FOR MANIFESTING A BETTER TOMORROW

“ IT ’ S HARD SOMETIMES TO

SEE BEYOND THE CHAOS OF OUR CURRENT

CIRCUMSTANCES .”

After the year ’ s grand finale we are left perplexed by all of

the uncertainty that plagued us during 2020 . Many businesses had to close down for good due to the shutdowns and it seems that while online work is the future – there ’ s a lot of people holding onto their cash right now due to fear of uncertainty .
For digital entrepreneurs , dealing with uncertainties is our daily bread and butter . Whenever we run into a snag , it ’ s up to us to figure out how to evolve beyond our limitations . This helps train a fundamental element needed to be a successful online business person : grit !
However , while grit is needed to get you through hard times , by no means should ‘ testing your grit ’ be the norm of your business practices . There needs to come a point when you ’ ve pushed through your limitations and created a revenue stream that can help grow your business to become self-reliant .
It ’ s hard sometimes to see beyond the chaos of our current circumstances . Our anxieties and stresses take a hold of our imagination and before we know it , we ’ re conjuring ideas of doom and gloom in the future .
STOP REACTING . START ATTRACTING .
I ’ m a firm believer in ‘ what you believe you become ’ or in other words , what you occupy your mind with you walk towards – at least on an unconscious level .
In fact , the more you entertain negative thought patterns , you are literally creating neural networks that will fire off every time you trigger a stress response .
