It is easy to forget that behind many of the greatest success stories in life lies a tangled web of former mis-fortune, failure, bankruptcy, lost opportunity and despair. It is not what life deals out that matters, but rather how we choose to respond to the challenges we face.Focus your attention on finding solutions rather than dwelling on problems.
Solutions = Success
Problems = Pain
Take comfort in knowing you are not alone in having to confront failure on a daily basis.
Thomas Edison held over 1000 US Patents for his inventions, yet was told by a teacher at school that he was 'too stupid to learn anything'. It took Edison close to 10,000 failed attempts before he introduced the first incandescent light bulb to the world. Edison did not regard any of his trials as a failure, rather just confirmation of one more proven way not to make a light bulb.
Ludwig van Beethoven, widely regarded as one of the supreme classical composers, was rated by his music teacher as being 'hopeless at composition'. During his career he lost his hearing, yet still managed to produce an enormous volume of quality output. A deaf man composing some of the world's most memorable music of all time? Clearly Ludwig knew how to turn perceived early failure into success, despite a devastating physical handicap.
The first cartoon production made by Walt Disney took him into bankruptcy. Newspaper editors of the time ridiculed him as having 'no idea about animation and film production'. Today the Walt Disney Company generates in excess of $30 Billion USD annually. An extraordinary success founded on the very dreams of a young man who refused to be frightened by failure.
So, what are the keys to prevent Failure from freezing one's dream for success.
The motivational speaker, Anthony Robbins, is fond of using the phrase 'take MASSIVE action' towards your goals and dreams. It is only through relentless ACTION that one's fear of failure can be overcome.
Imagine what it must have been like for Edison to see his 8,127th attempt at building a usable light globe go up in smoke..... again.
What would you have done?
Edison simply set off making changes to the design that produced his 8,128th attempt in the search of success. In doing so he refused to regard his constant march towards a clearly defined goal as being in any way a failure.
Decide today what it is you most want to achieve from the next 24 hours on planet earth. Make your goal realistic and achievable.
Set a course of MASSIVE ACTION to achieve that goal - and see it through to a conclusion.
Focus on what you have at your disposal to achieve your dreams - not on what you don't have.
Remember the timeless truth in the Persian Proverb of old :-
"I wept because I had no shoes - until I met a man who had no feet".
