you can not do it alone.
The road to success is often a long and cumbersome journey. Anything worth building will take time and effort. There will be moments when you lose sight of what’s important. There will be times when giving up seems best. It is at these times that you need that extra push. That is what a support system is for.
A support system is defined as, ” a network of people who provide an individual with practical or emotional support.” You hand select a team, an individual, or build a system of things to push you above and beyond in those moments of pain, in order to maintain.
Finding and building that system of support is a necessary step on your path to success.
Find people who will:
- Tell you the truth
- inspire you
- Want you to succeed
- who are strong in character
Find like-minded people who also desire to succeed.
Stay away from people who are
- pessimistic
- Wish to coddle you
- procrastinators
- Deceitful
- Gossipers
- un-disciplined
Undeterred belief and determined spirit fuels the feet and powers the energy to continue across the finish line. you will need people who will direct your gaze upward when all around you seems bleak.
Take your time selecting the right people.
You may choose a team of people with desired characteristic or just one. If you choose one you can make that individual your accountability partner.
An accountability partner is one who will hold your feet to the fire; an individual that will trek with you on your journey, motivate you, give you much need encouragement, a push, and the cold hard truth when needed.
There are some who do not have a group of people or one person they can trust. In the event that you have no one you still have an option.
Create your very own inspiration guide.
In moments when you are most motivated collect inspiring videos, excerpts from books, audio tapes, quotes, inspiring images, self-talk film frames. Develop your own self-talk series on CD or video.
When you are at your breaking point, frustrated, tired, overwhelmed, or discouraged set a personal date and pull out your inspiration guide and fill your mind with positivism. Connect with those things that will build you up and breathe life back into your goal or mission.
