Turning Stumbling Blocks Into Stepping Stones

July 2, 2014

.. is the ONLY way to succeed in life.

You have a choice everyday as to whether you will allow yourself to get tripped up on the stumbling blocks OR whether you will use them as stepping stones to a new and better future.

As human beings, it’s common behavior to let the stumbling blocks in our lives take us down and destroy us. We get caught up in the drama of the stumbling block and forget that it is our responsibility to get back up and make our lives better because of what we have experienced. We sit there for months/years blaming the stumbling block for throwing us off course. And what does that do for us? How does that help us or make things better for us? It doesn’t.

No stumbling block is in place to make a mess of your life, it is only in place to help you become stronger, more sound and more stable in yourself.  Stumbling blocks can also be in place to alter your direction in life when it’s time to go down a new road. Regardless, stumbling blocks are ALWAYS the impetus for great change and success. They should never be viewed as obstacles along our path. Once we learn how to turn those stumbling blocks into stepping stones, we realize that we can now rise higher then we ever thought possible. Time to start stumbling!

When You Walk With Your Head Down

… you walk into walls. It’s common sense. When you’re not looking where you’re going, you’re most likely going to end up somewhere you don’t want to be. Most of us sleepwalk our way through our lives — running the mouse wheel of life. We are so busy trying to make a living that we […]

It’s Not About Making The Right Choice

… it’s about accepting the choice you’ve already made. Our life’s path is made up of choices and there are no mistakes when it comes to making choices, because there are no right or wrong choices, there are only different choices. Don’t get caught up in the choice you’ve made – make it and move on. […]

Looking Back to the Past

… is only helpful to the extent it allows you to move forward into your future.  If it doesn’t, it keeps you back. Your life is only ever in front of you, never behind you. The past can be an informative tool if we don’t get trapped in it. If you want to uncover the […]

A Mid-life Crisis

… requires a mid-course correction. A mid-life crisis can happen at any age, but the wisdom here is that the secret to healing it, is in the way we define it. Life naturally has its ups and downs, and life is constantly asking you to define who you are in relationship to it. You’re never […]

When You’re in the Flow

… everything moves with you. And when you are not, nothing works. When you are in the flow of your life – flowing downstream — everything flows along side you. When you are out of that flow – pushing upstream — things are much more difficult. How do you know the difference? Ask yourself how […]
