3 Rules How To Navigate In The Maze of Life

Hi everyone,

 I was speaking recently with my friend that was going through a difficult business challenge, like we all know there's almost no road to success that challenges don't have to be overcome. But as Earl Nightingale says in his program lead the field that most people when in looking for advice will turn to family and friends for advice, instead of turning in the right direction for guidance.  

So let me narrow it down to what in my view is simple but hard advice that can really help you in time of challenge. My referring to these rules as simple but hard will be understood as well when I finish listing the rules. 

•  Think=  Sit down in a quiet place and concentrate and focus what you think can be a solution for your challenge (Simple? yes it’s very common that a solution is within your grasp and knowledge. Hard? yes a lot of people find it extremely difficult to sit down only with themselves and think constructively, as Wallace Wattles writes in his book “ There is no labor from which most people shrink as they do from that of sustained and consecutive thought, it is the hardest work in the world”.
• Ask = Ask a person who has some experience in the challenge that you face or to someone that’s well connected, it can be someone with a successful business, a pastor or rabbi, someone who people share their life journey with, so they may have been exposed to the same issue you now face. (Simple? Yes you can find these people all over, Hard? Yes it’s easier to share your dilemma with friends or family then to share with someone that you are not so close to, even though the extent knowledge your friends have about your predicament equals your own.)  
•  Read= There is a world of knowledge out there I sometimes stop with my mouth agape and am astonished at the extent of knowledge and advice people have worked their whole life to research that they offer to us. Go to the library search on line on the specific topic and you may find some gems that will be an eye opener for you. (Simple? Yes what can be easier than having someone else do the years of research and give it to you for a minimum or no charge at all, Hard? Yes isn't it easier to read some novel that’s lying around or some YouTube clips, yep we've all been there.)

The main thing to remember is not to get paralyzed in fear. Understand this, almost any challenge that we face today has been faced already and has been overcome by someone. 

Understand that your challenge you are facing is not unique, it can be overcome and has been overcome. 

The only difference between your challenge and the ones similar to yours out there is only, that it’s your first time to face it, it’s you in form and body and mind that has to face it. By understanding that you’re not on your own, you have the whole universe and its knowledge to help you, its just up to you to read and navigate with the maps that others have charted for you.

There is light at the end of the tunnel good luck !!!!!
