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.

     Do you need a reminder of what is important in life?  How about the proper way to handle a situation when feeling angry or stressed?  If so, you have come to the right place.  If you know these bits of information already, just remember its important to be reminded every now and again.  So, without further adieu, here are three life-long lessons to remember #2. 1. Money Isn’t Everything      Wouldn’t it be nice if tomorrow, you won the lottery?   The sheer joy you’d feel would probably be something you’ve never experienced before.   What would you do with the money: buy a house, go on an exotic vacation, quit your job?   When this type of pleasure flows over you, the possibilities feel endless.   No matter what you do, being financially free would make you happy, at least for a while.   Eventually, you would want something more than just financial freedom.   Having money is great, but what ...

The Meaning of Thanksgiving - a Few Words to Remember

     Tonight's blog will be shorter than usual due to Thanksgiving, but I still wanted to leave you guys with a few things to remember.  Thanksgiving, or any holiday for that matter, is about family, friends, and making memories, wouldn't you agree?  Personally, I love being able to see my extended family, even if it's for a short while.  The holiday season is, to some, the only time they are able to get together with family and enjoy their company.  Sometimes we need to be reminded of this, so we remember to enjoy the time spent together.  Even if you do not get along with some of your family members, times like these are perfect for making amends if possible.  Do you have any memories like this?  If so, I would love to hear them in the comments.  Overall, remember that Thanksgiving is more than just about eating but sharing a moment with those you love.  Happy Thanksgiving everybody and I hope your day is filled with food, fa...

How Communication Can Repair & Strengthen Relationships

      Communication is the key to success in all aspects of life.  We often assume people know how we are feeling, but this is not the case.  Nobody truly understands how you are feeling unless you tell them.  To quote Eleanor Roosevelt, “You wouldn’t worry so much about what others think of you if you realize how seldom they do.”  The Importance of Communication      Without communication, we tend to overthink, overreact, and become emotional.   We lack answers so we make them up in our heads.   Small problems become big problems real quick, and we may lash out at the other person.   If you don’t know what’s going on in the other person’s head, how can you expect to understand their way of thinking?        When we communicate, we learn from the other person’s perspective.   Instead of using our own perception to justify something, we learn the real reason behind someone’s actions, ...
