It is true that following a life project generates immense satisfaction and personal fulfillment. It is true that when you follow a plan, every day you wake up excited, you want to do things, and when you serve others with your gifts and talents, you feel great happiness and joy, and you feel blissful. Of the life that you're having This is all true. However, in this life project process, there are also difficulties.
Following a powerful life plan can be a path full of problems, difficulties, obstacles, challenges, fears, thoughts of defeat and pain, from every point of view. Many times this path is not easy; in fact, the vast majority of times it is not, nothing that is worthy and worthwhile is easy. Big projects have a lot of stones in the way. People who have made great achievements have not had shortcuts or simple paths, where everything was given to them.
A life project demands a lot from you, a solid commitment to your plan and your development, and having clear goals. It also requires that you follow a pre-established work plan with commitment and perseverance, and that you have tolerance and flexibility when things don't go the way you imagined. As you can see, a life project demands not only time and effort, but also a series of character strengths that you have to promote and reinforce.
Many times things do not go as planned. You have clear goals, a powerful action plan, impossible to fail. But you realize that it is not so. For this reason, you must keep your dreams, they change little, but your goals and action plans must be flexible, because sometimes things do not go as you expect. There are many mishaps, variations of the path and obstacles that force you to change your plan, even if the objectives are the same. And that's where your flexibility and tenacity are put to the test.
There are different types of difficulties, but we can generally divide them into two types, external and internal. The external ones can be the situation of the country, financial and economic situation, working conditions, laws, city issues, among other things. But the most relevant external obstacles are people. On the way to your life project you will meet many people who will do the impossible so that you do not continue. Sometimes they are malicious, but most of the time they are even people who love you, but who have a pessimistic and defeatist thinking, and try to convince you that this project is not viable, that you put your feet on the ground and dedicate yourself to something else.
However, the factors that most influence to boycott your life project are the internal ones. Outside everything could be happening, but if you are strengthened, you continue despite the problems and difficulties. That is why your own problems, your limitations, bad attitudes, bad habits, thought patterns, pessimism, low self-esteem or your lack of confidence, are the main obstacles you must face. The conditions outside have their own rhythm, and if they change, this is not up to you. Therefore, it is better to work on the difficulties within yourself than on those without.
Always keep in mind that in your project you are going to have many obstacles, that many times things do not go as planned, and it is your flexibility and strength that will make you move forward and be successful in your life project.
