The ‘How to’ Guide in Grabbing Life by the Balls

The following introduces you to the concept of ACT. A three part process that will help you seize opportunities that come your way. To help you act, conquer and ultimately triumph over opportunities that you are confronted with in life.

 

 

Act

Opportunities come and go. None of these will ever come to anything other than a ‘missed opportunity’ if you do not act. There needs to be action on your part. It is up to you to pursue opportunities that you come across in every day life. You yield the power to determine if plans come about, to achieve success, to become greater, more powerful, more experienced and a happier person. You have the ability to act.

You must act swiftly to get what you want from life. You must recognise that hesitation is detrimental in moving forward with your life. When you have a chance to seize an opportunity. You must Act. You must act Swiftly.“

“I act swiftly to get what I want from life. He who hesitates is lost.”

 

Conquer

Conquering fears, concerns, regrets; feelings of apprehension, trepidation, nervousness, anxiety and any other feelings of unease is an essential part in your success. All of these emotions if channelled incorrectly can lead to a state of mind that is dominated by a pessimistic, negative attitude. You must avoid this happening. Face your emotions head on and conquer them. Recognise that your are in control. And only you control your emotions.

Before you can conquer your impediments and bring about a change, a change in direction, a change toward an attitude that recognises that you do in fact have control over how you feel, you must identify the obstacles in your way. For example the greatest hurdle we have is fear. Fear generated out of irrational thinking. Fear left over from a time when it was needed to direct us away from the unknown. From a time when it was evolutionary advantageous to remain within our comfort zone. When venturing out of the cave at night was dangerous.

You can use fear as power. You must fundamentally change your concept of what fear really is. Fear is not what is holding you back. Fear is the trigger that is used by everyone to create excuses. Excuses that stop them from moving forward. Fear is natural, not controllable, but manageable.

“Fear is the mind-killer. I will use my fear as power.”

Recognise that experiencing these emotions is all part of living and that it does not represent a weak character. Your ability to adapt to situations that you are confronted with by managing your emotions is the greatest test of character.

 

Triumph

A new opportunity that comes your way may bring both beneficial and detrimental results. Your task is to maximise the benefits and minimise any detrimental aspects. Expect and accommodate for change and you will not only excel but you will triumph.

Satisfaction is the result of bringing to fruition an achievement through action. Through diligence and persistence. Through a strong resolve and an ability to strive forward in the realms of the unknown. In expanding your comfort zone, by continuously venturing outside of it.

Triumph is not…

• A trophy or a medal given to you at the end of your life.

• Manipulation, Deceit or the ability to oppress others.

Triumph is…

• Feeling great about yourself.

• Using the best of what you have to become the best you can be.
