REFUSE TO FAIL & SUCCESS IS YOUR ONLY OPTION

We have all heard versions of “it is better to try and fail than to never try at all” but have you ever stopped to actually think this through? The question I ask you is when is failure actually failure?

Failure is only definite when you die, otherwise there is always time to recover, re-try and succeed. You only fail when you give in on the dream or idea that you were trying to achieve.  When you continue trying new ways to achieve the result you desire then it is impossible to fail. The Wright Brothers are credited with having achieved the first human flight in 1903, however I would suggest that this was NOT the first time they had attempted to fly. I am sure they tried over and over many times before they achieved SUCCESS.

Similarly Thomas Edison invented the light bulb, the motion picture camera and many other amazing items but I am sure that there were probably far more “failures” than Successes in his career as an inventor. I would suggest that if you were to add up Successful inventions they would be less than his number of failures. Why don’t we call him a failure then? It is because he did not give up and therefore achieved Success through many of his endeavours and left a great positive mark on the world.

Failure is a matter of perspective. The Wright Brothers failed many times before they succeeded and made the first flight of man. Thomas Edison failed with many of his attempted inventions but we consider these men to all be very successful

Ask yourself how often do you “GIVE UP” on your dreams or what you want to achieve at the first hurdle and therefore accept failure?

Very rarely do we find success and perfection the first time we try something new. One of my favourite observations is that if babies were to give up the first time they tried to walk and fell down there would be a lot of people crawling to work or to the shops to get groceries. We don’t often see grown people crawling around because we are all born with tenacity and drive to succeed that helps us walk, it is only later in life that we begin to learn to give up on ourselves and our dreams.

SUCCESS IS GUARANTEED IF YOU REFUSE TO FAIL.

Keep trying and you can’t help but succeed. It may take more time than you thought but it will happen. It may not come in the way you thought but it will happen.

I know in my own life time and time again I try new things and push my comfort zone to achieve something I have never tried before and more often than not I “fail” the first time and sometimes the second, third etc etc. I always used to give up on myself and my dreams when I was younger until I realised that by giving up when things got difficult meant giving up on myself and I am not OK with that anymore.

You may have heard us say before that if it was ‘easy’ everyone would be doing it and I totally support this statement. If everything in life was really easy then we would all be living our dreams not worrying about anything and cruising along in perfect relationships with an abundance of money, happiness and confidence with not a care or fear in the world. How many people do you know who live like this?

The  truth is the great majority of people live mediocre unfulfilling lives because they are too scared to even try and achieve all the amazing things they would like to for fear of FAILING.

WHEN YOU REFUSE TO FAIL THEN SUCCESS IS YOUR ONLY OPTION.
