Channeling Your Energy for Success

The Power of Positive Action

Tasks demanding your attention won’t get done if you spend your time grumbling, complaining, or blaming your circumstances. Instead, direct all your energy, effort, mind, heart, and your entire being toward accomplishing them. Theodore Roosevelt wisely said, “Do what you can, with what you have, where you are,” which encourages us to take action with the resources we have, rather than wasting time lamenting about what we lack.

Gratitude for Support

Reflect on the people—parents, loved ones, friends, teammates, employees, or colleagues—who have helped you reach where you are today. It’s crucial to recognize that if they’ve always lifted burdens for you—whether physically or emotionally—and you’ve never done it yourself, you might not be as skilled at lifting as they are. They provide their strength so you can focus on your strengths. Nevertheless, don’t mistake their abilities for your own just because they’ve shared them with you.

Embracing Challenges

When a task falls solely on your shoulders and you find yourself whining or struggling, it’s probably because you’ve never had to do it alone before, and it feels hard. The more you practice, the stronger and more adept you will become. Remember to appreciate those who have carried burdens for you so seamlessly that it gave you a misconception of how difficult the task really is. When the time comes for you to handle it yourself, you may have thought it would be as easy as it seemed when they did it for you. Be grateful you benefited from their quiet effort and smooth execution.

Building Strength Gradually

Be gentle with yourself if you realize you aren’t as strong as you thought. Take the time to build that strength gradually, moment by moment and day by day, without complaining. Persist tirelessly until you reach your goals. If you are fortunate enough to have a supportive team around you, make sure to value their strength and contributions, knowing that collective efforts lead to individual and shared success.
