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.

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, ...

Life Advice Blog #21 - Relaxation

     Relaxation is just as important as working hard.  People tend to work themselves to the bone in order to achieve their goals.  Everyone needs to do this once in a while.  However, constantly working this way can lead to fatigue, ultimately leading to the person giving up on what they set out to do.  This is why there has to be a balance between hard work and relaxation.  Working hard all of the time will lead to failure due to fatigue.  Constantly relaxing leads to laziness, meaning nothing will be accomplished.  By balancing hard work and relaxation, a person is able to accomplish their goals while also maintaining the motivation to do so.      Nobody should think that relaxing is a waist of time.  Relaxing is the best way to regain the strength and motivation to work hard.  Without relaxation, success would be much more difficult to obtain, because people would lose the motivation to push forward....

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...
