Pat Mesiti – Soaring Higher
Pat Mesiti International Motivational Speaker gives you principles to soar higher!
(excerpt taken from Pat Mesiti’s new book “Soaring Higher”)
All the battles of life are waged within yourself
The great speaker Dwight L. Moody said, ‘I have had more trouble with myself than any other man I have ever met.’ Sheldon Kopps said, ‘All the significant battles are waged within self.’ Think about it. Before anything materialises in your life, it generally happens on the inside of you.
Our insecurities come from the inside and often manifest themselves on the outside, perhaps in shyness or aggression, in chatter or pride. I heard someone once say that talent is God-given, so be humble; fame is man-given, be thankful; conceit is self-given, be careful.
Success is a battle fought on the inside of a man or a woman before it ever is an outside battle. What are some of the battles that wage within us? The battle not to quit. The battle not to view yourself as a mistake or a failure. The battle not to navel gaze, not to muse on our circumstances, not to blame others or be full of pride. The battle of loneliness; you and I have to enjoy our own company before we will ever enjoy anybody else's company. The battle for marriage is waged in individual people's lives. A marriage does not break up by accident. It starts in one person breaking down, and then the other breaking down... then you have two broken people breaking down a marriage.
Success in your life is a mindset. You can be successful in the middle of pain. Bill Parcells, one of America's great football coaches, said, ‘Don't tell me about the pain, just show me the baby.’ He was looking for results.
Challenge
What can you do to make sure you win the battles? First, understand that there is a battle. Second, get advice from people who have won battles in their lives. If you’re struggling in business and don’t know why, go and talk to someone who has some wins and some losses and find out how they came through. Third, don't look for quick fixes to problems, especially long term problems. Be authentic and honest with things in your life. Wear a sign around your neck that says 'Be patient, I am under construction'. Wear it so others can see it, but also realise the same is true for others. Understand that your life is constantly under construction.
