By now, you might have known that I have set up and lead a group of Muslim financial consultants to promote cooperative insurance and shariah compliant funds in Singapore.
Many people thought that being a financial consultant is a very easy and glamorous job. Very flexible timing. You can work as and when you want. You are paid generous commissions. You get to travel all over the world for free.
It is further than the truth. What people don’t see is the hardwork. The rejections. The disappointment. The sacrifice. The failure, and persistency and willingness to get up back and move forward.
You fall, you rise up back.
You fall, you stand up again.
You fall, you bring yourself up to 2 feet and move forward again.
Step by step.
Just continue moving forward. Every single step counts. Move forward and build up your momentum.
One POWERFUL technique that I always share with my mentees, on how to magically transform your frustration, loss or failure into strength is to do a self reflection exercise by asking yourself 3 pertinent questions.
…………………………………………………………
…………………………………………………………
Ask the following questions to transform frustrations, loss or failure into strength:
1) What must I learn from this incident so that I can be better tomorrow?
2) What must I learn so that when faced with the same situation, I will be better off?
3) Who can help to me to face the same problem so that it will become easy and easier to overcome?
For winners, frustrations, loss and failure gives inspiration for us to continuously learn and take action till we become better and stronger. We always work to change every challenge that we faced into an opportunity.
Only the naive would hope that everything goes along with his desires. Always prepare for the worst situation and strive consistently and persistently to achieve the best results.
I hope this post inspires you. Remember, when you faced with any kind of frustrations, loss or failure, ask these questions to transform them into strength:
1) What must I learn from this incident so that I can be better tomorrow?
2) What must I learn so that when faced with the same situation, I will be better off?
3) Who can help to me to face the same problem so that it will become easy and easier to overcome?
