Are your failures pilling up on you and making you feel a
little like quitting?
Stop! If you answered yes to that question congratulations, you are a one-step closer to understanding that failure is one of the secrets to success. Look at all the things you have done the mistakes that you have made and the benefits of all the valuable lessons you have learned from the mistakes that you have already gotten behind you. You may not realize it but you are right where you are supposed to be.
Failing is actually a very real part of winning. Don't feel bad because you have failed at something, at least you are out there trying to do something. Be proud of yourself, you are out there testing your limits, which is far more than most people you know are doing. The next time you fail, do not apologize to anyone for it. Just say, yes I failed and I am proud of it because I was brave enough to step out and test my limits in an effort to discover the secrets to success.
I read something once that really stuck with me, and what the author said was, "You can not hold up in the safe zone of behavior where you have beaten the odds of failing. The unwillingness to encounter defeat or run into problems outlaws success. Unless you allow yourself to make mistakes, to fail, you will never have the opportunity to test the limits of what you are truly capable of accomplishing." Now do you see where failing is a very real part of winning? Understanding failure is one of the secrets to success no matter what you trying to accomplish.
If you are like me and the majority of the population, you have heard people tell you all your life, "Better to be safe than sorry." "Don't take a chance." You see you have been conditioned all your life to think "do not fail." That's all a bunch of crap. Get out there and do what you want to do, and do it right now. If you meet up with some temporary defeat so what, learn from it and try again. However, do not give up! Never ever, give up! The only time that failure is not part of winning is when you decide to quit. Winners never quit and quitters do not understand the secrets to success and that is why they quit.
In a book titled "YOU 2" written by Price Prichett, the author says, "As someone has said, everything looks like a failure in the middle. You can not bake a cake without getting the kitchen messy. Half way through the surgery, it looks like there has been a murder in the operating room. If you send a rocket to the moon, about 90% of the time it is off course. It fails its way to the moon by continually making mistakes and correcting them." You see, mistakes and failure are part of the process of success.
The author Prichett goes on to say, "So often in life it seems that things first get worse on their way to getting better. Be prepared for that sort of development. Problems belong in the process of success. They are part of the equation that produces success. They are not proof that your ambitions are futile or that you should give up."
"Out of order comes chaos, and then out of chaos comes order - a higher degree of order than that which existed prior to the chaos." -Bob Proctor.
When I was growing up and still living with my parents, my father and I would do our own mechanic work on our cars. My father was a really smart man, not real educated, but smart in many ways. He could take an engine apart, spread it out on a tarp, clean all the gunk and built up grease off of everything, put new rings on the pistons and new main and rod bearings in and put it all back together again and it would run like a new engine.
If you were to watch this process you would think that there is no way that, he was going to be able to put that mess back together again. My point in telling you this is that half way through anything it looks like you are not going to make it. Like Bob says " Out of order comes chaos, and then out of chaos comes order - a higher degree of order than that which existed prior to the chaos." Before he tore the engine down everything was in order, after tearing it down and spreading it out on a tarp it appeared to be in total chaos. But he was only half way through at that point. After it was cleaned and reassembled, it was in a higher degree of order than that which existed prior to the chaos, it was cleaner and ran better than before.
Therefore, if you find yourself in the middle of whatever it is that you are trying to do or accomplish and everything seems to be a total chaos and appears as if you are not going to make it, DON'T GIVE UP! Understanding that failure is one of the secrets to success, you will know that success is eminent at this point; you are right where you are supposed to be. Keep your faith in yourself and your God given talents and know that you can accomplish anything you have the desire to do.
Great success to you and God bless!
