“There are two primary choices in life; to accept conditions as they exist, or accept the responsibility for changing them.” — Denis Waitley
Experiencing failure early in life creates a catalyst for either growth or death. There will always be challenges, obstacles and mountains to move, however failing is a part of succeeding and you can’t have one without the other.
Think of a coin.
There are two sides and you can’t have one without the other.
It’s all about present circumstances and one’s ability to compartmentalize.
Present circumstances do not count as they are always changing.
But who wants to fail?
People everywhere on the planet will do everything in their power to avoid failure. They will take shortcuts, create maneuvers and avoid obstacles at every turn.
However, this strategy ultimately derails their success. They believe that they are in the process of circumvention however that is not reality.
Rationalization comes into play and non-reality becomes reality.
Rationalization is the input of non-truths to the conscious mind. Essentially, they are lies and not truths.
Ultimately, most people give up and pack up their suitcase. They will rationalize with hundreds of excuses why they couldn’t do what they wanted to do.
When an individual realizes that failure is a definite part of success everything starts working the way it was intended. Don’t be in the status quo camp that follow the masses like a bunch of sheep, rather move forward and Godward with ideas that will begin to transform your life from the inside out.
Learn to utilize failure as a catalyst for change; proactive change that leads to massive success.
However, you must choose your present moment thoughts decisively that ultimately determine your feelings, actions and corresponding results good, bad or indifferent.
“We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves.” — Buddha
You must make a conscious effort 86,400 seconds of every single day to decide and choose what you’re going to think about.
Daily practice allows you to turn this into a habit and then you don’t even have to think about it any longer.
You just do it!
If you’re not going to choose your thinking, your autopilot and default programming will determine not only your attitude but all the results that you will ever hope to obtain in this lifetime.
You can choose exactly what you’re going to accept and what you’re not going to accept.
You remain in control but you have to seize this opportunity and act.
Determination, openness, understanding, compassion and purpose will be your mental toughness armor. Choose your thoughts. They ultimately become the unfolding picture of your life.
It’s your life.
You clearly know what to do.
