Jon Gordon – The Shark and The Goldfish

A fable about overcoming adversity and fear from the bestselling author of The Energy Bus and Training Camp

Now more than ever fear and uncertainty are becoming staples of daily life. During changing times, it’s easy to worry, give up, and let fear paralyze you. However, you have more control than you think you do, and how you handle adversity is your choice—the only choice that matters.

Many successful people and businesses have grown to prominence during even the worst recessions and downturns. These successful people and organizations all shared similar characteristics and took similar actions to thrive while others merely tried to survive. You can do the same.

In The Shark and The Goldfish, bestselling author Jon Gordon shares an inspiring fable about a goldfish who has always been fed, a nice shark who teaches him to find food and a wave of change that brings them together. In the process of finding food the Shark teaches the Goldfish the ultimate lesson—that the difference between a full belly and an empty stomach depends solely on your faith, beliefs, and actions.

In the face of adversity, this is a simple fable that reinforces a proven truth—you can’t control the events in your life. But you can control how you respond to them. You can allow the waves of change to crush you or you can learn to ride them to a successful future. Delightfully illustrated and packed with tips and strategies for thriving during tough times, The Shark and The Goldfish is a quick read that will have a life-long impact.

Twenty Ways to Get Mentally Tough

When you face a setback, think of it as a defining moment that will lead to a future accomplishment.
When you encounter adversity, remember, the best don’t just face adversity; they embrace it, knowing it’s not a dead end but a detour to something greater and better.
When you face negative people, know that the key to life is to stay positive in the face of negativity, not in the absence of it. After all, everyone will have to overcome negativity to define themselves and create their success.
When you face the naysayers, remember the people who believed in you and spoke positive words to you.
When you face critics, remember to tune them out and focus only on being the best you can be.
When you wake up in the morning, take a morning walk of gratitude and prayer. It will create a fertile mind ready for success.
When you fear, trust. Let you faith be greater than your doubt
When you fail, find the lesson in it, and then recall a time when you have succeeded
When you head into battle, visualize success
When you are thinking about the past or worrying about the future, instead focus your energy on the present moment. The now is where your power is the greatest
When you want to complain, instead identify a solution
When your own self-doubt crowds your mind, weed it and replace it with positive thoughts and positive self-talk
When you feel distracted, focus on your breathing, observe your surroundings, clear your mind, and get into The Zone. The Zone is not a random even. It can be created
When you feel all is impossible, know that with God all things are possible
When you feel alone, think of all the people who have helped you along in the way and who love and support you now
When you feel lost, pray for guidance
When you are tired and drained, remember to never, never, never give up. Finish strong in every thing you do
When you feel like you can’t do it, know that you can do all things through Him who gives you strength
When you feel like your situation is beyond your control, pray for surrender. Focus on what you can control and let go of what you can’t
When you’re in a high-pressure situation and the game is on the line, and everyone is watching you, remember to smile, have fun, and enjoy it. Life is short, you only live once. You have nothing to lose. Seize the moment
