Break a Few Eggs

Break a Few Eggs

I’ve listened and read much over the years about keeping your thoughts and statements positive.  Thoughts like, “Why does this always happen to me?”, “What else am I suppose to do?”, and “I only have so many hours in a day“; these can be restraining and inhibit productivity toward your goals.  These thoughts are the opposite of what a highly motivated, goal-seeking person would think.  I believe that if you consistently have negative thoughts, statements and questions, then you’re venturing down the wrong path.  Yet, when we talk about goal-setting, we have to remember the “human being factor” – we’re humans with normal emotions and reactions to challenges.

For me, when something like an obstacle or time limitation pushes me to get emotional, I feel provoked and determined.  I react to challenges emotionally first.  Then, after some time of “getting my head on straight”, I take on a logical approach.  It’s then that I can explore answers at a deeper level.

I also use positive affirmations to get through my emotions.  I affirm every morning, “Be logical” and “Work smarter not harder”.  These statements allow me to take the previous day’s events and see if I can logically come up with a better solution to whatever had triggered me emotionally. 

Sometimes, I think you have to let yourself get emotional, so that you can provoke yourself toward change.  Remember the old saying “You’ve got to break a few eggs to make an omelet”?  I think you’ve got to stir things up inside in order to reach your ultimate goal.
