How to Thrive in Tough Times

How to Thrive in Tough Times
by Robin Sharma

I spend most of my life working with CEOs. And they are constantly facing challenges, whether it's markets, shareholders or customers. When I talk about tough times with my clients I share with them the following ideas:

You are responsible for your response.
No matter how difficult or frustrating a situation is you can control how you act. You have the ability to reflect. To evaluate. To make a decision.

Do your best and let life take care of the rest.
When things are difficult it's more important than ever to pursue excellence. Focus on what you can control and execute brilliantly. Then go home and let it go.

Detach from the noise.
Find some peace. Spend time in nature or with your family. Go to an art gallery. Get away from the chatter of the situation. Allow yourself to regenerate.

Take care of your health.
Challenging situations can invigorate us. They can also wear us down. Be sure to work out and eat superbly.

Ask yourself, "What is the opportunity here?"
In every situation there is an opportunity. What is your challenge telling you? Do you need to repair a relationship? Change the way you do business? Find new resources? Your solution to tough times will take you to the next level.
