SURVIVE SUCCESS SUCCEED FAILURE
Each word has the same number of letters.
Each one of us has lived through each of these words and circumstances on one level or another. It is up to us to decide how much time, thought and living we will give to each one.
I have learned from watching people whom I view as successful, those who are famous and those who are not. There are several common threads that never ever EVER change.
1. They have a very specific goal.
2. They have a detailed plan.
3. They add to their knowledge base regularly.
4. They make mistakes.
5. They fail.
6. They examine why and how they failed.
7. They get up and keep moving.
8. They learn from their failure and change it from a failure to part of their learning experience on their way to success.
9. They stay focused on their goal.
10. They never give up.
There are many supportive phases, steps, sources of information to expand each of these and over the next 10 days, to the best of my ability I will complete each one. Be encouraged. Not only because it is a new year, but it is a new day, a new hour, a new chance to continue from where you are and move closer to where you want to be. I know firsthand about failure, and I can sit down with you anytime you want, and show you how I failed, why I failed, what I learned and what I have done to turn it into success. There is still a whole lot of work for me to do on myself, but I am doing better. Baby steps forward are still forward steps.
Love yourself more this year. Love yourself more and allow yourself to grow. I don’t want to be better than you. That is impossible. I don’t want you to be better than me. That is impossible. But we can both be better today than we were yesterday. That is my hope for you. That 8is my wish for you. In 2010 and always.
