I Challenge You To Stop Screwing Around Putting Up With Unnecessary Irritations, Take Control Of One Issue That's Bothering You And Resolve It In The Next 30 Days.

I’m sorry if that headline sounds aggressive, but I’m so fed up with watching people like Jeff accepting stress, frustration and misery in their life, when it could be so different, that I have to get this off my chest.

“It feels so great to be free of that stress.  I just never realised things could be different.”  he said.  

For fifteen years he’d been putting up with an issue that bothered him everyday, until in the end it ground him down so low that he felt unless he could overcome it, life wasn’t worth living.  And after a few weeks of focus, he suddenly realized he’d been wasting years putting up with something that he’d always thought was ‘just one of those things’ that you have to learn to live with.  Yet now, after getting serious about resolving it, he had resolved it in weeks.

What About You?

I’m pretty sure that there’s some problem or situation going on in your life, right now, that is bothering you.  Maybe greatly or perhaps just slightly.  We all have problems, challenges and niggles.  But what makes one person love their life and another get ground down in bitterness and resentment, is how quickly you can resolve these issues.

Every second of your life that you spend stressed or miserable is wasted.  Gone.  Lost forever.  And you’ve gained nothing from it.  Except perhaps an ulcer.

The fact is that in one month, one year or maybe even ten or more, you will solve the issue.  But why wait?  Why not focus on it a little more intently and get over it right now?  

We all put up with crap for way too long.  Believing life is meant to be arduous or complicated.  All because from our position we can’t see how it can be different.  Eventually we either get so fed up with it, that we really get serious about dealing with it once and for all.  Or we somehow stumble upon the answer years later and wonder why we didn’t recognise how obvious the solution was, long before.

The real problem is that we all get swept away by the current of life.  There’s always more stuff demanding our attention than we can ever get done.  There’s always pressure to get this done or worry about that thing or this person.  But no-one ever pressures us to look after ourself.  And so, it’s easy for us to tolerate little niggles.  The problem is, that little niggles turn into bigger problems and then they blow out of all proportion.

Then they steal our peace of mind.  And before you know it another year or decade has gone in a whirl.  And now we’re too late.  The moment has passed.  

Screw that.  Let’s now stand up, take control of our destiny and make it happen.

In our lives there are many tangled and intertwined knots.  So the key is to take one issue, put all of your focus on it and resolve it.  Of course, there may be multiple issues in your life, but if you can go through the process once, you can repeat it again and again.  

The whole point to this challenge is to focus with laser precision on one issue, until it’s resolved.  Then you can understand how much control you can have over your emotional wellbeing.  

Join Us And Together We Can Conquer Anything

So here’s how it will work.  You pick one issue that you really want to overcome.  We’ll create a supportive community where you can help and get help and encouragement to resolve your issue.  Having a problem simply means you can’t see the solution.  But someone else can often see the solution clearly.  

We’ll be using Twitter and Skype mainly for this challenge.  Don’t worry we’ll walk you through the steps to get started.  The great thing about these services is they allow us to interact whenever we’re free.  So you can interact whenever best suits you, with whoever is also available at that time.  With these tools we are not set with an inflexible appointment system.  No-one has to change their schedule.  You just get access to other peoples, ideas, experiences and perspectives when they are ready to give it almost on demand. 

Having seen thousands of people make changes or fail, the single difference I see is how much effort, determination and persistence someone puts in.  So get involved by engaging with the community.  Ask for help, as and when you need it.  But of course, be respectful.  And give what help you can too.  We’re all in this together.

There won’t be any separation between Coach and Student, Teacher and Pupil.  We all have moments of doubt, indecision and frustration.  Anyone may provide the spark to resolve that issue.  So there won’t be any delineation.  Through the technology we are using you may respond to anyone’s question or ask everyone or someone in particular.

Use the tools and information provided.  And together as a group we can come up with enough creativity and insights to resolve any issue.  The more challenging, the issues are, the more creative and resourceful, the community will be to find solutions.
