There are obstacles in life that sometimes seem insurmountable: no matter how hard we try, we can't find a solution. It is in these cases that you must remember the "fifth vertebra" ...
"The obstacles of life discourage the mediocre man and feed the genius."
Théodore Géricault.
Last week I told you about the 40% rule and how our real limits are often far beyond our mental limits.
I hope you put it into practice.
Sometimes, however, despite all our efforts and our itch, certain obstacles in life simply seem insuperable, and continuing to insist is not necessarily the most ... effective way.
Well, if you find yourself bogged down in one of these situations know the secret of the fifth vertebra it will come in handy ... ;-)
How to overcome the obstacles of life effectively
I really hope you enjoyed this video-pill, but above all I hope it will be useful to you and to all those with whom you decide to share it.
However, there is a passage in the video on which I do not want there to be the slightest shadow. This:
"[...] if despite all your efforts, and I repeat, ALL your commitment, you're not taking anything home, then ... "
the secret of the fifth vertebra cannot and must not be a fucking EXCUSE.
In fact, in 80% of cases, if you have not yet reached your goals, this does not mean that the solution to your problems is elsewhere. It just means you've been chasing your goal for too long short while and with too much little intensity.
Remember the success curve?
Here, before putting the secret of the fifth vertebra into practice, make sure you have given your all and have had the patience to wait for the results to sprout.
If despite this, certain obstacles in life continue to seem insurmountable, then yes try to put into practice what I explain in the video.
Ok Andrè, a lot of good talk, but how the heck do I know if I still have to insist or if it's time to look for my "fifth vertebra"?
Practical advice
I would like to conclude this video-article by providing you with very concrete indications. So we avoid telling lies or making excuses:
- If your results are below your expectations right now, decide on one Expiration date for your goal. In practice you will have to commit to yourself to give 110% to reach your goal in the next "X" days. How many days? This depends on how ambitious your goal is. To be on the safe side, I'd do a nice one #sfida90901.
- Once the fateful expiration date has arrived, if you have finally made progress towards your goal ... keep going: it was "just" a problem of determination.
- If on the other hand, you still find yourself stuck and failed to overcome your obstacles, it's time to unplug and turn your attention and energy elsewhere. In short, you have to find your "fifth vertebra". If it helps, try these problem solving strategico.
All clear? So muv lo cul: you have work to do ;-)
“The obstacles in life don't stop me. Each osacle submits to rigid determination. Those who gaze at the stars do not change their mind. "
