Change Your Definition of the Word Failure

one-important-key-to-succcess1

The word failure has been used to define the lack of success. The lack of success, is often associated to a person’s definition of success. For instance, Thomas Edison experienced many failures, before he finally experienced his break through, which led to the creation of the light bulb.  Had he not pressed through his adversities, he would have missed his moment, and his place in history.  Thus, failure, was a major contributor to his success. When you read about many famous individuals, you will find their stories have one common theme.  This theme involves starting over many times before finally achieving success.

In order to move forward in your journey, you must examine your setbacks and look for possibilities.  The setbacks you may have experienced, are only  opportunities to start over and achieve something great.  Failure is not fatal nor final, it provides a doorway to an opportunity that was previously, unseen.  Are you ready to start over and use your failures to create your success?

Give yourself a mental makeover.

A friend of my defended her dissertation. After presenting her study to the committee, her chair walked out the room, and congratulated her.  As I sat through the process, I begin to think about the mental makeover; she experienced in order to complete the process. As individuals, we often focus on our flaws, by allows the flaws to keep us from moving forward into our purpose. We use phrases such as: I cannot, I am not qualified, and I lack education. This type of negative thinking limits our potential.
We must train our minds and use positive words. Instead of saying I cannot, we must tell ourselves I can. Instead of I will not, we must say I will. Our mental outlook affects our attitudes, regarding our success.  Therefore, I challenge everyone to give yourself a mental makeover by removing negativity and replacing it with positive reinforcements. We are essentially, what we eat. Therefore, push back the negative plate and eat something positive.

Obstacles are challenges, you can turn into a success story.

Today, I was headed back home from my anniversary celebration.  I was focused on the week ahead.  I realized I had many obstacles to overcome.   However, it dawned on me,that these were just challenges and after they were solved, opportunities.

In life, we encounter many obstacles that are really challenges.  These challenges test our faith, will power, and determination.   The difference between me, you and the next person, is the will to succeed.  Therefore,as you think about your obstacles, view them as opportunities for success.   Overcoming the obstacles, can lead to a new promotion, new book, new venture, or possibly a new job.   The success for failure lies in your ability to push forward.

Ask yourself, are you ready to succeed?
