BY SERGIO R IST IE

WE HAVE ALL BEEN IN THOSE S ITUATIONS. WHATEVER IS THE CASE , IT IS YOUR JOB TO

OVERCOME THESE OBSTACLES .

NOW, IT WON’T BE EASY. TO HELP, I HAVE PROVIDED TEN INCREDIBLE T IPS TO HELP INSPIRE AND IGNITE THAT PASSION AND

MOTIVATION FOR SUCCESS .

1 . ACCEPT YOUR FAILURES

START BY INTERNALIZ ING THE S ITUATION. REJECTING IT OR WALKING A WAY FROM IT WILL

NEVER HELP. ACCEPT IT AS IT IS SO THAT YOU CAN MOVE ON.

2 . KNOW YOUR GOALS

KNOWING YOUR GOALS WILL G IVE YOUR L IFE D IRECTION AND PURPOSE. IN FACT, IT

WILL HELP YOU DEFINE YOUR LEGACY.

3 . CELEBRATE THE SMALL WINS

THE FALL MAY BE HARD, BUT THERE ARE ALWAYS OPPORTUNIT IES FOR

YOU TO SMILE . TREAT THOSE SMALL WINS AS OLYMPIC GOLD.

4 . REFLECT

INTERNALIZ ING YOUR STRENGTHS, WEAKNESSES , AND YOUR OVERALL

S ITUATION IS ALWAYS BENEFIC IAL IN SPARKING YOUR MOTIVATION.

5 . ASK FOR HELP

EMBRACING YOUR VULNERABIL ITY AND SHARING YOUR THOUGHTS CAN HELP ALLEVIATE YOUR STRESS . IN FACT, YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY

CAN HELP BETTER D IRECT YOU TO YOUR GOALS .

TIME AND T IME AGAIN , YOU WILL NEED TO BE REMINDED OF WHY YOU ARE DOING A , B , AND C . NEVER FORGET WHAT BROUGHT YOU TO THIS PATH.

6 . FOCUS ON THE B IGGER P ICTURE

7 . GET ACTIVE

IN ADDIT ION TO HITT ING YOUR GOALS , MAKE SURE YOU STAY ACTIVE . WHETHER THAT IS GOING TO

THE GYM OR JOINING A SOCIAL CLUB , MAKE SURE YOU ARE PUSHING THE BEST PERSON YOU CAN BE .

CREATING THESE L IST WILL HELP KEEP YOU ON TASK AND FOCUS FOR THE NEXT OBJECTIVE .

8 . CREATE A TO -DO-L IST

TAKE A BREAK

ESPECIALLY DURING OUR DARKEST MOMENTS, SOMETIMES THE BEST THING YOU CAN DO IS TAKE A

BREAK. SPEND A WEEKEND RELAXING BOTH YOUR BODY AND MIND TO HELP YOU REJUVENATE FOR THE WEEK.

9 . BREATHE

DURING THE DAY-TO -DAY, L IFE CAN BE STRESSFUL . WHEN THIS HAPPENS, JUST TAKE A DEEP BREATHE. BREATHING IN THIS PARTICULAR WAY CAN HELP YOU SHAKE OFF THE NERVES AND BRING YOUR FOCUS BACK TO THE CENTER.

FOR THESE B IG OVERARCHING GOALS , THERE WILL BE A T IME WHERE YOU AND ONLY YOU CAN PUSH

YOURSELF. MAKE SURE THEY ARE THERE TO CHALLENGE YOU. THAT IS WHEN YOU BECOME GREAT.

10 . PUSH YOURSELF
