Why You Shouldn’t Talk Yourself Out Of Your Dreams

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Personal Development, Personal Growth

That is what so many of us do on a daily basis. We give up before we even get a chance to try. We focus on what is impossible. We don’t focus on what we can do to make things better. We are after what we are going to do wrong, not what we are going to do right.

Remember, if you focus on failure, that is what you are going to get. If you focus on success, that is what you are going to get. And if you believe in yourself that you can make things happen, that is what you are going to get.

Because wealth is about mindset. Success is about mindset. And failure is about mindset.

Adversity builds confidence. Your confidence won’t go up if you do not try, if you just give up before you start, if you keep saying, ‘oh, I can’t do this.’ If you want to change something, you must first believe that you can change it, that it is possible.

If you want to win, you must stay in the game. You must be willing to play your own game. Whether you win or lose, it is better to play and lose than it is to stay away and still lose. Which one do you prefer?

No matter how difficult, you need to stay in your game. Do not quit. Stay in it to win it! Remember why you are doing what you are doing. If you do not know why you are playing your game, you are not going to get what you want.

To win, you must play your own game. Playing other people’s games is only going to create stress.

Difficult or not, don’t talk yourself out of your dreams. If you are not winning, then you need to change how you play your game. If you do not change how you play your game, you will get the same results.

You Can Turn Failure Around. Here Is How

‘Many of our failures sweep us to greater heights of success, than we ever hoped for in our wildest dreams. Life is a successive unfolding of success from failure.’– William George Jordan, The Secrets of Success

To win in life, you must embrace failure. To succeed, to get better at what you are doing, you must make failure your best friend.

You see what is already within you. You don’t see what you do not want to see. If you want to turn failure around, if you want to get better, according to Tom Oliver, ‘Your viewpoint changes everything. Most apparent tragedies are actually blessings in disguise, gift packages that you have to unwrap.’

When you fail at something, it means you are really working hard to know more, to challenge yourself, to get better. But if you are not failing, if you are not falling, it means you are not doing enough to change your life.

Don’t see failure as a crime. It is not. It is a blessing in disguise. If you can focus on learning from your failure, nothing can stop you from achieving your dreams.

‘Every seeming tragedy or failure will contain in it the seeds of a great victory and success.’ When you fail at something, don’t blame yourself. Believe in yourself. Believe that you can do it again. And go to work.

‘If you focus obsessively on opportunities, you can turn any seeming failure around.’ If you want success in your life, focus matters. Failure is not a crime. Not learning from failure is.
