BE an Overcomer!

Champions are not those who never fails but those who never quits! This is probably one of the best phrase i've heard. Indeed life is build in such a way that if we don't lose hope, there'll always be solutions to move ahead in life. Life is a journey. There will be times when we are high up in the mountains and also times we are in the deep valley. No matter how high you go, there will be one day when the valley will come and hit you. But also when you are at the valley, your mountain of breakthough will eventually come. Here are some pointers to help you to become overcomers in life!

1) Access your situation.

If you are willing to take some time to look into your problem or obstacles you faced, you'll realise that it's not that bad after all. Many a times when we face problems in life. We always choose to hide it or to run away from it. When things are not tackled at the level when it is created. It'll snowball and escalate to a bigger problem at a later stage. Don't let it have a chance to run lose. Learn to acertain the problem immediately it arises.

2) Don't try to repeat the methods that doesn't work!

Someone once say this. It is insanity to do things repeatedly and expecting different results. When a problem occur in our limited mind, we tends to start off by using the easiest, effortless methods to solve our problems. The method may have helped us solved easier problems in the past. However as times goes by, the 'enemy' or problems gets bigger and it'll be difficult to use the former methods to deal with it. Solutions? UPGRADE YOUR STRATEGIES!

3) Learn to celebrate each small step you take.

Just visualise a baby just starting it's first step. It may look clumsy and very unconvincing whether he can move on to take the next. But every good parents will know that it's important to cheer the kid on every step of the way. Similar for us when we are adults. We tend to put away the 'cheers' and celebrations when we did something right. And probably the asian mentally which often accredited all these things to luck. Learn to give yourself a pat and pamper yourself with some things for the right things you've done. The journey is still long. Learn to every small hurdle you've cross thus far.

4) Prepare yourself for the next challenges ahead.

Don't dwell on past victories for too long. Yes, as mentioned in previous points, we should celebrate the wins in our life. But people do tends to fall into comfort zone if they are not careful. In the example of corporate world. IBM use to be the market leader in PC industry experiencing success in manufacturing of CPUs. However as success leads to complacency in many of the managers in leaders in the company. When the era of notebooks, new technologies. IBM refuse to make new changes which they use to and as a results, many companies overtook them such as dell, apple etc and they end up having to do a lot of chasing work. Hence be quick to anticipate next changes in your life!
