Everyone holds his future in his own hands, like a sculptor the raw material he will fashion into a figure. But it’s the same with that type of artistic activation as with all others: We are merely born with the capability to do it. The skill to mold the material into what we want must be learned and attentively cultivated. — Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Here’s What Would be Pitiful…
The true benefit of any goal, is not successfully accomplishing it (although it’s a very close second), but who you must become to achieve your desired goal. If you set a goal to become a millionaire and you legitimately achieve it, then you could lose that million dollars, but still possess the knowledge and experience to make it happen again. Make a commitment to work harder on yourself than you do on your job or business.
“Here’s what would be pitiful…if your income grew and you didn’t.” ~ Jim Rohn
The Successful Person Will Profit from Their Mistakes
First off, allow yourself to make mistakes. This one is tough for me since I’m such a perfectionist, but mistakes are part of the process of achieving success. Give yourself space to fail small and fail often. Second, use your temporarily failures as lessons and stepping stones towards your desired goal. Take the knowledge you’ve gained from past mistakes and invest that into making better future decisions and actions. Make the most from your “wealth of experience” which includes your successes and failures.
“The successful man will profit from his mistakes and try again in a different way.” ~ Dale Carnegie
I Don’t Just Dream of Success…
Dreaming about your definite goal is important, however, something more is necessary…behind your clear vision must be the action to realize your dreams. It’s up to you to get up and make it happen!
We’re All Self Made, But Only the Successful Will Admit It
You’re the captain of your own ship, so you have the power to set the direction towards your desired destination. Otherwise, you can drift along aimlessly or let others take control of the wheel. Ultimately, the success or failure you experience is your responsibility. Take control and steady your sails through the sudden storms and towards the sunny shores of success!
