Overcoming a Great Personal Challenge
Jul 22, 2008
By Cameran Hadlock
I have a personal challenge that I haven’t fully conquered yet—but I’m about to share how both you and I can, once and for all, overcome it.
My challenge—and probably yours too—is this: exercising faith consistently and diligently enough to bring a desire to life. That means choosing to show up, take action, and stay the course—day after day, month after month—until the goal is achieved.
Sound familiar?
You start something with enthusiasm. You’re committed. You take action. But somewhere along the way, motivation fades, distractions creep in, and the momentum dies. The goal slips further and further away. Faith fizzles. Diligence disappears.
But here’s the truth:
Just like a plant dies without water, and a car can’t reach its destination without fuel, our faith needs to be fed—consistently—through focused, daily effort. Faith sets us on the path, but diligence is what carries us through to the finish line.
Life is a great teacher, so let me share an example from my own experience.
I had an idea to create a website and knew that in order to generate traffic, I’d need to regularly add content—my own articles. I started strong, writing consistently for the first couple of weeks. But soon, doubt crept in. Would anyone even read this? That small question chipped away at my energy. My writing slowed, and eventually… stopped.
What happened?
My doubts had silenced the diligence that my faith had initially inspired.
And without that diligence, the vision I believed in never became reality.
But now, here’s how we conquer that challenge—together.
Step 1: Know exactly what you want.
Get crystal clear on the outcome. What does it look like? Feel like?
Step 2: Visualize the feeling.
Close your eyes and imagine what it will feel like when your goal is achieved. Let that feeling grow inside you.
Step 3: Repeat your outcome statement daily—ten times—with feeling.
Let yourself feel that great emotion every single time.
When you do these three steps consistently, your faith will grow stronger. You'll start to believe—deeply—that your outcome is already real. That growing faith naturally fuels Step 4: Take action.
Not forced, frantic action—but natural, inspired action. You’ll find yourself wanting to take the next step. You’ll do what needs to be done with energy and purpose.
Don’t let your dreams slip through your fingers—not again.
You deserve to experience the joy of seeing them fulfilled.
So go ahead. Try these four steps for yourself.
I dare you to test them.
I dare you to watch what happens.
I dare you to believe—and then act.
Let’s make your dreams come true.
