Difficult Times

Difficult times are not difficult times, they are learning times. They are growing times. It is the time we look inside for answers to our problems.

Difficult times are not here to destroy us. They are part of who we are; they make us stronger than ever. If you handle difficult times well, you will never be the same again. Many of us are terrible at managing difficult times. Instead of putting our heads together to find solutions to what we are going through, we make it even more difficult for ourselves. We stop eating. We stop meeting friends. We stop talking to people. We stop listening to ourselves. We stop sleeping. We turn to drugs and alcohol (not everybody), we stop reading. We stop doing the basics that make life interesting.

Difficult times are builders, not destroyers. They are your builders if you handle them well, if you manage them well. On the other hand, difficult times are your destroyers if you manage them poorly.

To manage difficult times well, you must first understand what you are dealing with. The more you understand what you are dealing with, the better it is for you to deal with. It is all about understanding. If you want to know something better, try to understand it.

Before you freak out, try to understand what you are going through.

Failure Is A Learning Experience

Failure is what you think it is. You cannot be successful without first embracing failure. You cannot be successful without understanding what failure really means.

The difference between successful people and unsuccessful people is how they think about about failure.

What does failure mean to you?

Whether you like to fail or not, failure is a great master. It is part of who we are. Failure has something to teach you. Open your mind to receive the gift of failure. People fail not because they are not smart enough, but because they fail to embrace failure. They fail to accept failure as part of life.

Failure is not the end of life, it is the beginning of life.”

If you want to be successful in life, don’t be afraid to fail. Embrace failure, learn from it, and make your next move. When you fall down, you are not a failure. When you fall down and you stayed there, then you are a failure. I hope you are not.

“Failure is not the issue, the issue is how you receive failure.”

When you fail, be happy. I know this is hard to take in, but it is true. No matter what, don’t let failure stop you from moving forward. Failure is not the issue, the issue is how you receive failure. You will fail at something. We have all failed at something, and we will continue to fail. That is failing forward.

Failure is not the end of life, it is the beginning of life. It gives you time to prepare and launch again. This time you are a different person pursuing the same goal. Don’t let failure stops you. It is a learning experience. Learn from it!
