“If I made a mistake then I apologize. I am happy I’m not
going to jail because of that”
--Jose
Mourinho
“What if I made a mistake?”
“What if I didn’t get it right?”
“What if the deal didn’t go through?”
This is what I always hear people say whenever I am
teaching on Goals Achievement.
My reply to them is always the same: “MISTAKE IS NO BIG
DEAL”.
The fear of failure and making mistakes has hindered
millions of people from achieving their goals, dreams and visions.
People whose ideas would have transformed our world for
better and add value to people’s lives have allowed themselves to fall victim
of this great virus called ‘fear of the unknown’.
Success in every area of life is reserved for only the
courageous and those who are willing to dare.
Quitters never win; winners never win.
Success is a
journey, and not a one –time reward system.
On the road to
success, you will definitely encounter many mistakes.
Does ‘mistake’ really worth the fear?
Fear of failure can never stop a man who has a success
attitude.
People became victim because of their ignorance or wrong
perspective about failure.
Perfectionism is the mother of inaction.
If you fail to try because you don’t want to fail, you
will fail to succeed because you don’t want to try. Very simple logic!
Until you change your mentality about mistakes and
failures, you will never actualize your dreams, visions and goals in life.
In the school of success, Mistake is the best teacher.
Failure and mistake should never cause you to give up on
your pursuit of success.
Never accept defeat. Never talk failure.
Learn to develop a positive approach, attitude and
response towards mistakes and failures.
Knowledge is only power when it is act upon.
You must make room for mistakes if you want to succeed in
life.
You must develop a teachable and humble spirit if you
want to get the hidden blessings in the mistakes of life.
Do not get me wrong, I do not encourage people to go out
to fail or make mistake. I love success. I hate to fail. I always want to get
it right. This is my life. This is my attitude.
BUT…I have learned to forgive myself quickly whenever I
make mistake. I have learn not to mourn over my mistakes, but to move on and
try again.
There is hope for the living dog than the dead lion.
It does matter how many times you have failed or how
terrible and foolish the mistake was, You can always TRY AGAIN.
You can’t go to jail because of mistake. MISTAKE IS NO
BIG DEAL; SUCCESS IS.
This is the simple truth: If you must increase your
chances of succeeding in life and achieving your goals, you must double your
rate of failure.
People should seek wisdom, knowledge and understanding in
other to avoid silly mistakes that will cause them their lives or lead them to
eternal doom.
My take here is that, PEOPLE SHOULD ACT UPON THE
KNOWLEDGE THEY HAVE ACQUIRED.
The epidemic of this world is not ignorance people, but
people who have abused knowledge and learning by refusing to take action on the
information they have gathered.
This is worst then HIV, CANCER, and even death!
Also; we must try
as much as we can to learn from other people’s mistakes. This is Wisdom.
But, even in this, you will also encounter your own
mistakes and learn from your own experience. This is inevitable and it is part
of life.
Don’t blame others for your failure. Don’t blame
yourself. Don’t accept people’s wrong opinion and criticism concerning your
abilities or skills. Always think positive. See yourself as a GOAL ACHIEVER
even if you have failed a thousand times.
THE GREATEST MISTAKE IN LIFE IS TO GIVE UP ON YOUR DREAMS
AND VISIONS BECAUSE OF FEAR OF FAILURE AND MISTAKES.
DESIRE AND DETERMINATION WILL TAKE YOU TO YOUR
DESTINATION.
YOU TOO CAN SUCCEED. YOU CAN BECOME A GOAL ACHIEVER
DEVELOP A SUCCESS ATTITUDE TODAY.
