If you’re building an organization or if you’re building a business of any kind, you’re going to have negative things happen to you. No way around it.
When negative things happened, it used to bother me a great deal. I’d lose sleep and stress myself out like crazy. I’d get so frustrated that I would want to rip people’s heads off.
But for the sake of saving my sanity, I found a magical solution that I’ve never heard anyone else.
I’m by no means totally free from stress (we all have our moments) but I’ve learned to get over things VERY quickly and today I’m going to give you my secret...
2 words…
Purposeful Amnesia
I purposefully train my mind to forget about negative experiences VERY quickly.
Here’s how you do it…
When bad things happen, stop talking about them. Every time you complain, it’s like picking a scab… you just continue to prolong the injury.
When someone quits, stop bad mouthing them. Even if you’re right.
Stop broadcasting your issues on social media.
Here’s a hint… you think you’re "venting" - other people think you’re just a negative complainer.
When this negative thing pops up in your mind, focus your mind elsewhere.
Major Golden Nugget Alert: ZERO positive comes into your life by wishing the past was different.
Wishing things were different in the past is an absolute and total waste of mental energy.
By focusing on past negativity, you allow your past to sabotage your future.
The past is history, the future is a mystery, and today is a gift - that’s why it’s called the present.
So, my friend, the next time something negative happens, learn from any mistake you may have made and immediately implement my 2 key words…
