And so you took a chance on something and failed. You are now a master analyst who think that mistakes must be avoided at all costs. You have decided to be a safe player following the path of least resistance. You have limited yourself to dreaming only small dreams because that's probably the only way you feel confident that you can achieve them. Ironically, you still do not achieve the small dreams. Why? I do not know. Well, maybe it is because you know that if you achieve them, you would probably have nothing else to live for. So you would rather play and live small than face the risk and thrill of living large.
Mistakes are priceless opportunities to learn essential lessons. In the stead of finding out why you failed, you conclude that it wasn't your thing. You hear stories about people who succeeded in it and you call them lucky. You regale anyone who cared to listen with stories of how motivated and enthusiastic you were about life and how you were going to conquer the world if not that......
Winners are people who passed through same circumstance but never allowed the losses along their journey to keep them down. They kept going, evaluating their experiences, studying to become better at their craft and they eventually won.
We all have lucky things happening to us 24/7 but we are too close minded to see it simply because we failed before. We shrink from life and die at 30 while awaiting burial at 80. We have gone from grownups to "given-ups".
Be a winner!
