Along the journey to an extraordinary career, you may feel frustrated, demotivated, or begin to question whether it's worth the effort to achieve your goals. All of these feelings are valid. However, you need to understand that what you're experiencing right now is exactly what everyone else has gone through. The difference is how you react to it.
The people who have reached the success you want haven't had fewer failures, rejections, or frustrations; they've had their fair share, if not more. The key difference is how they react to these challenges compared to how others react.
The reason why so few people reach their goals is that they give up when things get tough, when everything seems to be against them, when organizations change, when their sponsors leave, or when they don’t get the offer. They blame external factors such as LinkedIn not working, the economy, their industry, the manager, bad luck, bad timing, their age, nationality, or language limitations. This is when 99% of others quit their goals.
This is precisely the moment when you must remind yourself to keep going. Not to keep doing what you've always done, as that will only get you the same results. Instead, keep learning from your mistakes and ask yourself empowering questions. For example, if facing rejection, ask yourself how it's happening for you to achieve your goal. Don't ask disempowering questions like "Why does this always happen to me?"
This is how you separate yourself from those who spend 25 to 30 years in a career wishing for an executive position they are not cut out for, only to eventually give up.
Now, you might be asking, "Why push yourself like this? Why not just enjoy your kids, hobby, and life outside of work? Why not be grateful for what you already have, relax, and appreciate that you're already doing well?" It's true, with or without the next level of success, you're already doing fine. You could take a break, relax, put your feet up, or accept that the peak of your career has passed.
When you get comments like this, it can feel like people are questioning your value, and you may feel misunderstood or like you don't belong in your network.
But here's the thing: take a look at the people who tell you to enjoy life. Do you want their life?
The truth is, average people don't actually enjoy their lives that much. They might think they do because they've surrounded themselves with similarly mediocre people.
When you choose to listen to people's advice, ask yourself this question: Do you want their life? If the answer is yes, then go ahead and take that advice. But if they don't have what you want, ignore them.
