I have been reminded that I am capable of imposing my convictions on others when I am not able to see their vision. When others aren't aware of what you see for yourself, they will not trust your decisions for them. Standing firm in your convictions, conveying your vision cleary, and not allowing others to strip that power from you will cause you to win life. Where in life are you allowing others to take the fall for a choice that should have been yours?
Stand Up and Believe in Yourself
- When your conviction comes into question, how will you respond? My oldest daughter is coming into her fourth season playing Club Volleyball. She has worked hard, and her fundamentals are on point; a new environment, though, can cause you to question yourself. She is going to the top team, and they are a national team and no joke.
-
She went to try out, and it consisted of three evaluations; before the try out day, she came home after the first evaluation down on herself. She was intimidated by some of the talents that showed up, and she didn't perform her best. That one failure or time that you are not at your best doesn't mean that it will always be that way. I think we all can relate to feeling that way when we lose a listing to someone else.
-
We begin to question our efforts, talent, and reps. On the second evaluation, I asked her what she was going to do differently; she told me she was going back to what she knows. She knows she has to eat correctly and envision herself in that place of success. She began to imagine how the ball would come towards her and running on the court back and forth; she also listens to music to get her mind right and focused.
-
During the second and third evaluations, she completely dominated her space and came in there with confidence. She was reminded that she needed to act like it was already her team. When you are disappointed in yourself, you need to be reminded that this is YOUR business; act like a business owner! There are times when you forget that because you are distraught over your current situation and not focused.
-
If you don't stand up to what is required, you will lose your business. My daughter made the top team, and I was very proud of her; I knew she could do it, but until she did, it didn't matter. I believe in all of you, but that doesn't matter; it comes down to what you believe for yourself.
Is Your Vision Clear?
Conviction Breeds Confidence
- If you are content at where you are, then don't put pressure on yourself to want more. But if you want more and feel depressed that you don't have more, you need to stand firm on your convictions.
-
My daughter found what she needed and more at Michaels; I then became frustrated about how much this project, my daughter wanted to create was going to cost. I took a step back and started to ask better questions about what she was doing.
-
When she had the opportunity to explain her project to me, she became excited, and I could see her vision. Her motivation increased, and it was not a burden for her to do this; I was making it a burden. She finished her project without any help from Carla or me. She worked on this project for four hours, and if I had imposed my will on her, the motivation would not have been there.
-
I was impressed by my daughter's work and ambition; when I saw her vision, she was motivated to do more and to over-deliver. Imagine if your family had your back; do you not think that you would be motivated? Do you not feel that you would go all in as opposed to feeling the guilt? My daughter had her conviction, and when it came into question, she responded by standing firm.
-
Stand firm and you will succeed in your business, your health, and life. There will be conflict and resistance. A 10-year old cannot convey her vision, but you are an adult and can communicate that to your family. When you refuse to stand firm in your conviction, it isn't your family’s fault. You refuse to convey your vision because you continue to concede.
-
Venus Williams, a four-time Olympic Gold Medalist, has won 49 singles titles in her career; she said,” Some people say I have an attitude; maybe I do, but I think I have to. You have to believe in yourself when no one else does; that makes you a winner right there.” These are people who are winning at a high level, and I am sure she conveyed to her friends and family what she wanted to accomplish.
-
Do you want to succeed? Stand firm in your convictions, or you will always go where the wind blows. My daughter knew what she wanted, and if she had changed her mind, she would have lost her confidence, relying on the opinions of others. Maybe you are in that place and can't decide without asking for others' input. Take a lesson from my 10-year old.
-
Stop asking for permission from others; just do it. Carla has said,” No, I am not a bitch; you won’t walk all over me.” Imagine if you approached life that way; you aren't a jerk for standing firm, but you won't allow others to walk all over you. You know what you want, people may not like you, but there are people who love you and know you are here to make an impact.
