Ways Successful People avoid Setbacks & Disappointments in Their Lives

27



1- Is Your Life a Life Without

Direction? -

Without a target, your life will just drift by – you will mosey along. We all see goalsdifferently. Some of us see them as inspiring and essential to success. Others will

resist them like mad: and the thought of setting goals will make them feel

uncomfortable. Why? Well sometimes it is because it forces them to make a decision

they do not wish to make. Now all of these things can be challenging for some

people. The word “goal” can be a turn off. If so, choose another word.

TIP: Make sure you know in which direction you are going in life. Be proactive

instead of reactive. Create the Health, Wealth and Relationships you would like to

have in life. PS Life Can Be Easy can show you how!



2- The Best Things in Life Are Free! -

Easy to forget but true. Some of those special quiet moments can be found with

the air, the sky and the sea. Take a walk in the countryside, or feed the birds in your

garden or park. Enjoying silence or listening to the sound of water will all “feed

the soul”, relax your body and can help soothe your cares away. The good news is,

they do not require a credit card either!

TIP: Keep your natural energy up by tuning into the “simple” things in life. It is

what nature intended, what your soul is seeking and the easiest and cheapest to

access. True happiness can be free.

3- Are You Being Appreciative? -

Most people ask themselves, “Have I done well?” “Are my efforts good enough?”

“Am I valued in this company?” We naturally forget to praise and appreciate

others: eventually they get the message and leave. We can be afraid that showing

our appreciation may lead to complacency by the recipient, when in fact it

encourages them to do even better.

TIP: Remember to make your team feel valued and respected. It increases their self

esteem, your street cred and usually the company profits! A win-win for all!



4- Garbage in – garbage out! -

With a busy daily schedule it is so tempting to cut corners when eating rather than

be late. Processed foods, fast foods and snacks are all very well, but beware they

are not quite what your body would choose to have, if it were up to it to decide.

The body is a wonderfully resilient organ, but it stands to reason, just as your car

performs better and for longer on the “right fuel” from the pump. Your body will

perform better and for longer on the “right food” from the table, thus maximising

your energy levels.

TIP: Be kind to your body and only ask it to have what nature intended wherever

possible. You know it makes sense.

5- Take Care Of Your Environment! -

Modern day living pollutes, makes noise and even destroys nature if we are not

careful. We all contribute. Nature gave us the environment for our lives, survival and

enjoyment. The more we care and respect it, the more it will serve and reward us.

TIP: Recycle, respect and reduce excesses wherever possible. We cannot change the

past, but we can shape the future; for ourselves, our children and our

grandchildren. It is the greatest gift we can give ourselves – and them.



6- What Goes Around Comes Around! -

What we give off is what we attract back to ourselves in return. If we are mean to

others, expect them to be mean back. If we love others unconditionally and

without judgement, we stand a much greater chance of being loved regardless

and be free from judgement by others in return. Desirable or what?

TIP: Treat others the way you like to be treated yourself. It makes for a happier and

freer world. It makes for a happier You!

7- Value your time! -

It is so easy to get caught up in doing for others all the time. Sometimes we do not

realise just how much this is taking over our own life.

TIP: To make the best investment in oneself, set aside time for you regardless. As

a result, everything else in your day will flow more effortlessly for you as a result.



8- Don’t just spend time IN your

business, spend time ON it -

With a busy schedule we can be so absorbed with business implementation wecannot find time for business planning. All businesses thrive best when they have

time spent on them as well as in them. Results come more smoothly, easily and

according to plan.

TIP: Take and make time to work on the business as well as in it. It will pay

dividends in terms of pleasure, profit and sustainability in good times and bad.

9- Don’t be a Couch Potato! -

Your body was designed to move regularly to keep it in shape. It is easy to forget

this and sit at a computer, a desk or behind a steering wheel for longer periods

than nature intended. Movement and exercise needs to be regular, rather than a

bolted on accessory to a stress filled life.

TIP: Keep active! You don’t need to be a fitness freak to stay in shape. Choose

walking before wheels when possible. The stairs instead of the lift, a regular break

from the chair. This is the very least you should aim for to stay vitalised and healthy.

Moving body = relaxed body = relaxed you!



10- Celebrate Your Successes! -

Sometimes we can become so obsessed with ‘to do’ lists we can forget to

acknowledge our “gains”. Now lists, plans and goals are essential for anyone who

wants to get on in life, but if they do not include celebration breaks, however

small, it can become the never ending treadmill to the finishing line. Only to get

there knackered and dejected!

TIP: Make a point of acknowledging 3 wins or gains each day. Something you have

achieved, conquered or learned for the first time. This will energise your body, free

up your mind and raise your self esteem immeasurably. Try it and see! You will not

be disappointed.

W a y s S u c c

11- Are You Half Full or Half Empty? -

There are two categories of people in life – the half full glasses and the half empty

glasses. The latter are gloomier, more prone to illness or depression and have more

problems in life. The other, (guess which one?) are cheerier, healthier and can

always see the positive side of any given situation, regardless of the problem. For

them, every cloud has a silver lining!

TIP: Remember “everything happens for a reason” in life, even if we do not

understand why at the time. By looking for the positive instead of the negative in

any given situation, we are staying in a higher energised state in our body,

attracting more success to ourselves in our lives. Success breeds success!



12- Are You Listening? -

Yes, the most productive people take every opportunity to quieten their mind,

refocus and work from intuition. Listening to music, an educational CD or

meditation all help to maximise our performance and minimise down time, leaving

more time to relax and play at the end of it.

TIP: While travelling to and from the work place, listen to some inspirational music

or the PS Life Can Be Easy CD’s. This can help you focus for the day ahead and relax

your mind on the journey home.

W a y s S u c c

13- Are You Still Living in the Past? -

We have all done things in the past that we wish had turned out differently. It’s

called learning or life. Our ego’s would have us believe it is important to be “right”

all of the time suggesting it will make us feel more secure, important and in

control of any given situation. Wrong! Such a reaction is coming from fear or

insecurity not to mention self doubt and lack of trust.

TIP: Don’t dwell in the past. Let go of judgements of others, any disappointments

and what might have beens. Don’t do it for others, do it for you. Free yourself of

that negative energy around disappointment. It is only a decision, that is all. It’s

another key to happiness and freedom for you!!



14- Do You Always Need to Find the

Answer Yourself? -

There is no point. Before feeling you always have to start from scratch, check andsee if there are other peoples’ experiences you can check out. You can then ask

questions and learn from them so that you can achieve your result more quickly,

more effectively and more successfully too. It can save you time, energy and money.

We can learn so much from our elders who have already “bought the tee shirt”.

TIP: Stay open to learning from others to get a better result for you. We learn

something every day until we die. Aim to die happy!

W a y s S u c c

- Be Decisive -

Leadership which is indecisive holds progress back and staff morale with it. It

also drains the leader of energy, so vital in any successful business. Successful

business has to have progressive momentum.

15

TIP: Recognise the difference between consensus of opinon and procrastination.

One equals success, the other a stalling of progress. Make sure you can make a

decision and stick to it. It gives confidence to the staff, a clear business direction

and preserves your own energy, all in one go.



16- Is Your Life Worth Remembering? -

Keep a Daily Journal. Not to record the local gossip but to record your own

progress. Writing is constructive, freeing and therapeutic. It can be used for

emptying the head of all sorts of negativity e.g. someone who irritates you, a

health plan in progress, or recording your gains and achievements. It can be used

as a check in, a diary of events or even your best friend. By using it as a daily

support it can become invaluable to you in your quest for success.

TIP: At the end of each day, write down an account of events. This will free your

mind, help you sleep more soundly and you will naturally waken needing less sleep

as a result. At PS Life Can Be Easy we can help you with exercises too.

17- Can You See the Wood

From the Trees? -

If we live in a muddle, the chances are our mind is in a muddle. Whether it is in theoffice, car, sitting room or bedroom, scattered objects left untidily are an energy

drainer. They are unfinished business, a job to do, a task unfulfilled. When we are

constantly reminded of what has not been done, we are less likely to be able to

recognise what we have achieved.

TIP: Take time to tidy your environment. Papers, rubbish, clothes and clutter all hold

us back from feeling successful, if they are left lying around. De-clutter your life by

getting rid of what no longer serves you. This frees up space for new opportunities.

Notice the difference! You’ll be glad that you did!



18- Perfection Vs Excellence! -

One is not achievable, the other is perfectly possible. Know the difference.

Sometimes we are so busy worrying about being judged by others or being second

best that we end up on a treadmill to dissatisfaction within. Very often this is

programming from an early age, push pushing for the impossible. Striving for

excellence on the other hand is ambitious, constructive and exciting as we aim to

be all we can be, do all we can do and have all we can have. All this comes from

using our individual motivation and talents.

TIP: Strive for Excellence rather than Perfection. It makes life a lot easier and more

enjoyable. Such is the secret to inner happiness. Your life will be easy too!

W a y s S u c c

19- Do You Always Need To Win

the Argument? -

Sometimes there is not an obvious right or wrong. It is just what is; two opinionson any given situation. By being open to the other’s point of view, you will do two

things for yourself: 1. Reduce any negative energy in your own body and 2. Defuse

any tension in the situation. At best, this will increase the possibility of a fair and

amicable outcome for all. At worst it has prevented an escalation into a full painful

dispute or confrontation.

TIP: Try to see the other person’s point of view. It can save you a lot of pain, stress

and frustration.



20- Are You Starving Your Soul? -

Giving or making a difference means different things at different times to

different people. Some like to do acts of kindness, be neighbourly. Some like to

raise money for charity, give back to the community. Others may share their

knowledge to help others succeed or lead a group: making a contribution –

giving, for the benefit of others. It makes us feel more fulfilled and complete as

an individual.

TIP: Help your fellow man. Not just for public recognition – but because you want

to. It is called feeding the soul!

W a y s S u c c

21- All Work and No Play Makes

Jack a Dull Boy! -

Finding time can be difficult when juggling work with children and othercommitments. Especially when the children’s own hobbies come first! Be mindful that

by giving all your time to the children’s hobbies you could become a bore yourself!

It is easily done with the pressures of family life. We may become better parents when

we look after our own well being as well as our children’s. Hobbies do not need to

take a great deal of time or money. It is simply time for you, doing what you want to

do, a re-energiser. Children do not point this out to you; they will take all the

attention they can get.

TIP: Evaluate the time you get to spend on your hobby. Do you have one? Would you

like one? What will it be? When can you get started? In spending quality time for

yourself you will give quality parenting to your children. Which of course is what

you are trying your best to do anyway, right?



22- Keep up Momentum! -

We cannot progress with anything in life without momentum. It’s another word

for energy. To lose momentum is to stall, falter and lose ground. It always requires

much more effort to regain momentum when lost. Whether it is your fitness,

business or relationship- they all benefit from gathering momentum.

TIP: If you are making progress with something in life, keep the momentum

going. In so doing, all things are possible. Your successful outcome will come

much sooner!

W a y s S u c c

23- Problem or Challenge? -

Using or saying the word ‘problem’ can give us the feeling of a major obstacle, a

block, or something insurmountable. Using or saying the word ‘challenge’

however, suggests a temporary slowing of progress, gives an opportunity to learn,

a chance to avoid the situation the next time.

TIP: Drop the word ‘problem’ from your vocabulary and replace it with the

word ‘challenge’. It is more positive, more solution seeking, and more freeing.

Problem solved!



24- Too Much of Anything..... -

Life is about balance, the yin and yang. We are happiest when we can avoid big

excesses. The dictionary defines excesses as “That which goes beyond normal or

necessary”. That is not always an easy line to take, but at least be aware of the

pitfalls of “beyond necessary”: in other words “that which no longer serves you

well”. Then it just becomes a choice to gain balance again. Excesses include alcohol,

socialising beyond affordability, abusing our bodies, overeating and an unhealthy

obsession with sex, to name a few.

TIP: Decide what serves you upfront and have the strength to say “no”. Know your

boundaries. That way YOU are in control. That way you can maintain your balance,

in all things in your life.

25- Don’t Put off Till Tomorrow

What You Can do Today! -

If you knew your time was up tomorrow – how would you live today? There is nothinglike a shock to the system to concentrate the mind! Would being late for a meeting

really matter? Would replying to emails immediately be your first thought? Would the

ongoing dispute still have the same relevance? Take time and ask yourself “If my time

were up in 6 months, how would I like to make the most of it?” It is a brilliant way to

reassess what is important to you and a chance to put things into perspective. Now for

the good news – it does not need to become a reality for you to get the benefit!

TIP: Take time and take stock. It is prioritising, enlightening and freeing. All of

which will make your existence more fulfilling.



- No Man is an Island -

Don’t always be tempted to go it alone. Team up with others. This is not being

influenced by others or just being a people pleaser, rather, a think tank approach

to a problem or dispute where a better result can be had by all.

W a y s S u c c



26

2 7

TIP: Choose a trusted friend or colleague and use them as a sounding board before

making your final decision. They may act as your blind spot - we all have one - to

help you find a better solution to that tricky situation.



27- Thank You for the Music! -

In the words of Abba, know your choice of music: folk, pop, jazz, classical, country,

reggae, rock and many more. They all represent different sounds, beats,

instruments, moods and feelings. From celebration to relaxation, stimulation to

meditation there is a music type for everyone. What type fits you? And when? And

where? From the vast choice available, there is a song or piece to befriend you on

every occasion. It is the medium that transcends generations and nationalities alike.

Music is universal and transcends all barriers.

TIP: Keep your choice of music handy at all times! Use different music to assist you

in life. Be prepared to experiment with different kinds. Have fun with this. It was

written to assist you and give you pleasure. In the words of Shakespeare: “If music

be the food of love, then play on.”
