Very often, there are many people who spend time worrying about the potential outcome of certain events that eventually don't happen. It is just the normal human mind that keeps replaying all the disastrous consequences like a broken record. In hindsight when we look at the outcomes, usually in 9 times out of 10, what we feared most never happened.

However, what we have lost from all these fearful thoughts are innumerable hours of worry, tension and stress about something that never happened. I always believe as along as man has the ability to think, there will always be such events. Although you cannot totally rule out worry, but with time you will need to learn how to deal with it effectively.

One of the most effective techniques that I use to deal with such situations is to give it a timing perspective. Lets say that the worst imagined scenario did happen, will it matter to you one month from now, six months from now or perhaps a year from now. If you go down the other end of your time tunnel and try to look backwards in time at some stupid event that happened one year ago, you will suddenly realize how petty this is in the overall scheme of things.

At best, someone will shout at you, your manager may reprimand you, your partner will yell at you. A week later or maybe even earlier, things will soon return to normal. You will better for the experience and the situation may actually have been a blessing in disguise and may have taught you some valuable life lessons.

So the next time you are worried about something - remember to use the perspective tool and look at your problems from a distant perspective. Secondly, look for the silver lining in the crowd and hunt for the blessing in each adversity.

I keep repeating this to myself whenever I feel bruised and battered - that a diamond cannot be polished until it is cut and scraped. Each time I falter or encounter failure, I consider it as another chip off my exterior which is revealing the diamond within me. Soon you will look forward to more cuts and bruises than before, if you want the light within to shine worth brightly in the world.

Our philosophy is the source of our failure or success. The best way to move toward our goals is continuous learning. There are many ways to learn: school; books; teachers; examples of others; from our own mistakes. The best road to success in Direct Sales Marketing is to learn from all of these sources, not just one or two. Continuous learning is what builds our philosophy and our awareness of the world around us.

Don't be afraid of all the difficulties you encounter. Turn each stone thrown by your critics into milestones in your career path. Lastly, don't fear something that never was. Show the light of courage to the shadows of fear and you will realize that there were no demons in the shadows.
