In Part 1 I shared that Pawns will keep you from
accomplishing your business dreams and goals.
In Part 2, let's look at the Pawn's partner...Pushers.Pushers are people whose purpose is to thrust
forward, downward and/or outward with force.
Unlike the pawn who will move forward with
gentle or convincing persuasion, the pusher will
use strength. Tactics include things like
spreading lies, defamation of character, physical
attack and emotional and mental abuse. The goal
is to push you to your personal physical, mental and
emotional edge so that you'll stop, turn around, or
give up the pursuit of your dreams.When Mark Whitaker applied for the position as
Editor of Newsweek Magazine, he received countless
remarks from friends and acquaintances alike,
discouraging him from pursuing his dream of
becoming Editor of the magazine because of his race.
Mark Whitaker's response to critics in reference
to race hindering his dream:"Maybe (it will), maybe not... But I'm not going to let
it stop me from setting it as a goal."Mark Whitaker has been Editor of Newsweek for a few
years now and has received awards and accolades for
the work he has accomplished.What pusher is stopping you from setting and
achieving your dreams and goals?A pusher does not know or understand that they too
were created with purpose. When pushers understand
that, they will be able to focus on pursuing their own
purpose and destiny.What To Do When A Pusher Knocks You Down:1. Land On Your Back- Your next step is determined by
what you see when you open your eyes after you've fallen.
If you look up, the heavens are above you with the light
from the sun. Your limits are set by the heavens.
Talk about unlimited opportunities and possibilities!If you are looking down when you open your eyes, the
ground is beneath you. Prospects from this position
will lead to death and burial of your dreams.======================================
"If you can look up, you can get up!"
Les Brown
======================================2. Get Up and find strength in your cheerleaders.
Also consider the services of a personal coach.In addition to cheerleaders, take time for prayer and
meditation. You have a spirit, soul (mind, will and
emotions) and a body. Nourish your spirit (the essence
of who you are) and your soul. Step away from
situations, dreams, etc. for a short period to
physically re-group.====================================================
"Leaving behind nights of terror and fear;
I rise; Into a daybreak that wondrously clear;
I rise; Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave;
I am the dream and hope of the slave; I rise; I rise;
I rise."
Maya Angelou
====================================================3. Encourage Yourself- You are standing and the pushers
did not get the best of you.=====================================================
"Every limitation you've overcome, every fear you've
conquered, has equipped you to help lift somebody
else - otherwise, they're wasted experiences"
Word For Today
=====================================================Use this and every experience as foundational
stepping stones to reach for your business dreams.
There will be times throughout your journey when
you'll feel pushed down. Remember, as long as you
can look up, you not only can get up, but you open
the door to unlimited possibilities because you never
counted yourself out!Robin Kegler is a Professional Coach, Speaker, Founder of Wearing The Right C.A.P.tm and creator of the Wearing The Right C.A.P.
