It can be difficult finding ways to stay optimistic when life seems to be throwing you curveballs left and right. With the right tools and a positive mindset, you can learn to work for the life you want, be grateful for what you have, and find optimism to carry you through tough times.
How to Stay Optimistic When Times Are Difficult
Think back to a time in your past — five, 10, 15, or even 20 years ago. Maybe you envisioned a happy future making more money, having more fun, a family of your own, or living in a bigger place.
Few things turn out perfectly, but chances are your life saw some growth and improvement in at least one area. A 30 or 40-something-year-old adult’s standards are going to be different than those of a teenager. In that sense, most of us have undergone economic, personal, and career upgrades, even if you might be disappointed with the outcome thus far making it hard to stay optimistic.
The Seasons of Life
All life on this planet goes through seasons. We’ll experience spring-like blooms, the reaping of summer, the preparations of fall, and the chill and severity that winter brings. These cycles affect us individually and globally. At times, even the world as a whole experiences something like a severe economic winter.
However, it’s important to keep in mind that we’ve all experienced times of growth and improvement in our individual lives. Even during periods of lack and want, we can look forward to a time of prosperity again. All it takes is readjusting back to a mindset that focuses on the future so we can stay optimistic. That starts with accepting and embracing the now.
3 Tips to Stay Optimistic During Your “Winter Times”
By far, the toughest cycle we’ll experience is our “winter times,” whether it’s cold outside or not. Even the grasshopper needs to be told by the Ant to prepare for winter, so the old story goes. The other seasons are often times easier, if not more enjoyable.
As tough as things can seem during harsh times, winter provides the opportunity to recover and start planning for the next spring ahead—the same kind of spring that gave us relief before and will bring us relief again. With this mindset, we can find ways to stay optimistic despite the cold. These 3 tips for learning how to stay optimistic can help you even in the most difficult of times:
1. You can do this by defining what you want to create. Be specific. Sometimes luck helps, but there’s no way to get what you want until you’ve defined what you want, and, just as important, why you want it. Your motivations will steer you through any winter storm.
2. Also, taking inventory. List those attributes that enhance the quality of your life right here and now — family, friends, the network of colleagues who might help you take that next step, and resources that are helping you economically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. You might be surprised at just how many resources are at your disposal.
3. Lastly, be grateful. For every “negative” thing that may be happening to you, someone else is likely undergoing more pressing challenges. Gratitude has a way of dispelling fear, anxiety, and a self-defeating attitude. You can’t focus on what you don’t have when you’re grateful for what you do have. How we progress through the seasons isn’t based on what we don’t have, or what we might’ve done or not done in the past. It’s about how we use what we do have now to stay optimistic and to sow seeds of growth that we can reap later.
I want to leave you with one last thought. Winters can seem to go on forever, but they don’t. That’s as true for the world as it is in our individual lives. When in ‘winter’, use this time to re-focus, heal, enjoy your blessings, and start planning your next spring now.
Give us your thoughts on life’s “seasons,” whether they apply to your personal or professional life. Where are you in your life’s cycle? How do you navigate your seasons? Leave me a comment and let me know what you think about these tips for staying optimistic during difficult times. Each and every one of your comments is meaningful and valuable.
For Your Freedom,
After reading this article it makes so much sense as it pertains to the seasons in your life. I feel like it’s personal for me because it’s talking about my professional life and personal life. I feel like I am in the season of reaping. I navigate my seasons by staying my faith and being connected with god. I really enjoyed the article, it had so many great points. The harvest is here and I can’t wait to see what god has in store for me.
Lakeisha Comer I appreciate everything I am learning now and is truly inspirational thank you so much
It’s difficult to understand……
Thank you very much for the lessons. During winter times l stay focused being encouraged by the word o of God .
Como todo lo que he podido leer de Harv, es un texto muy realista y enriquecedor. Hasta hoy nunca se me había ocurrido comparar mi vida con las estaciones, y analizando ese punto de vista,tiene mucho sentido. En este momento recién dí el paso de salir de mi zona de confort, y se puede decir que me encuentro en Invierno,
pero es un invierno agradable porque Dios me bendice con una maravillosa familia que me brinda su apoyo
incondicional. Entonces creo que actualmente estoy en el proceso de escoger las mejores semillas para preparar mi próxima cosecha y será la mas productiva que haya recogido hasta hoy
Dear Harv,
I agree with you, season’s in life and how it affect the emotions of individual positive or negative. And if we do not know how to manage and use best of those time especially winter season.
I am in winter season in my professional life for past more than a year, no job, no work. Initially I could not understand why this happened to me and making everything to comeback, but could not succeed.
Then I read few life lessons of successful people and that helped me understand the importance of time. I started building positive thinking and controlling negative ones.
Building repository of knowledge in my field and developing new one to prepare for next season.
I continue to build the same in present.
Dear Harv, I totally agree and take for me your three tips.
I have unconsciously applied the principle of gratitude in winter times and it truly helps us to stay positive by dispelling fear, anxiety and self-destructive attitude.
Hi Harv, I totally agree with your three tips to stay positive. I have gone through a rough patch, but just reading these three tips has energized me to start thinking positively about the coming season. Man am I looking forward to the new life. I really feel excited.
I know what you are talking about when you talk about winter. I have been unemployed for 2 years now ever since I graduated but I have never let that bring me down. I see my peers that I graduated with driving nice car and all that but somehow I have learned to be grateful for what I have now.
Hi Harv,
Winter… is only for a short period of time and part of life. Spring is coming and all other seasons will follow. I embrace them all, for each one has its benefits and lessons.
Thanks.
I’ve been having quite a long winter and have felt lost in some occasions , but I do I agree Ive submit myself through an important developing process these has probably been the longest and challenging and it seems far from over , but I felt its been the most educative one es well
This is inspiriing. The little I can add to this, if you wish to become successful, don’t have to complain, grumble, or find fault; nor succumb to the felings of envy and greed. Be contentent with what you have now and remember God will never abandon you in your lacking time.
Doing a plan and working on it is what I am gonna do every day. I think it’s quite important to reach your goals. If you are not planning, you will do it for nothing. We are just living 28.105 Days (men) or 29.200 days (women) statistics before we die. What are you waiting for.
Thank Harv for your inspiration and taking time, teaching and sharing your knowledge. Thanks also for the podcast with Tobias Beck. Thank you so much. João
Thanks Harv is a very useful article.
hay dias buenos y dias malos, pero el sol siempre saldra mañana y entonces habra una nueva oportunidad de hacer algo mejor y diferente, seguiré adelante!! Gracias infinitas por toda la información!!!!!!!!!!!!
Despues de leer ese articulo me doy cuenta que ahorra estoy enen una epocca de invierno en la cuall debo de realizar las. Inddicaciones que aquí se comentan, para que en mi proxima primavea me valla mucho mejor y dejar de pensar en lo que me hacce falta, o lo que ya no tengo.
Muchas gracias por el contenido muy educativo, sson cosas tan simples que hacen de nuetra viday unaa experiencia altamente efectiva.
I never thought about seasons but about the waves in my life.
I feel like I am in spring now: I am back to your book ( I red it tree years ago but got lost in day-to-day problems). Your book helped me tree years ago when I just went on my own (don’t you think it belongs to appreciation?)
Anyways, to stay optimistic I watch some comedy movies, find something good that I still have and learn lessons from situations.
I really appreciat this lesson.I now understand better, our personal seasons of life. Thank you.
This article is so on point. It makes lots of sense. This article relates to me both professionally and personally. Like they say, the dawn of day comes just after the darkest hour of the night. I’m so hopeful and optimistic because after winter comes the beautiful spring just as after the darkest hour of the night comes the first light of dawn which shines brighter and brighter.
Thank you Harv Eker and Co.
Great tips thank you😃
Yes the seasons do play their part in all áreas time to time.
I’m in the very beguin of spring🙂
I give my best even when it’s very little
I remaind my self everything will go (Chico clavier)
Gratitude 🙏
Nice piece Harv Eker, John maxwell said motivation gets you going while discipline keeps you growing in his 15 invaluable laws of growth. I want to believe one has to learn to discipline thyself toward being optimistic. It’s really a blessing that am with you in this moment of my life
Adorable lectura. De verdad muy acertada en la época de mi vida que estoy atravesando. Pero me da alegría saber que estoy mejorando y creciendo en todos los sentidos. Muchas Gracias Harv!! Recibe bendiciones.
I agree with you on season’s of life, because I know the feeling of winter season in my life, but it never stop me, and I feel like I am in my spring season because I have made progress in my life and will continue to make progress.
You mentioned the dreams of our youth are modified w/age. Yes, I agree & w/that modification must come the understanding that we may not be where we planned in our youth, we (probably) have as much, if not more, to be grateful, than when we were young.
The seasons is something I had not realized, but also agree w/you. It makes total sense.
Thank you for all you do Mr. Ecker.
Thanks Harv.
I believe we all need our winter times to keep us on our toes.
I agree with you. We need winter times to keep us closer to God
As hard as they are I really am grateful for all the challenges that I’ve overcome so far and all those still ahead. I’ve learned that there is always a lesson wrapped up in them and that’s how I’ve been able to stay optimistic overall. We all have our tough days and I still struggle to keep pushing towards my goals on days when depression tries to rear it’s ugly head but I’m getting better and quicker at recognizing it and putting it back in its box on the shelf and working towards my goals despite how I feel.
I am in winter right now. And yes winter will be over. It’s true that it appears to take forever. With the tips provided I am now navigating my winter and preparing for the coming season
En la vida pasamos por diversas etapas que a la larga nos enseñan a moldear nuestra personalidad. Muy interesante el punto de vista de las estaciones… cada una de ellas son lecciones de vida.
Thanks for article! I am uderstand that I have many good things already.
What an article! Thank you
I am so grateful for my new life! I know all about the seasons.
Paul and Tiffany Rohrbacher are in a season of growth…true bliss!
We have defined what we want…surrounded ourselves with all kinds of support…and remain grateful always.
Dear Harv,
Thank you so much for this extremely valuable information. I am in winter right now and have been for quite a while. With your tips I am positive, and what I am going to learn with you, I am positive that an amazing spring. is right ahead. God bless you!
I can see how life’s season apply to my personal and professional life. I’m currently in Winter as many different aspects of me are dying, old thought patterns and habits. I’m also looking at my career and how I can change that. I stay optimistic in times like this by practicing gratitude and doing things that I love doing, like having a bath with candles or watching my favourite movie. In my experience the worse the Winter the more wonderful the Spring and Summer. Because I’ve weathered the storm and kept optimistic a renewal of me occurs after that period, I know that my level has risen and I am stronger than ever before, the ever better. So in a way I relish the Winter,
Harv, thank you for the wisdom as l travel thought the season of winter now. You have given me the information needed to find the ROSE in this time of heaviness .
thank you
It’s unbelieveable how life works in cycles. It’s inevitable. No matter how much you wish your ‘spring’ times lasted forever, ‘winter’ sooner or later does come. The lucky part is that every time i come out of winter, i come out stronger and happier than i was before. It makes you prove yourself who you really are. Right now i’m getting out of winter, and i totally agree with you when you say that motives and principles are really important for those times. It keeps you on track
La gratitud te ayuda a aprovechar esas estaciones de invierno, que aunque sean difíciles y parezcan negativas siempre te dejan una enseñanza, un crecimiento algo nuevo que te ayuda a avanzar . Cuando estas agradecido por lo que tienes y te enfocas en los pensamientos positivos atraes mas de lo mismo y cuando nos desviamos del camino, el mismo deseo y la intención que tienes de cambiar la situación atrae artículos como estos. EXCELENTE.
Hola, es increíble como nunca antes me había detenido a analizar mi situación, viviendo en el pasado, queriendo tantas cosas y no esforzándome por ellas.
Gracias.
As i read this article. i realised that i don’t really need to worry about my current hard times that am going through since at least i have success that few people have achieved at my age in my country. Therefore, i left my job because i was’t happy with it and too much pressure so far now its 7 months not earning but happy as i plan to start my new project next month that will give me a peace of mind
Thank You Harv for empowering articles.
Dear Harv
I totally agree with you, there are always going to be difficult times, but if we stay focus on our main goal everything could be solve.
Right now I don’t feel either a good or bad season, but I do feel that this is not what I want for the rest of my life, I’ve always been grateful, but every time there is an obstacle I cocentrats too much in it that forgot my goal of freedom and abundance
Thanks your thoughts
Thank you very much for the wisdom words that you give us, thank you because whe I was more depressed, to read your book for second time, opened my eyes and showed me why I was stuck in my winter. But now I know what I was doing wrong. And now I am changing, I am taking my self out of my confort zone, and I am putting my self in the uncomfortable zone that I used to avoid. Now I am preparing my self for my sping, I know I have to plant the right seeds to create new and stronger roots free of the plague that myself sought to infect.
Dear Harv,
The tips are truly amazing. It added my my strength to move on and keep going with what I am now aiming to hit and dreaming to realize.
It is a great article. The right words. I honestly find it difficult to undertake long term plan. In as much as I hope to always do that; I realize I have some weakness. Yea, I read I need to use my actual to plan ahead. I need help pls
У меня сейчас Весна. Я пробуждаюсь и готова действовать для моего и всеобщего блага. Вперед, к своим целям. Пару дней назад впервые в своей жизни составила четкий финансовый план на 2018 год. Желаю себе выполнить его на 120%!
that’s true and helpful, i am going through one of the most blessed winters in my life, because i have the right toll, which is faith and attitude.
I started to move to absolutely another direction 3 years ago. I left my job and decided to do something for my future that I didn’t do before. It’s a challenge time for me and sometimes it’s realy hard. However, I know that I started new life which will be more better than before. It drives me ahead and makes me strong enough to go ahead.
Харв советы из книги ” думай как миллионер “очень классные.стараюсь внедрить их в своем бизнесе
многое не понятно . .но финансовый план на месяц уже есть .
Muchas gracias, Agradezco el tiempo que tomaste para enviarme esta información, gracias por creer que es importante para mi recibirla. Un abrazo.
De verdad gracias, gracias, por compartir tus conocimientos. Me estoy ¨” devorando ” el libro Los Secretos de la Mente MIllonaria y he encontrado muchos respuestas. NO es fácil cuando se esta pasando por el más terrible invierno de mi vida y cuando no se tiene la edad para comenzar, pero debo ser optimista, y abierta para entender la lección que debo aprender y me hago responsable .
Ojala algún día pueda asistir a su Seminario Intensivo de Mente MIllonaria, sería mi sueño.
Realmente me “toco” entender que no hay tiempo para lamentarse cuando estás en constante agradecimiento por lo que tienes. GRACIAS!
It is like the article gives to answers my problems. I really love it. Thank you professor.
Staying positive is definitely a key part to living a good life! Though sometimes it takes a conscious effort to get into that positive mindset, once done, the world seems right and at peace.
Muchas Gracias por las Enseñanzas.
Me encuentro en la etapa de Primavera, entrando a verano.
Ser Agradecido por cada reto, ya que Dios, el Universo, etc, te está preparando para algo Mejor.
Siendo Optimista, ves la mejor forma de cada problema,
Thank you for your words of encouragement .I am looking forward for the next one.
I love this article because in this exact moment I am in a winter season cycle of my life and I use to say to myself the following “there is nothing bad the goes on forever. One day it comes to an end”. And now after reading this article I see that I am being right and that your tips will help me even more for staying optimistic.
Thank you very much!

Quando li esta pagina eu modifiquei minha forma de enxergar as coisas . Agora descobri que pra cada uma delas eu preciso me adaptar e me programar. Aprendi muito sobre ser otimista .

gracias por estos sabios consejos
en este momento estoy en una temporada de invierno .
pero se que es temporal..
me siento muy agradecida con estas situaciones porque me han servido para reflexionar
y para pensar antes de actuar..
y tambien ahora soy mas espiritual…
Well I’m in summer, but does feel wintry, I’m going to try to plan my real winter and maybe it won’t be as bad as I usually feel it
Hola estoy muy agradecida de los consejos del libro y de estos mensajes diarios a mi correo, y haber logrado conectarme con gente tan positiva y exitosa,como T. Harv Eker y su equipo, lo que hace muy bien a mi vida, soy profesional desempleada en estos momentos, pero con muchos deseos de continuar desempeñándome en la vida laboral, ojala hasta el ultimo dia de mi vida, deseos y energía me sobran, quiero ser exitosa.
Soy una feliz madre y abuela, pero aun me encuentro completamente vigente para continuar trabajando y con deseos de seguir aprendiendo y continuar desarrollándome económicamente e intelectualmente. Saludos
I never really thought about it ,but I try my best not to complain,but these seasons of life,is something I never really.ponder on .I have learn to stay open minded,in all areas of my life,Financially, I’m not there yet, I really haven’t made no goals in my life ,but living one day at a time. I’m truly grateful for everything, just keeping a open mind. Thank you Mr.Eker
When I decided to quit my toxic job in May, I had no other job on the line but I was so optimistic that something would pop up and whenever I was asked why I left my job without a new one, I would say “My offer for a new job would soon come”. June 15th, I got another job that pays double my previous salary with benefits I was not getting from my previous job. I was optimistic during my winter period.. .
That was a leap of faith that turned out well. I did the same thing about the same time with promise of a job that is still in development. It is coming to past though. In the meantime I am taking time to develop myself.
Living for the moment is the way to go; being grateful for it knowing that it is o ly for now, not a lifetime.
They are really helpful and thanks a lot, please how do we have them as pdfs? And they really make sense. They make me change my outlook about life.
Привет Харв! Прочитал Вашу книгу,и статьи. Всё достаточно чётко описано. Вроде всё знакомо,а вот чтобы всё разложить по полочкам-это у Вас получилось очень хорошо. Да и сезоны! Как сказал один известный человек в России;”…осень жизни как и осень года надо благодарно принимать…” А благодарным надо быть за всё, даже за воздух которым мы дышим,ведь некоторые этого не могут делать так легко. “зимой за то что есть эта зима, а ведь могло вообще ничего не быть. У меня сейчас довольно длинная зима в финансовом плане.Но я готовлю “инвентарь” для работы на “поле жизни” и благодарю Бога за то что он отнял у меня только деньги. Спасибо Вам за Ваши книги и идеи
I believe life’s seasons give us choices and it is in how we look at those choices and how we react to them that effect our lives.. my stage is my life right now is my career and I am looking to make a positive change to make me happy, knowing that there are no accidents I truly believe everything happens for a reason and I welcome the unknown. It is when I am most uncomfortable I know I am growing. It is better to have an optimistic outlook because it makes the ride more enjoyable.
Muchas gracias T. Todo lo que dices me ayuda a ver la vida de otra manera. Ya no quiero seguir sufriendo ni lamentando por todas las cosas que he vivido. A pesar de mis 53 años. Sé que puedo darle otro rumbo a mi vida. Y lo voy hacer.
Hi Harv. I think I am in the spring of my life. Actually I am transitioning between winter and spring. This can sometimes be rough when you see the blessings ahead but not fully attainable yet. It has shown me that I still have some goals to set, discipline to develop while maintaining my peace and gratitude during this time. I am excited about my future and how God is going to use you to help me succeed. Blessings to you.
Muchas gracias.
Excelentes consejos.
Estoy en una etapa de inicio de invierno. Durante toda mi vida han habido muchas de estas etapas y muy fuertes. Sin embargo, este leve invierno que se avecina no lo será tanto, estoy segura. Pues las anteriores me han dejado grandes enseñanzas y me han dado una fuerza impulsadora para estar donde hoy me encuentro.
Este invierno que inicia, me anuncia que aun me falta más para aprender y eso estoy tratando de hacer.
De nuevo muchas gracias.
Oooh thank you so much,I graduated 2 years ago.I started a small business as its hard to get a job in uganda,unfortunately I got issues and all my capital went.I remained with nothing and am trying to rebuild my self.Am grateful that after reading this message felt motivated and I know soon I will up again.Thanks so much
Seasons change yes we can be up and definitely we can go down. As Mr. Moon said (from the movie Sing) “the good thing about being at the bottom is that the only way to escape is to go up”
Gracias por esa palabras de aliento, yo estoy pasando un invierno, he logrado cosas antes con mucho esfuerzo y dedicación cuando fui adolescente, ahora me estoy reconfigurando para cosas más grandes, estoy en proceso de dominar mi mente, ya que como se decir, SOLO VENCIÉNDOTE VENCERÁS…
Gracias por todo, el próximo año voy asistir a un curso de mente millonaria, para eso voy aprender inglés y en el 2019 te voy a dar un abrazo Harv, gracias por todo, infinitamente gracias y estoy agradecido de conocerte hoy, no me importa si es por este medio. gracias.
It´s important to realized that there is always hope after the storm and we have to take the control of your our destiny. I will do my best to get out of this winter season succesfully and really help other people to do the same. I am prepared to begin the most important change of my life.
Thank you for your support.
This is awesome!!! “The Winter” months seemed to be longer then they should be. And now that when I start to apply being grateful for what I have, I believe a better future will happen.
Seems I have been in a winter funk for too long, and now with your help, which I am very appreciated for. I have been focusing on the spring and summer. I see no end to where I am wanting to be in the future.
Thanks Harv!!
a positive words ,so nice

I love winter season. I can take much time for indoor activities that I am less up to in the warmer seasons. Reading books, beeing creative, enjoying my sauna…
Harv, I am greatful for your inspirations!
“Tough times don’t last; tough people do!”
Thanks T.Harv , a salient reminder while I am having bit of a winter experience right now , funny thing is as I have myself reassured my wife we will be OK as we always are, maybe just OK inst quite good enough anymore but bottom line is we will be OK , thanks again and see you on the sunny side soon.
Muy buenas tardes, Sr harv.
Reciba mis mas cordiales saludos.
no hablo ingles

Dear Harv,
I totally agree with you and appreciate your teachings. The seasons of life in my view are never totally separate, you might experience winter in your financial life while experience spring in your work life or summer in your relationships.
There is always something to be grateful for and I believe that as long as we show gratitude to God, the universe and the people in our lives we will make it through all of our winters.
Thank you so much for the continued encouragement and support
Being optimistic and staying optimistic remaining optimistic is one and only option left for me right now. I am in a season of life whereby I indebted because of what seems like an unending business failures.Within the last 18years I have been experiencing investment failures in every 2years.Right now I am in a debt trap of equivalent to $5,000. But from what I am hearing and receiving from you in these few days I joined you and this wonderful community my optimism has risen.Best regards.
Thank you for Spreading the word.. its all about making and leaving the world a better place
It does make sense and am reminded to evaluating what season am in to better prepare for the next season rather then being unaware and not be prepared.
Leer este artículo me recordó que ya alguien me había hecho la misma comparación de la vida.
Yo estoy en el invierno en este momento, analizando y cambiando mi mente para que los próximos inviernos sean llevaderos, y para que mi próxima primavera sea de cocecha abundante, y todas las que le sigan a partir de hoy.
Gracias por pasar este conocimiento y por enseñar sistemas y métodos para enriquecernos y ser abundante.
Lo único innegociable es avanzar hacia el objetivo.
It’s a beautiful piece of advice…. I am putting every word to practice because I know it’s not just about listening and learning.. But also putting everything learnt into practice..thanks
A m so inspired by the emails that you have send me…my thinking is getting transformed …thank you for good..inspiration emails
Whatever happened in my life I will always think positive …. whatever challenge .just be thankful and be greatfull ..that u can do it and be proud of ur talent .. whatever. Seasons u may face… always think positive that u will be a successful today…
the seasons have an impact on my well-being. in the winter I’m lethargic as if I was falling asleep. I would be sitting at home most of the time. This is the time in which I often wonder why life is so colorless and when spring comes, everything starts to be different colored. well-being is also much better. then I want a lot more. I have more energy. although this does not translate into my finances, unfortunately
Absolutely agree, thanks for sharing. It’s always good to get a reminder.
Yes totally get the seasons. Accept and use the time as it has been given.
Pie so que no es fácil mantener el ánimo en momentos difíciles, pero. Con esfuerzos se logra levantar.
El. Estado emocional es de altibajos y hay que trabajar mucho enos consejos que nos das hoy.
Buen articulo Dios los. Bendiga.
Thank you. They are good tips and make a lot of sense with the example. I will definitely apply the lessons.
Going through winter right now, things are hard but I have so much to be thankful for when I look around me it makes me cry as my heart is full. I’m not down and out I have plenty to be thankful for. So much to look forward to. I’m about to walk in to my best season o abundance yet.
Gracias Harv por sus enseñanzas motivantes.
Definitivamente es vital aprender a practicar el optimismo sin dejar de aceptar la realidad. La vida es cíclica, todo es cíclico y todo lo que nos sucede tiene un propósito en nuestras vidas, de modo que el optimismo nos da ese coraje para aceptar y continuar adelante, aprendiendo siempre. muchas gracias.
Still winter .. but planning learning collecting all resorses for the new start…
I really appreciate ur effort in helping us in life lessons…am greatful,more wisdom
Never decide and comment on others for not helping on your difficulties that are popping out as it should be our strategy to understand and avoid such a situation and to reach great heights so this difficulty looks smaller to you soon.
Be optimistic and lead the life like a leader who is born to lead.
Good morning
Me encuentro en un ciclo primaveral profesionalmente, 3 metros de nieve en mi invierno persona, sin ganas de moverme de mi sofa calentita con una manta.
A partir de hoy navego diferente entre mis estaciones, hay veces que lo ovio no lo vemos, ” en invierno podemos planear la primavera” me ha entrado como un cohete.
Gácias por tus consejos!!!
Thanks so much for these tips cause right now am in that winter period, was anxious and in fear, that I lost it all completely. But thanks for reminding me, that the season will surely pass.
Thank you, T. Harv!
Да благодаря оптимизму я живу и в первую очередь это вера в нашего Создателя неба и земли !Харв твои советы помогают лучше понимать принципы которые оставил нам Бог через своего сына и слово . мне с детства не привили чувство благодарности и это создает проблемы и нет чувства меры и баланса пользуясь деньгами Спасибо !!! Что вы меня этому обучаете !
I am at retired age and live on my economy from my father’s death. I don’t earn money and have a serious illness. How can I save when I have nothing to save? In a few months money will be gone but trying to visualise the best outcome as always.
Chantal, I saw your comment and wanted to give you a perspective to consider. I don’t work for Harv, I am actually someone also following his program.
First off, I am sorry to hear about your Father’s passing and and to read that you have a serious illness, and wish you well.
Having said that, while you are looking for options to increase your wealth since the $$ you had from your father’s death will dry up soon — I imagine (whether you realize it or not) you have a good perspective / insights to share as someone who is retired, on a fixed income and will an illness. I imagine there are many people in the world going through a similar situation. So, as an option to consider for building wealth…why don’t you try researching how to start a BLOG? Your blog can focus on your daily life in this situation (just write how you feel), you can share lessons learned in your life with your illness and how you coped through very hard time, you can discuss who/what you turned to for help.
Then, after you have some content published….share this BLOG on Facebook, or with friends and family. You never know, this could catch-on and become a source of inspiration for others!!
God bless you, and good luck. A quote I live by in this game we call life: “Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing about.” -Benjamin Franklin
I think that Harv Eker was a druid ,…
Jestem wdzięczny za wszystkie pory roku i trzy wskazówki.
Nie jest ważne co nam się w życiu przydarza, ale jak do tego podchodzimy
I’m experiencing Winter right now, but I have so much to keep me warm: my self development research, newsletters and webinars from T. Harv Eker, online resources to increase my business skills, family, an apartment, my possessions…and free time to practice all that I am learning. I believe that once I am ready with my growth, I will start receiving and be able to manage it better:) Your article is on point. Never give up! Thank you Harv! :))
Thank you very much for the lessons.
¡Hola Harv!
Estoy totalmente de acuerdo con la comparación que haces ya que emocionalmente tenemos situaciones en nuestras vidas que son hermosas primaveras que disfrutar. Aunque cuando llegan los inviernos, es complicado actuar para pensar en positivo.
Personalmente, en estas épocas de invierno decido centrarme en lo que tengo, agradecer lo afortunada que soy y buscar actuaciones que me permitan cambiar la situación que estoy viviendo en estos momentos.
Si te focalizas en los problemas, tu mente se nubla y no puedes encontrar las soluciones que te ayudarán a salir de ese momento de dificultad.
Muchas gracias por este maravillo artículo.
Un abrazo y,
hasta la próxima.
This was right on time. Going through the lowest and toughest times of life, this far. This reminder on how to get out this rut is truly a blessing. Thank you!
Hi Harv,
Thanks for the insightful information. It is so valuable and on point. Yet, while your information was most valuable and inspiring, I find myself feeling overwhelmed and somewhat confused on what steps I should take next. Is there such a this as being overly prepared or extreme learning. I’ve been working on me and improving my skill sets for months, reading, watching YouTube, going to seminars, and classes in my field of interest, yet I sometime feel as if I don’t know where to start. What are your thoughts….or suggestions?
Great tips that can be implemented straight away!
After reading this article, I really feel encouraged as I am going through a hard time now, and that I have to be grateful ,for what I have now even as I am having this experience, for it dispels anxiety and a self- defeating attitude. I have learnt to prepare my self for the next season from one season.
I just want to say thanks for everything u do , u are helping us a lot, be strong and keep calm is not for everyone, maybe not everyone is ready… But I can say Yes I’m …Nothing is better or make u feel better than help someone or give exactly what they need…
God is awesome, I’m a good player and I’m a winner And I’m so lucky to be here .
Game on
Estoy en invierno y son momentos difíciles, lo que hago es levantarme con excelente actitud para el día nuevo y tener una nueva oportunidad de crear mi riqueza tanto emocional como financiera, aunque este deshecho por dentro sigo adelante y busco la manera de salir del bache.
Harv, I think that there are people who do not have winter, only two seasons, summer and autumn and, however, have other different forms of habitat to other people who are in four different worlds, or know it is cold or know is hot; that cold medium or medium hot does not go with me, so tell me that I am a visceral, we must have the humility to obey with discipline. Try new challenges to break paradigms, in the administration of the monkeys, as the resistance to change overrides all objective and let me carry, to not resist the new current that is imposed to me, then I environment I like a carburetor from a vehicle and then run to high speed and should be grateful with you repair it affected this vehicle. This gave it, because I’ve lived it intensely, and after that I read a part of your book; turn me slightly with much skepticism, well thanks, the layout is important and contribute to give and receive, beyond go, forward; back or to pick up momentum, again thank you.
Am applying everything that I’ve read so far in the book am only on part two. And it has helped me a lot! Its funny how we often underestimate the power of the mind & how much when you really commit to your goal of wealth, the universe really does open up channels for you. Am so glad I came across your book. Its really a great read & an even greater eye opener!!
Thank you very much!!
