5 Mistakes to Avoid for Your Optimal Growth

Everything occurring in your life is precisely the right timing for your optimal growth.

When things are running smoothly in your relationships, your career, your finances, your health, and your personal enjoyment time, it's quite easy to feel that you're in the right place at the right time; that life is good.

Then you hit a rough patch in one or a couple of areas in your life and, all of a sudden you feel like you are walking on jagged rocks, rather than water.

It's hard to imagine that these events are occurring at exactly the right time, let alone for your optimal growth and renewed spirit.

When things are going well you feel enthusiastic, optimistic, charged, and excited, like life is the greatest thing since sliced bread, but when uneven stones are being walked upon, the feelings are quite the opposite. You might be doubtful, fearful, stressed, depressed, and feel a lack energy and enthusiasm.

The biggest stumbling stone is not the actual problem, but your beliefs and attitude towards the events and people you feel are creating them.

The first mistake we make is over-analyzing. We tend to over-think everything, especially when there is a problem. In doing so, we create a thinking frenzy creating more stress, more doubts, and more fears. Hmmm.... How is this benefiting your growth and renewal?

The fact of the matter is, it's not. The way to stop the madness is to ask, "How is this thinking benefiting me?" If your thoughts aren't in alignment with your well being, then it's time to let them go. You can hear them out, but then readjust your attitude for possibilities, not more problems.

The second is making it catastrophic. Often when we are faced with what seem like negative occurrences we make them out to be worse than they really are. We jump right into the over-analyzing and then it becomes the worst thing imaginable. We can make mountains out of mole hills, if we let it.

The truth is people climb mountains every day, both the external and internal ones. It is possible for you to climb yours, you just have to believe it and take the necessary steps.

The third is doubt. If you don't avoid the first two mistakes, you are headed straight into second guessing. You doubt your decisions, your abilities, your strength, your courage, and perhaps even your very existence. You will find just about anything and everything to second guess yourself on, and the situation you are in.All those limiting beliefs are for your optimal growth. To realize that whatever you are doubting, the opposite also holds true.

The fourth is losing faith . We often get so involved with the perceived problem that we lose faith in the solutions, and where they originating from. These obstacles are a way of testing your faith and commitment to who you truly are. This is not a time to lose conviction, but rather strengthen it from the source from which it emanates, whatever that might be for you.

The fifth is forgetting. You forget that you are in the right place at the right time. How do you know? You know because that is where you are. Whether you chose to be there, or something occurred and you ended up there. Wherever you are, know that you are there for your optimal growth.

Can you see how one mistake can lead to the next?

If you can avoid the first mistake, and remember that everything happens precisely as it needs to, you will be well on your way to seeing it as a setback, not a stand still.

It may not always be apparent right away why something is happening, but have faith and know it is for your optimal expansion and evolution of your spirit.

Soon you will be walking on water, or at least along side of it.

When you change your thinking, you can change your life.Remember, when you Shine, the world shines brighter because of you!
