Three keys to survive and succeed no matter what your life circumstances are.
In my first article, “How to Survive No Matter What”, I related how my grandmother had imparted certain gifts to me that enabled me to survive anything.
Here are three more keys to surviving and succeeding.
-
The right mindset.
Having a growth mindset is vital to both survival and success because it enables you to keep trying no matter what adversity you encounter in life.
Keep a “Gratitude Journal” by writing down what you are grateful for each and every day of your life. When you start to feel stressed, immediately think of things you can write in your journal and write them down. Read your journal when you cannot think of anything to be grateful for.
“Gratitude” has many health benefits, relationship benefits, and satisfaction benefits. It enables you to focus on what is good in your present life instead of wanting more and more. Furthermore, it turns your mental focus to positives and enables your brain to counteract its natural tendency to focus on worries, threats, and negatives. Additionally, it creates joy, love, and contentment–which can remove the negative grip of depression and anxiety. Gratitude creates positive thought cycles and behavior patterns.
Positive thoughts and behavior patterns created by gratitude enable you to survive and succeed. They enable you to keep trying against all adversity.
High stress tolerance means that a person thrives as much as possible in every adverse circumstance. To be highly stress-tolerant, look for the good in your life, no matter how difficult life seems at the moment.
Volunteering and helping others also build your stress-tolerance. Volunteering increases your sense of well-being, alleviates chronic pain, and reduces depression. Volunteers feel happier, more satisfied with their lives, feel more in control of their lives, and have better physical and mental health.
High stress tolerance enables you to persist through extremely troubling times and successfully and find your way to the light at the end of the tunnel.

June 25, 2017 at 3:57 pmBJ, this is the way my grandmother believed as well. She also believed that we should never stop learning, we should strive to learn something new everyday. She also taught me to never give up, as long as I keep trying I will always be successful in daily life no matter what it throws at me.
