What Can You Do To Make Yourself Unstoppable.

Most of us have kids and at times we see them playing video games l mean for hours. You know why they play for hours not because they are winning but because they are losing. They are doing all they can to get to the next level of that game and then they get sent back to square one. They do this over and over again, trying to achieve the next level of the game. Where they made a mistake or a wrong turn, they take the approach and the challenge with a new strategy.

Lets think about this here for a minute, kids learning and teaching them selves to get to the next level over and over again is this not what our life's as adults is all about. We as adults give up way to quick, just because we made a wrong turn and fell flat on our face and got sent back to square one. How come we do not approach our mistakes as kids do and start all over again and apply new strategies to get us where want to be.

This is one of the biggest reason l never get upset watching my kids and friends playing video games because l know one thing they are learning problem solving skills, and experimenting with different approaches, they're gain confidence but most of all having fun but yet learning life strategies.

Each time they get to next level of that game, they will have to repeat the same process over and over again. The ability of not beating or winning that game never even enters there mind...Wow kids have this ability to tackle problems and face them over and over again and yet we as adults, we have tendency to hide from our obstacles in everyday life............

So the next time you have an obstacle in your way and your having a real hard time with it, think about your kid or any kid playing a video game and how he approaches the obstacles that sent him back to square one. He thinks, and decides to apply new found strategy to his new approach, how we should also as adults approach our let downs, never allow the though of defeat even enter your mind.

If you approach each obstacle with this mind set you going strength your conviction, raising your expectations and then you will conquer your fears that have held you back for so long. The more you apply this formula the easier it will get and you will recognize each small victory along the way making you stronger and you will start to believe in yourself like never before. This is how you make yourself unstoppable one small victory after another...................

See kids do have the ability to teach us, we just have to understand how they think they have no boundaries in life defeat never enters there minds. So the next time your kids are playing a video game learn from them by watching what they do................
