Failure to Success


“Failure = Success”

It has been a minute since my last blog. So, I wanted to share something again worthwhile for you to enjoy and to share with someone. I’ll be sharing some tools, tips, and practices that can help change your ability to go from failure to victor!

Let us began... by saying the sweetest victory in life is the one that is most difficult. I’ll be absolutely Frank with you and the rest of the world. It requires that you reach deep within yourself to fight with everything you have and you must be willing to leave everything on the field. Our society has forgotten how this plays in today world. Society has changed the field, now losers get a trophy. You should never allow yourself to except that notion. 

You see, history wasn’t built or documented from failures. The only concepts or exceptions are those who failed but yet changed their course and made history. Here’s a prime case of an individual, who was sent home from school being called out as being a person of low learning abilities. Thomas Edison, whose most memorable invention was the light bulb, which purportedly tool him 1,000 tried before he finally developed a successful prototype. When he was asked, “How did it feel to fail, so, many times and then finally get it?” a local reporter asked. Edison replied,“I did not fail 1,000 times as it seems. The light bulb is an invention of 1,000 steps.” According to the passage, he didn’t fail but rose up a victor. Way to often, people hear the expression failure and they cannot avoid the notion that fear comes with it. 

I believe it was Jim Rohn who said; “Success is nothing more than a few simple disciplines, practiced everyday.” We ought practice the great teaching of old, it is what made men...men! Not to sound sexist or anything. But I’m sure you get the point I’m trying to convey. In fact, I heard my mentor Eric Thomas once say, “To be the best, you must learn from the best.” Of course, he was referring to the Bible, which is filled with principles and standards. Eric went into saying; “That failure doesn’t make you a failure for life unless you stay the night there.” I professionally believe, it is a teacher for life, and it should only last a moment. You might say that failure is life’s greatest medicine. Perhaps, thats why many of the mavericks or legends become so well known. They fully understood the meaning behind failure and the power it had at pushing someone to reach his/her best.

Reaching your potential of being great and seeing your achievements is going to cross the path of failure and fear at some point. Why would you want some tips or advantages on how to get though it? I did a blog about fear and you’ll have to read that later when you have a moment. But on to the present blog. We must commit to the road of possessing a right attitude toward failure and that of “No Fear” will prevail against me despite the challenge. Achieving your best is going to take those things I mentioned herein and put them into practice. And if you truly want to see the climax of your impossible turn into possible then you’re going to need to stop fearing failure. We call it mental training it helps push people beyond their normal degree, people such as Winston Churchill, Abraham Lincoln, and many other modern legends. When the reward is so great, that fear sets in and failure start to arise. Do not give much attention that it, because it will take your focus away from reaching your goal. Embrace the possible failure for what it is and make note that it was a snag or challenge. These are part of the pillars that support your foundation toward reinventing the new you or some other worthy cause. 

Here’s my Rule:

1) Always see failure as an opportunity to try harder. 
2) Always do more than your paid for in life.  
3) Never compare yourself to others. 
4) Let the past go and focus on the opportunity God gave you. 
5) Always teach/coach others on what has helped you achieve. 




Best,
