It's Not A Failure, It's A Life Lesson Learned.

4/5/2011

 
It’s so funny how we always ponder life’s perceived failures instead of looking at the successes in our lives. I know from experience that having a type “A” overachiever, win at all costs personality tends to not only humble us when we hit a bump in the road but bring us to our knees. I have participated in enough life coaching opportunities from professionals to helpful friends to know that it not how one rises from their success but how one rises from the falls that truly makes the person you are. Failure is inevitable, if we are to succeed in life. Unfortunately, many people do not know how to overcome failure, and they are stopped by it when they encounter one. The ability to overcome failure is one big difference between successful and mediocre people. After all, we should pass failure on the way to success, so it is the ability to pass it that makes the difference between those who eventually reach success and those who don’t? These are things that I can catch myself constantly get caught in. So as a self-imposed exercise, okay my partner puts me on these quests to keep me focused; I am marching to the positive force and posting these tips to move forward. I put them up in plain site on the wall by my computer to always stay motivated and positive everyday.

Tip 1# Rise up and have no regrets. You have spent your time wisely!

A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.

-George Bernard Shaw

Tip 2# Failure is how we gain wisdom and is always an opportunity to learn.

Good people are good because they've come to wisdom through failure

-William Saroyan

Tip 3# Keep confidence in yourself. Don’t give up on the most important person YOU!

Don't be afraid of the space between your dreams and reality.  If you can dream it, you can make it so.

-Belva Davis

Tip 4# Stay motivated and enthusiastic. One good way is by realizing that you are now one step closer to success thanks to the lessons you learn.

Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.

-Thomas A. Edison

Tip 5# Learn as much as possible from the failed attempts.

Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow.

- Albert Einstein

Tip 6# Dream Big! Post a Goal Board and don't be afraid to post big!

Tip 7# Pick a new path, a new client even a new direction.  It's important not to get caught up on unrewarding returns.

Tip 8# Focus on giving.  Contributing to others is always motivating.   It works for me, I don't know why.  Maybe it's because by doing so one becomes less focused on my own problems.  It doesn't mean that the problems that one runs from the problem, it just means that the problems seem less daunting and intimidating.  Why? One is not thinking about oneself.  Brighten someone else's life today and somehow your life will also be brightened.
