Overcoming Your Failures

admin — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 01:11:44 +0000

So what? You’ve failed in relationships, on jobs, didn’t get the promotions that you knew you deserved, in school, and many other facets of life. Again, I say, so what? Do you realize that your failures don’t define who you really are from within? Many times failure is only a launching pad to help us move from where we are and it propels us into the place we need to be. Every failure, I believe, comes with built-in consequences that help us find our way and true position in life. I believe you are not a failure if you tried something and you didn’t succeed in it. That’s called “discovery” to me. You’ve discovered what you should and shouldn’t be doing in life. I would define failure as one who desires strongly to try something, but never tries because s/he fears s/he just might fail.

Stop Shrinking and Start Thriving

Stop Shrinking & Start Thriving

Do you try to hide in a crowd? Do you often desire to not be seen or heard and just enjoy being in the background? But what if, just what if you’re suppose to be out front, leading the masses? What if you really are a leader and not a follower? Do you realize that there are people’s destinies that are connected to you and until you fully “get in your place” their destinies will be aborted and never reached all because you failed to line up? As long as you shrink, trying hard not to make it known the greatness you possess within, even you will experience a “slow” death mentally, spiritually and emotionally. You were born to thrive and cause others to thrive in life! Nelson Mandela said, “Your playing small doesn’t serve the world. That there is nothing enlightening about shrinking so that those around you will not feel insecure.” You need to manifest and shine bright! Don’t be afraid to outshine others! Don’t shrink trying to fit in, but challenge others to rise to where you are and perform at your level.

Find and Follow Your Passions

Do you dread getting up in the morning, because you dislike your current job? Do you anxiously look for the work week to past so that you can enjoy the weekends? Well…do you realize that if you followed your passions, pursued them and chased them down, then everyday could feel like the weekend to you, simply because you were doing something that you love? I believe 100% that it is possible to do what you really love and get paid phenomenal wages while doing it! However, you must realize and believe that your gift/talent is worth pursuing and sharing with the world.

Let go of the dread.

Do whatever is necessary today to follow, walk in and live out your passions. Don’t die having never lived. For I believe true living is when we live from the inside out.
