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.

Keep’n it Real

“It is estimated that 60% of adults can’t have a 10 minute conversation without lying at least once. Within those 10 minutes, at least 3 lies were told” – UMass Amherst Researcher

People lie for a variety of reasons. There are six different reason people lie. One is to save face and avoid embarrassment . Another is to shift blame, avoid confrontation , get one’s way or to be nice to others or one’s self. Situational lying can be a debatable matter but when it comes to maintaining healthy relationships with people you care about. It’s important to be honest and transparent.

The people that get lied to the most are :

  1. Parents
  2. Friends
  3. Siblings
  4. Spouses

We all have probably lied about something to someone we’ve cared about before . The issue with lying to significant people in your life is that you’re lying to yourself. It stunts your growth to not be completely truthful in how you feel and be accountable in what you did. Majority of the time when people lie they leave with guilt or unsaid words about their true feelings. It’s okay to accountable and you’re valid in expressing your truth.

We all make mistakes and the more you own that , the more it doesn’t define you. Sharing your truth releases that heavy energy inside that’s making you feel tense throughout your day. When we own our mistakes we can understand why we made them and what the true intentions behind that action is. Lying or hiding the truth from others is doing yourself a disservice.

We probably lie more than we mean too. Lying can come from a discomfort in the relationship. You may feel as though you don’t have a safe space to tell them the truth but the truth is not for them its for you. It’s for your integrity and to been seen by the close people around you honestly.

Stepping into being honest will transform your life even if that honesty isn’t the most pleasant. It’s real and it’s coming from the heart when it’s expressed in a peaceful way. Intune it helps maintain a healthy relationship with others and it is a act of self-love.

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 .
