Change your thoughts and you change your world. -Norman Vincent Peale
Not surprising, one of the core reasons that hinder us from the realization our innermost goals and desires is our inability to be flexible.
Sad, but true! We do everything we can to eliminate any type of potential suffering in our lives, yet challenges and pressures do undoubtedly bring out the best in us.
If you have been encumbered by slip-ups in the past, learn from them, forget about them, and move on. Some people tend to focus on how bad their lives have been due to these mistakes. As a result, they remain trapped in their own perceived, miserable existance.
Regard your past mistakes as lessons, and apply them as learning references for future endeavors...
So what if you have invested in something important to you, something 'huge' and you in-turn lost a substantial amount of money? From a situation like this, most people would remain deeply discouraged for a long period of time and their personal lives would sequentially be adversely affected. Their eating becomes impaired and they can't sleep, just staring at the ceiling all night long, thinking how awful things are. Furthermore, they would probably vow not to venture into new opportunities again. This is exceedingly too common, what a shame.
Don't be a victim, don't be afraid to fail. You must be able to take risk?or risk your chances to achieve your goals or most anything that you desire in life. Be cautious and use your past mistakes as a road map, a guide to prevent future failure.
You must clearly see it this way... If you try, at least you have a 50% chance of getting what you want. But if you don't try at all, you have absolutely no chance of attaining what you aspire to or for in life. It's a no-brainer.TRY and TRY again!
And when you do, follow through, finish the job. I've met too many people who have accepted my proposal to work side-by-side with me and learn how to be an effective coach, but most of them would abruptly stop right in the middle of their educational phase and quit, it's just too hard to get good at something so personally empowering. They have the drive to start, but they lack the motivation to persevere. Yes, this is another fact of life. Those who persist may have one heck of a time in the beginning, but are almost always the last man or woman standing.
Let's fast forward into the future. Let's say you did try, you followed through and you succeeded. Congratulations. So you became wealthy, successful and affluent?a person of prosperity and you reaped the glorious fruits of your labor. It is extremely difficult to remain on top, look at Michael Jackson. Problems are sure to arise again, so always be ready to adjust to whatever comes your way?go with the FLOW! The only thing permanent and inevitable in this world is change.
If you need to sacrifice something for a better cause, then do it. Do what you must to attain your 'object' of desire.
You will and should encounter difficulties along the way. You will and should receive criticisms. You may even be regarded as being "different" or "strange" by others. Don't let them discourage you. As I have said before, just keep on keepin' on?continue striving forward and success will be yours for the taking. I guarantee!
