not all storms come to disturb your life some come to clear your path
hi i'm hc and watching this video until the end will help you understand yourself deeper than you
understand it now stay tuned in today's world if there's one thing that is sure it's that things
do not always go as planned nonetheless this truth does not imply that you should stop moving
forward in spite of the tumultuous terrain this is where knowing how to adapt becomes essential
in a life where change is inevitable adaptability is the fundamental key to achieving fulfillment
knowing how to adapt will help you transform perceived negatives into unique possibilities
this knowledge will help you appreciate that even if you started your journey on the wrong foot it
does not mean that you are doomed to end up in the wrong place in contrast inability to adapt
will have you feeling stuck lost and alone in a struggle towards achievement
this is why knowing how to adapt is such an important factor on the journey of you
becoming your best you so without further ado here are the steps on how to adapt
step 1 accept always remember if you don't accept the present moment you can never move
forward from it to accept is to recognize and identify what you are facing so that you
know what you are up against simply put it is to confront what you are going through for what it is
as opposed to what you imagine it to be if it is a failure then let it be just that if it is
deception a misunderstanding or a heartbreak then let it be just that to accept means to
take responsibility for what you are facing and to continue to move forward always remember
blaming others or victimizing yourself may help you feel better in that moment
but it will not change the truth of the situation that you are dealing with always aim to
see the situation for what it is from an unbiased perspective so that you can use
the truth of that matter to help you on your journey forward as said by american musician
and entrepreneur soulja boy not all storms come to disturb your life some come to clear your path
step 2 separate emotions from reasoning this means to accept and acknowledge how you feel
but also to understand that that flare of emotions of the moment is likely to distract or convolute
your ability to reason although your emotions are important and becoming in tune with them is
a fundamental part to progress and inner peace they are volatile to separate reasoning from
emotion is to acknowledge that things will happen in life whether you feel good about them or not
for example let's say someone gives you the answer to your question no matter how you feel about the
answer it is still the answer you could feel sad disappointed and even distraught about the answer
but the answer will still be the answer therefore it is important to find your calm and assess the
message for what it is as opposed to spending your energy towards how you feel about the message
always remember with time emotions will change therefore knowing how to separate emotions from
your reasoning will help you make long-term decisions based on more stable factors such
as your morals your values and your principles in accordance to the gravity of the situation
of course when we react emotionally it is likely to lead to confusion and thus inaction
and can even lead us to blaming others for our predicament as opposed to using that
time and energy to adapt but always remember you could blame every and anyone for your situation
and maybe even rightfully so however that will not change the situation you are going through
and is likely to just be the source of new problems step 3 make a decision choose in order
to successfully adapt choices will have to be made simply put in a situation that demands a response
the worst thing that you can do is to go with the flow think of a tumultuous situation
happening let's say you're a captain of a ship and you've encountered an immense tidal wave far out
coming in your direction if you go with the flow and continue your route
hoping that everything will be fine it will likely result in the waves taking you off of your course
and anywhere it pleases this can also result in serious damage to your ship however deciding
to take ownership of the situation encourages actions that could save you from those calamities
going with the flow means you are giving yourself a zero percent chance of changing your situation
while making a choice cannot guarantee your 100 success
it does give you the possibility of bettering your situation even if it is just by one percent
it is true that there is always repercussions to any action taken and any decision
made but as said by sun tzu in the art of war haste can be folly but delay is never wise
this implies that taking swift action may not lead to the best decision in the long run
but when you are facing impending issues any decision is better than no decision at all
step four believe in yourself to believe in yourself is to stand up for yourself
which means to remain true to who you are especially when the pressure is on
it is taking the responsibility for your situation and trusting your mindset to help you move forward
despite what you are facing it is to acknowledge that there is only one you and it is your duty
to continue to be no one can be a better you than you and if you don't believe in yourself
why should anyone else believing in yourself will help with adapting to a situation
because you trust that you will still have you on the other side of what is happening
and you are your most indispensable resource be true to you finally step 5 stay ready
although you cannot predict the future you could prepare yourself to be ready for irregular moments
by sharpening and enhancing the resources and tools at your current disposition this
includes taking care of yourself by maybe adopting healthier eating habits working out getting better
quality sleep and practicing meditation because as they say your health will always be your wealth
keeping your body and mind in shape will help you be ready for any problem or issue that
demands your attention staying ready could include working out or simply going for walks
to clear your mind body and spirit as part of your daily routine this could also mean staying
informed about the things that concern you by reading books or reserving time of your day to
reading certain articles and maybe even doing a little bit of research
staying ready also means pooling your resources together in a structured manner so that you are
able to use them efficiently if and when that time does come because as they say
if you stay ready you don't have to get ready it's better to be prepared than repaired
