Every Failure is a Step to Success!

“34.2 million Americans experience some phobia of failure. The most common is personal failure.” This illustrates that their are 34.2 million people not living their best lives because of themselves and YOU might be one of them!

There is a constant internal struggle betweens stepping outside of your comfort zone and achieving the life you dream of and the fear that lives on the other side of that door. There is a factor of things that prohibit us from pursuing our goals. Judgement, unemployment, isolation are just a few haunting thoughts that are behind the pretty dream. Many people don’t even attempt any of their goals unless its guaranteed success because there phobia is so strong. This phobia keeps them in a constant cycle of dissatisfaction and low-self esteem but at least their comfortable right?!

Failure is all about perspective. In reality outside of your anxiety, every failure is a stepping stone to your ideal goals. Even when you discover something you dislike you’re one step closer to finding something that you do like but when we don’t attempt to discover our own personal interest we are stuck unsatisfied with our own choices. You’re always in control of the direction that you want your life to reflect. Everything you desire , the universe wants to deliver to you but you can’t be in your own way.

We have to fail to become better at our craft or our interest. Failure is not personal it is apart of success. We must learn to embrace it as that instead of allowing it to discourage us . Once we embrace a fearless attitude towards failure, will we be able to reach our fullest potential . We must allow ourselves to be students always even when we’ve become masters to fully evolve to the highest form in our crafts.

The Art of Patience

“Rome wasn’t built in a day, but they worked on it everyday .” – Unknown

Everyday we live in constant desire to want more and more and more. Living in the age of social media we are constantly comparing what we have to others. Wondering when will we get that life? When will we be that successful and happy? These lingering questions leave us disrupted in our progress. It’s becomes harder to see the big picture when it’s not in front of us. It’s a cycle of burnout , self-sabotage, & incompletion. The mentality of gratitude and patiences is a cycle of rejuvenation that promotes progression in our lives.

We all go through similar feelings. Mainly, the overwhelming illusion as if you’re running out of time or the pressure to do more than your doing because it’s not reaping the benefits quick enough. Ask yourself ,”maybe what I’m asking for isn’t meant to be fast”. Society has this myth that success happens overnight and you have to be perfect or lucky to reach it. In reality, all of your idols took time and detail to build the foundation that they have . Everything you’re doing is exactly where you’re supposed to be. Success can not come into alignment before you’re ready.

Patience is a skill not an inherent trait. It’s the base of every good habit. It brings in relaxation instead of self-sabotage. The present moment can embrace you through patience even when you run into disappointments and worry. To slow down your mind and focus on the progress you’ve made instead of what you haven’t allows you to sit back and congratulate yourself. Be proud of what you’ve done, so you can encourage yourself to go further.

Some ways to practice patience and bring peace into your life is by :

  1. Stop! Drop! and Think!
  2. Remind yourself of your accomplishments
  3. Discover where this impatient energy is coming from inside

Fighting Back with Gratitude

Success is flying right by you. Opportunity is escaping you but all are right in front of you! At times, the things we ask for into our lives are already here yet, we are so busy focusing on what we are lacking . The vision of your life and the opportunity you’re waiting around for is all possible in this present moment. When we practice gratitude on a daily basis it leads us to a peaceful and lighter reality.

There’s a lot of simply daily interaction that we take for granted almost everyday. Majority of the time its tragedy that presents gratitude to our forefront but not soon after we get caught up in the storm of GREED! Power and greed is incorporated into our minds as normal desires in this world. To constantly want more and more and hopefully one day you hope to be satisfied. You might say, ” Well when I get this job I’ll be happy or when I get this car I will be…” The list continues to build and the emotions become short lived.

The short lived emotions quickly turn into feelings of inadequacy in our lives. Our own self-critic starts to deteriorate at our self-worth creating more insufficiency. These thoughts can quickly turn into insecurities , fear, and self-doubt. All the great people, opportunities and challenges you have overcome get lost in the negative whirlwind of emotions. We must fight back with the daily reminder of all the GREAT experiences in our lives!

Practicing gratitude improves your psychological and physical well-being. Gratitude allows us to be present and magnify positive emotions in our daily experience while aligning us with our ideal life . When we show thanks for our good favor we attract more abundance into our life. The energy you release reflects on your life. A few ways to implement gratitude into your life is by:

  1. Keep a Gratitude Journal
  2. Start speaking Words of Affirmation every morning
  3. Express your love to a close friend or family member
  4. Meditate with your Gratitude List
  5. Practice Mindfullness

This mindset will allow you to go through your day feeling lighter and refreshed . Everyday is a new day and a fresh start to transforming your life. In this moment , there is something to be grateful for . Let us align with our ideal lifestyle.

Let that Sh*t Go!

” If I find here and now unacceptable, I have three choices:

  1. Accept it
  2. Change it
  3. Remove thyself from the situation

That is taking responsibility for your life. ” – Eckhart Tolle

Pain is inevitable but suffering is a choice. I know I’m probably getting a lot of bizarre stares from that comment but it’s true. That is one of Buddha most famous messages that was left behind. A lot of the time we hold other people responsible for our pain. Negative emotions such as anger, jealousy ,hate ,possessiveness, resentment, anxiety and envy are not looked at as negative emotions but are completely justified . Instead of looking at them as self-created we blame these emotions on external factors. Forgetting our own power in the process.

Our thoughts co-create our reality and there is a conscious choice to think of something as either bad or good. When you make the conscious effort to place yourself in a negative situation you’re choosing suffering. For example, if it’s cloudy day and you begin to dread the day based on the weather then you have a negative emotional response without realizing the weather has done nothing to you but exist. Your lack of acceptance is what’s creating these dreadful emotions. We have to be aware of our own thoughts and the reality that we are creating in response to them.

Instead of replaying the past in our head and constantly remembering the constant “bad” situations that happened throughout the day. You can accept that they happened. You can allow yourself to freely feel those emotions in the moment and then release them. When we are constantly trying to find a reason why someone / something happened to us we are creating inner resistance to the truth and our reality. We are replaying that scenario over and over and creating bigger turmoil internally. When we accept it as is , we can also accept the emotions that follow. You have the power to create happiness and pleasure around you through your actions and thoughts.

We must make the conscious effort to constantly choose peace in our lives. We must accept it and then make efforts to change it whether that’s mentally or physically. You are responsible for your own happiness. Make sure you’re putting yourself first even when you’re battling your own thoughts.
