You Only Fail If You Quit - Here's Why

     Failure does not always determine whether or not an outcome is successful.  If we fail to reach a goal, it does not mean the fight is over.  We only fail if we choose to give up.  In most cases, it is not about the destination but the journey.  Throughout the journey, we learn and experience.  We retain the knowledge gained despite the outcome.  This, in my opinion, is a success in and of itself because it can lead to other successful ventures.
     Quitting is what determines true failure.  Change is how we prosper in life.  By quitting, we are avoiding change that could potentially lead to success.  We neither learn from our mistakes nor experience new things.  More so, we become accustomed to the idea that quitting is okay.  This, in turn, can create difficulties later in life as you will continuously give up.
     Success in life is not measured by the amount of wins a person has.  A person's success is determined by their willingness to try new things.  It is also determined by the ability to be pushed down, get back up and push back.  If we do this regularly, we will not feel as much regret later in life.  We do not truly regret our failures, we regret what we did not attempt.
     We can accomplish anything we set our minds to but it can take time.  This also means you could fail before making progress.  Never believe that a failed attempt means success is unobtainable.  Every failure teaches us to approach a situation differently in order to succeed.  As long as you never quit, anything which slows progression is an obstacle that can be overcome.

Five Important Life Lessons to Live By

     Today, I thought I would do something a little different.  Instead of discussing one topic, I thought I would share some life lessons based on my experience.  These nuggets of wisdom have helped me progress through life with an open, confident, and positive attitude.  I hope you benefit from them as much as I have.  Here are five important lessons to live by. 1. Speak up for Yourself      Far too many live in silence due to the fear of conflicting ideologies.  Because of this, they end up putting themselves second to other people, agreeing with them, and/or allowing themselves to be pushed around.  People can and will take advantage, and it is saddening to know there are people who allow this to happen.  Everyone deserves to be heard.  Do not be afraid to defend yourself or your opinions when need be just because it conflicts with another person.  They are not better than you nor are their beliefs.  ...

Finding Your Creativity - 5 Methods

     Creativity is an invaluable resource and the backbone to human progression.   Every advancement made throughout human history was the result of someone’s creative and intellectual mind.   Planes, trains, and automobiles are great examples.   However, creativity is not used solely for the progression of mankind.   Creativity can also be used in an individual’s everyday life to make life easier and more enjoyable.   People use their creativity to solve problems, make their daily routine more efficient and less time consuming, as well as for entertainment purposes.   If you have ever made up a story in your head while bored you know what I am talking about, or if you played with action figures, inanimate objects, or roleplaying games.      As kids, we seem to have a limitless supply of creativity.   Much of that has to do with our curiosity, innocence, and lack of responsibility.   However, some ‘grow up’ a...

Three Effective Ways to Maintain Self Control When Provoked or Agitated

     Despite what people might think in the moment, getting angry at someone you dislike, being violent, or showing hostility does more harm than good.  We've all been there, a situation where we become so angry or annoyed that we just want to lash out.  Subconsciously we think, "this is the right thing to do," and our anger takes over.  I want you to remember a time this has happened and how it panned out.  I am sure there are instances where it is justifiable to lash out, but more often than not people regret their actions almost immediately.  We are left feeling foolish and our reputation takes a hit, the severity being dependent on the situation and the size of the blowup.  Due to the consequences, people tell themselves they will be more aware and prevent similar occurrences from happening again.  Unfortunately, not everybody learns from their mistakes.  We forget our past actions far too quickly and often repeat mistakes....
