  GOAL SETTING A college loving kid proving that he is not Nothing /Photo Courtesy /Tara Winstead Nothing? There comes a time in life when a kid has to grow up. And start making decisions. Life changing decisions for that matter. Decisions such as, going to college. And preparing for life’s biggest responsibilities. During this critical time. Parents are usually on the edge of their seats. They are on the edge because they are afraid of hearing some things. Kids have graduated high school and some have received invitations to some of the best colleges in the country. Parents in most occasions, want to keep the college conversation going. They want to talk about their kids’ college choices with their friends and neighbors. College conversation is a good conversation.

How do you trust in your roughest season? When everything you hoped for comes negative. When you are looking for growth and growth does not happen. When you pray for more and more does not happen. How do you keep trusting that a better outcome will come out of a tumultuous moment? It is a difficult season. The most vulnerable for that matter. A period that you wish you will wake up the following morning and find it gone. You are really hoping for some positive news. Something positive is all that you want. Instead, you are registering a negative after a negative. What do you do with all these negatives? A lot of things are at stake. And unless a positive thing happens, you are at risk of losing so much more. You are fighting with tears. You have run out of energy. You have tried everything that you already know.  

You are just discouraged right now. You want to give up. You want to let your boat sink in this fierce tempest. You are fighting to keep it from sinking. Your strength is waning with every pull you make. You are really exhausted. What keeps you hoping for a new thing? How do you even begin trusting that there will be a turn around? Facing a tempest is a real trial to any business owner. A lot of things need to be done, yet your resources are depleting very quickly. You are absolutely worried. Super worried. You just don’t know how events are going to turn out. Your wish right now is a miracle. If a miracle can happen right now, that will be quite a rescue. But there is no miracle yet. You have to deal with the reality of the roughest season. The pain. Tears. Discouragement. Lack of motivation to do anything. And weakening hope.

Know What You Believe In

Whereas, your path during your roughest season is slippery and unstable. You need all the hope you can find. Your hope of anything good coming out soon could be diminishing. However, you need to hold unto that little hope. Protect that little hope. You definitely don’t want to fall apart. You love your business. You enjoy running it. It is your happy place. Despite the tempest, you want it to succeed. You want to come out strong. You don’t want to sink. So, you are going to do one of the most important thing you need to do during a rough season, know what you believe in. You trust by knowing what you believe in. Any strong being you know about. Someone you trust can get you out of this dark period. Increase your believe in this being. You need to know this being well. This being must have the strength you are missing.

The being must be stronger than you. More stable than you. Well anchored than you. This being should be in a position to give you the miracle you are hoping for. It must be powerful. It must have solutions. So, know what you believe in. When you know what you believe in, you can rest on the assurance of that the strong being, will take care of your business during your roughest season. You are already vulnerable from trying out so many things, which have proved futile. Don’t continue worsening your situation by worrying more. You need to stop worrying, which in itself is a difficult thing to do, if, you are on the verge of losing everything. But you need to stop worrying. You need to focus your energy and mind on the being. On the strong person you know. The being you pray to. The strong being you run to during hard times. You need to trust it.

You need to focus on the strong being to hold you down. To help you. To solve your problem. Your faith in this being could be weakening during your roughest season, but you need to trust it again. You have tried everything that you know. And your hope too, is weakening. Surrender to the being. As long as, you know the being is stronger than you, and it has the kind of solutions you are seeking, let it be in control. You are the boss in the business. But right now, you need to let someone else boss you. You need to focus on remaining sober in the season. You don’t want to panic and make wrong decisions. You want to move very slowly during this time. If, you trust the being and know it very well. Give the being opportunity to prove itself. Let what you believe in fix you. Therefore, your knowledge in what you believe in, is what will keep you from falling during your roughest season in business or life.

Capabilities of the Being

You need to know the strength of the being you believe in. You cannot afford to work with a weak support when you are vulnerable. You need a strong person around you. A person who knows how to turn around things. A person who knows how to keep a boat from not sinking when the sea is experiencing a tempest. You need someone with skills. Someone who is capable of standing strong in a rough environment. So, the being you believe in, better have the capabilities to keep you sailing. You better know the strengths of the being very well. You need to be sure that when you fully surrender to the being, you will not be disappointed. You don’t want to be disappointed right now. The rough season has assaulted you enough. Therefore, the strong being must have the right power and strength to keep you together and everything that matter to you. What are the capabilities of the strong being?

Mention those capabilities and let the strong being know that you are trusting it because of these strengths. These strengths must deliver. The strengths better be good. The strong being better be good. Nothing can go wrong at this point. Make it clear to the strong being that you cannot take another fall. You cannot take another negative. Something needs to change. Some positive things need to begin happening. Call on those strengths. Tell the strong being that you know what it is and what it does. That you are in the right place and you cannot afford to lose. You want to get out of the mud. You cannot continue to get stuck. You want a way out. You want a break. You want a relieve. That you want the problem solved. You need the problem solved. You are hoping for a lasting solution. You don’t want to continue being vulnerable. You want your strength and motivation back. These strengths better fix you.

Your Confidence

Do you have confidence in the strong being? Can the strong being protect you? Can it rescue you in your worst day? Can it keep you safe? You need to have confidence in the strong being. Remember you have been through so much. You don’t want to proceed with a path where you are working for this and getting that. You are tired of getting opposite results. You want positive results. And you need to know that you are knocking on the right door. You need confidence in the being. There should be no doubt in your mind that your problem is safe in the hands of this strong being. You need to be sure that it will be solved. The being you believe in has the right answers. The being you believe has a lot of resources than you do. And that the being will use some of those resources to help you. You need to know the story of the being.

Having confidence during your roughest season will ground you. Confidence will help you stop worrying. It will keep you trusting the being. It will keep you focused on the being. It will make you come up with a strategy to ensure that you remain focused to the most important being right now. Confidence will help you stop making desperate calls and decisions. It will remind you of the journey you have covered with the being you believe in. Confidence will help you remember past events when the being you believe in saved the day. Confidence will keep you calm. It will keep your mind focused on the right things. It will keep you safe. It will allow you to trust despite the circumstances around you. It will remind you to keep fighting for better. It will remind you to be faithful to the being. And that is what you need during your roughest season. Faith to remain steadfast in what you know.
