Dear lovely people,
Welcome to the mighty 2015. One fact is crystal
clear, 2014 is gone for good. For some people, it was a year of bliss, for
others, it was nothing but bad, rough and not to be remembered. I had my ups
and downs in 2014 too just like anybody else but out of the good and bad of
2014, I distilled 12 lessons learned to share with you within the next few days
as we all face 2015 positively.
Lesson
I: Stop avoiding failure
Failure is a given in life; expecting to sail
through without a glitch is unrealistic and sets you up to fall harder when
failure does happen. Avoiding failure also prevents you from focusing on
gaining the resiliency needed to cope with it, a vital element of bouncing
back. Moreover, it is unfortunate that in societies obsessed with success and
achievement, failure can be made to feel like the worst thing that could ever
happen to a person.
The reality is that failure is commonplace but so is
overcoming it and pushing through to more successful endeavors in the future.
Even where a failure cannot be salvaged, there is always something to be
learned from it. Staying focused on what matters to you if a first step to
growing through it. When you don't let the mishaps of life keep you down too
long, then nobody else will be able to keep you down too long either.
“Failure is often necessary for real learning to
occur. If you didn’t get the results you want, learn from the experience so
that you reference how to make better decisions the next time around. Too many
people want to avoid any hint of a problem. But overcoming obstacles is what
gives us psychological strength—it’s the very thing that forms character.” Says
Tony Robbins
That is why you need to make a decision, as we will see in the next post …
