Even when the chips are down and life is going downhill, there’s always a redeeming quality about your situation. Ask yourself at all times, how can this work for me?
I was arrested in 2013 and thought that my life was ruined. It was a fairly petty charge in the grand scheme of things. But I began to ruminate over how my life was over and got into a pretty depressed state of mind. I did realize that employers and customers don’t really care about your past.
Instead of asking yourself about how employable you are, just be so damn good at something they can’t ignore you.
If you strive to be a person of value before you seek out success and opportunity, nobody will care about your past. I was able to make my past work for me by marketing my lived experience.
You are always going to be an expert at something.
Use what makes you uniquely skilled.
I was able to help people on the autism spectrum as a life coach because I had risen above the exact same challenges they are trying to rise above.
Your gift to the world will come from your greatest challenges.
Once a success, always a success. If you have prior success, nobody can take that away from you.
Draw on what makes you unique.
What can you do, or who can you inspire that nobody else can?
Once you find out who you can serve, start being of service to others.
Strive to be so valuable that people will line up left, right, and center to get your service.
You have skills that your past has given you. Decide who you will serve and start taking action to get clients today.
People need what you have to offer. Double down on successes, once a success always a success. I use my lived experience to help people who are dealing with what I overcame.
That’s the magic.
Every big challenge you have ever had is life’s way of grooming you for your higher purpose.
God has a plan for you.
Read from your past, your past successes are the way.
To your success,
Angus
