?Do you know all of us consistently get wake-up calls throughout our lives.
Most of us do not pay any attention to the wakeup calls till it becomes a major crisis.
Why - because in the initial stages of crisis - the problems are so insignificant that they don’t disrupt your life and neither do they create any nagging irritation - so you are happy to ignore them.
Most problems - when ignored have a way of snowballing into great pain-causing intensity and erupting with monumental volcanic power.
So what are the wakeup calls - Wakeup calls are warning signals and decisive reminders - that something in your life is drastically wrong or in the way you do things - or about something happening around you - which needs your immediate attention.
These calls may come - in your profession, in your relationship, in your children’s life, in your health or your financial life.
Wakeup calls are the subconscious messages sent to us as a flashing thought to make us pause and reflect and create course-correction measures to change whatever is making us stuck.
A wake-up call is an indicator of approaching catastrophe to review our perspective and to see things from different points of view to create appropriate mitigation plans.
Many times you may find numerous crisis - might be happening together in almost all aspects of your life - remember the quote “trouble never comes alone” and the famous Murphy’s Law.
Many time when some atrocious events takes place in your life - the resulting disruption can make you question what the hell you are doing with your life - if this happens then the wakeup call becomes a meaningful transformative phase.
Paying attention to the Wake-Up Calls can change the quality of your life - as the purpose of wakeup calls is to awaken you to make you take timely actions in some very crucially important area of life.
It is easy to ignore wakeup calls - as most often - they come as a gentle whispers or as a flashing thought that disappears quickly.
Very rarely - you may find that you not only recognize these signal and take action in time [before it strikes and causes a major crisis].
Not recognizing and ignoring the wakeup calls for long - would take you to a point of no returns, ultimately - where your life may get paralyzed and stuck - and unless you take actions to change - you may promote self-destruction.
A wake up call may come in the form of something unpleasant — an unexpected death, a breakup, a sickness, or some sort of loss.
The Power of Wakeup Calls - you may find that - few changes have happened in your life only because you ignored these wakeup calls till it was too late - and then the strong-arm tactics of the providence took over.
Understand that - Nothing in your life happens all of a sudden - barring natural calamities, accidents and some deaths.
I can guarantee that you will discover in hindsight - after you have ignored some major wakeup calls and have gone through the complete cycle of turmoil - that you have had numerous and consistent warnings which you chose to disregard - before your life got so dramatically altered.
Wakeup calls can also change - What seemed important before becoming least important by completely changing your priorities.
Whether a wakeup call becomes a boon or a bane depends on what you are willing to learn from it and whether you are ready to make big changes in your life and lifestyles.
Sometimes ignoring the wakeup calls may force you to hit bottom - which could be the best thing to happen to you - if you take right measures - post crisis phase.
