There are times when everyone will get off the track to their success. I don’t care who they are. It happens. If this has happened to you, understand that this does not signify that you cannot make it, will not make it, or any other negative thing. It simply means that something happened to get you where you are, and that now is the time to get going once again.
The reasons for getting off track are numerous. The seriousness of the situations may be big, but none of this really matters so long as you recognize that you’re no longer heading in the direction you wanted to be heading, and you decide to get back in the saddle and ride. Continue your journey.
I believe getting off track does happen for a reason, however. It seems to be a message from the universe that we need to evaluate our life circumstances or our plan. I’m not suggesting that your plan may be the wrong plan. This may be an opportunity to reaffirm your commitment, nothing more. Or perhaps you just need to tweak your plan.
If you find yourself off track, take a moment to realize this and get quiet inside to receive any wisdom to be gained from your awareness. Chances are there is a lesson just waiting for you to become aware of. Don’t try to guess what that lesson is. Just quiet your mind and open yourself to receiving it. It will come. This is not the time to jump to any conclusions as to the worthiness of yourself or your goals.
If anything, this may be the time to regroup your thoughts and accelerate your efforts to reach an entirely new level. It may be just the last stop before you lift off to heights you never dreamed were possible before.
Now the majority of people, when they find themselves off track, immediately come to the conclusion there was something wrong with the goal itself. Perhaps it was too ambitious or unrealistic. Stop! Surely you’re not trying to say that the universe is not capable of providing what you desire. Desire itself is based in unrealized potential within you trying to find expression in the manifest. Desire comes from beyond your physical self. It is your spirit letting you know what is possible.
Will it be easy? Well this I can not answer. It depends on many things. Most predominantly it depends on how clear you are and how determined you are. By clear, I mean to say how much negative programming do you have planted in your subconscious mind that does nothing but hinder your efforts. We all have this programming.
Getting off track is often a sign that we need to discover what negative programming is still lurking in the shadows of our mind, blocking our clear vision. This is where determination comes in. Don’t give up. Search yourself to find the underlining cause that got you off track. Understand it, accept it, and let it go. Refocus on the reasons you desire to reach this goal, open yourself to be inspired once more and begin again.
In doing so, you’ve just progressed to the next level. You are not a quitter. You are determined to succeed, and you will succeed! Go for it and show the world the way once you’ve made it. The world always needs more sources of inspiration for the rest. You can be the next.
To your Infinite Success!

Sometimes getting off track, even way offtrack, is what shows us clearly how far we have strayed from our goal and what we have to do to get back on track. It seems to all be part of the process leading toward success.
ReplyDeleteI fully agree with Dr. Erica. The important thing to remember is to get yourself back on track. This is what will separate you from the majority who decide to give it up at the first sign of trouble.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your thoughts.
