Determination

Observing children in the playground can be a very interesting experience and a lesson for us adults. Their climbing attempts, swinging higher and higher, and multiple falls from the climbing wall prove that children have amazing perseverance in pursuing their #goals. They do not give up, nor are they discouraged by #failures. They are strong and determined. It is inscribed in a child's nature, and if it is in a child's nature, also in ours. This determination fades somewhere in the course of life.

How often do we plan some changes in our lives and try to create a way to #achieve the goal - what would it be? For example, we want to start with our own law office, learn a foreign language, which can help expand the #business, or take an example from everyday life - we want to lose weight. But what are we doing to achieve these goals? We often do nothing. We are waiting for "something" to change. "We are waiting for Monday, for the New Year, or economic changes ... We think: "It would be great to have my law office, but on the other hand, do I need this, too many complications along the way? ". We wait and stand still while the world is moving forward. Even if we decide to act, we give up and spread our hands at the first obstacle that appears. We say to ourselves "It didn't work out again." We fall into a bad mood, frustration arises.

I ask uncommonly - do you know that the best thing you can teach your children (and yourself) is to teach them to learn from failure? The most spectacular successes in this world were created by people who treated failure as a component of success. They did not see the "end" in it, but they saw an opportunity, a necessary piece of the puzzle.

Thomas Edison used to say that he wouldn't have succeeded if he hadn't tried something that didn't work because it was the only way to get to the point where he finally succeeded.

Charles Kettering used to say that any failure is a "test shot".

Analyzing these two personalities, one can say that one of their ineffective features was creativity, determination, and enormous self-confidence, which were not disturbed even in the face of failures, or unsuccessful attempts. They - like children who are learning to walk - knew that each new attempt brought them closer to their goal, that it was all a matter of time. Of course, none of us wants to experience failures in our lives, but they are inevitable and it is only up to us how we treat them, what lessons we learn from them.

Regardless of what is your current goal, whether it is acquiring something, learning something new, or improving in some specific area, the best you can do for yourself is learn that you can turn a failed experience into a springboard that will allow You to stand out straight to success!
