Give Yourself Permission

Permission to Fail that is!

In order to make better decisions, we have to give ourselves
permission to fail. We have to make failure okay to experience.

I know that I'll make new mistakes in the future. But I don't
beat myself up when I make a bad decision. I forgive myself in
advance. I know that I can't predict every outcome, and I know
that I'm not perfectly aligned with the character qualities of
the man I wish to be. I accept that. It's okay. It's a good thing
really because it means I can continue learning and growing.

Failure isn't the end of the world. Every failure is a learning
experience. Failure is simply the underbelly of success.
If you don't risk failure again and again, you'll never enjoy
true success. Fake success is when you seek validation in your
titles, positions, and possessions. True success is when you can
gaze into a mirror and feel totally loved and accepted by the
conscious being looking back at you.

Falling Isn't Failing

Many of people have tried
repeatedly to break a habit
of some sort, including myself.
Only to fail repeatedly.

I've learned and you should
know that falling isn't failing
unless you fail to get up and try again.

Most people who finally win the battle over what they wanted
to change, did so only after many failures, over and over.

Breaking a habit that has been around for a long time may
seem like the end of the road at times. But the joy you'll get from
dropping the old and applying the new habit will seem to open
up a whole new world of peace and enjoyment.

If you've tried to start anew by breaking an old habit, and find
yourself failing. Just remember falling is not failing, unless you
fail to get up and get it going again.

The One Thing Winners Never Do

We all face crises at some time or another in our lives.
In fact a huge portion of the world's population may be
experiencing a crisis at this very moment. By the way,
if you are feeling like you have come to the end of your rope,
I want to encourage you to hang in there. There's one thing
that winners never do and that is think about quitting.

You are a winner! No one is immuned from the mounting
pressures of this world. So don't let them overwhelm you or
cloud your thinking. Whatever you do, never let your faith
grow faint.

I'm sure you have felt in certain cases and situations that you
have done everything humanly possible, yet you still got little
or no results. I can tell you, that in moments like those human
effort isn't enough. You must reach out for Divine help. That
means to call upon a power higher than yourself to assist you in
reaching greater levels. It could also mean seeking assistance for
an education in your chosen field to reach a new level of success.

I'm a part of a mastermind group that guide others to the help needed
by means of a free ebook. Oftentimes, when we talk with them they
usually confess that they were seriously praying for help when they
came across the ebook.

It's our human nature to want to give up or give in when times get
tough, but don't you do it, because you are a winner. And the one
thing a winner never does is think about quitting. Just like the many
people that found assistance in their time of need, had they given up
too soon they would have missed a very important blessing.

The victory will come if you will stand strong, keep the faith and be
patient that your prayers will be answered. The Biblical quote says
to come boldly to the throne of grace that we may obtain mercy and
find grace to help us in our time of need. (Hebrews 4:16) We are
also told several times to faint not. Meaning don't give up because
winners never think about quitting.

Need assistance in making YOUR dreams a reality? There's a better way.

The Most Common Traits of Success

There is a process to being a person of a
success personality just as there's a process
for failure. Have you ever heard the saying
success breeds success? That means certain
steps must be taken before any desirable goal
can be attain in becoming a person that
exhibits a success personality.

The first trait is having a sense of direction. One must be a goal
setter. In other words you must know exactly what it is you want
and know where you are going. The goal should be something
worthwhile with a strong purpose in order to reach the goal.

Next, is understanding. A significant line of communication is
critical for the understanding of anything. Always be willing to see
the truth by weighing the facts verses the opinions.

Once the goal is set and you have a clear understanding of
situations, for then you must have courage enough to take action.
Acting is the only way to getting you closer to making your goals and
desires a reality.

Charity is another trait that successful personalities possess. They
have interest and regard for other people. Success is having dignity
to respect others and treat them as real human beings instead of a
number.

One must have enough belief in himself before he can master this
next trait. A belief that anything is possible for himself before he
can have esteem for another. Esteem is loving oneself, and seeing
yourself as a worthy and undefeated person.

All confidence is built upon experiences of small successes. If one will
make it a habit to remembering past successes instead of past
failures, this is when strong self-confidence is developed.

Finally, there has to be self-acceptance. You must know that you are
NOT your mistakes. There can't be genuine happiness until a person
have some measure of self-acceptance.

When each of these seven traits are in operation, a person has
learned to accept themselves, which allows them to BE themselves.
This is when a powerful success type personality is created.

Common Warning Signs Of Failure

I'm a great student of personal
development. During my study,
I've come across many reasons
why people fail in their quest for success.



What's so amazing is these are
signs that are so common, one
wouldn't give them a second thought
to being connected to a failure mechanism.

Here's what I came up with. How many can you relate to?

Frustration-an emotional feeling of hopelessness. This usually
comes from setting goals that are too unrealistic.

Aggressiveness-an excessive and misdirected behavior.
Aggressiveness is good for achieving goals until one becomes
frustrated, then it becomes a destructive force.

Insecurity-these are feelings and beliefs based on false
measurements of not being good enough.

Loneliness-a chronic feeling of being cut-off from other people,
but mainly from your true self. When you don't know your real self,
contact with other human beings are not very satisfying.

Uncertainty-a way of avoiding making mistakes. It's based on the
concept “if I make No decision then nothing can go wrong”.

Resentment-blaming society for ones own failures. Always using
excuses for not moving forward and resenting others happiness
and successes.

Emptiness-may display outward symbols of success but the inner
treasure is empty. It soon becomes a justification for not living
creatively.

If you find yourself experiencing these negative emotions quite often,
you might want to take immediate action to correct them.
These are sure warning signs that you may be headed for failure.

A great mentor of mine is an exceptional teacher of
personal development, and get this, he does it all for free!

Wishing you great success,
