloud is a bright sun which never fades.
There is something to learn in every adversity!
Hang in There and Find the Gem.
There are two sides to every coin. The Chinese call this the Yin/Yang principal. Every negative
has a positive opposite. You just have to look for it.
One person's disaster will become the vehicle for another person to become wealthy. See your
challenges in life as blessings in disguise and try to uncover the hidden opportunities.
During the great depression, not everyone went belly-up. Some people actually became rich.
When you see a problem, you also need to see an opportunity.
One of the fastest ways to become wealthy is to solve someone's problems or difficulties.
Many successful businesses today have been born of someone's problem.
Take the man who took surplus sawdust from the lumber mills free of charge and formulated
several wood-burning products from it.
He saw the lumber yards had a problem with excess sawdust.
Other people didn't know what to do with it then. He acted and began a wonderful business.
Hang in There and Be Patient
Every problem will go away. Either it will change or you will. No problem is permanent. It
can't be permanent because everything is in a constant state of flux; everything changes.
Worry is useless. Instead of being ready to give in, just remember that every problem has a
limited lifespan.
Things will get better. Seek to grow.
"Tough times never last, but tough people do," Robert Schuller says.
How about communism? Or the Berlin Wall? Who could have guessed that within days, the entire
Berlin Wall would get demolished.
Within weeks, Communism would crumble. a problem which many people feared would plague the
Earth for centuries disappeared in a flash.
Look at you problem and ask, "Will this matter in five years from now? What about next year?"
"Worry is like a rocking chair; it will give you something to do, but it won't get you anywhere."
Hang in There and Think
There are no problems, there's only a shortage of ideas.
Problems are not problem. Ideas are the problems.
Every single problem, challenge, or storm you face today has as its solution an idea waiting
to be used.
If you could only understand that the only thing standing between your current problem, and
the wiping away of it is nothing but an idea.
So, get your eyes off your problems and onto the solution. You may not be able to do anything
about what has happened, but you surely can and should do something about finding a solution.
The solution may seem like a fantasy right now, but keep in mind that the airplane was nothing
but a fantasy until two brothers started searching for ideas to solve their fantasy. Fantasies
can become reality.
Hang in There and Be Grateful
Everyone has problems.
"The man with no shoes grumbles in the street, until he met the man with no feet."
You're not alone. Everyone has storms to face, the people who are winning the most in life
often have the biggest challenge in front of the.
The people who win the most in life are often the biggest risk takers.
Since you're not alone, why not align yourself with others who may be facing what you are
facing.
You should perhaps solve your problems together.
Upon returning from an extended international trip. I had an overwhelming amount of urgent
telephone messages to respond to.
Most of the calls were from successful business contacts or partners who were waiting upon
my direction for projects we were working on at the time.
It was the last thing I wanted to deal with; I was tired and just wanted to relax, but I had to.
I quickly put things into perspective when I realised that this is a problem I would have given
anything to have only a few years ago. I was successful and people wanted to work with me.
The point is that the more successful we become, the greater the challenge.
Never forget that the greater the obstacle, the greater the opportunity.
