We all have experienced terrible loses in life. It is a part of our lives. If you haven’t experienced one, it is either you are not trying hard enough, or you are just playing it too safe.

When you are planning or cultivating your path to success, don’t just focus on the good side of it, you should also plan on how you are going to deal with adversity, obstacles, and frustrations. You are going to experience lots of them. They are there waiting for you to come. If you want success badly, you will go. It is not what happened to you that matters now. It is what you do with it after you have experienced it that matters. Are you going to quit, or are you going to stick with it until you succeed?

“When you are planning or cultivating your path to success, don’t just focus on the good side of it, you should also plan on how you are going to deal with adversity, obstacles, and frustrations.”

Success and failure are on the same street. You cannot separate them. If you want to succeed, you must be ready to fail. It is after you have failed, then you learn how to succeed. First failure is not failure, it is experimenting time. If you fail the first time, don’t quit. Stick with it, learn it, and start again. People fail because they take the first misstep as the final failure. Don’t do that. It is not your last chance. It is your first chance. It is not your last shot at success. Try again. People fail because they can’t move past the first misstep.

If you want to succeed, you must be ready and willing to move past the first misstep. If you do, you will succeed.

Focus On What Matters

Focus on what matters. Many people are not successful because they spend their time focusing on what is not important. They spend their time focusing on what will not move them from where they are to where they want to be. What a waste of time!

When you focus on what you want, and not what others want, your vision will be clearer to you. Your vision is where you are going. You can only get to where you are going by focusing on what you are doing now, where you are now, and who you are now.

If you want to be successful in life, in your career, you need to focus on what you are doing and where you are going to. Don’t let people talk you out of your dreams. Don’t let people dilute your dreams. Don’t let people mess up your goals.

If you focus, success will come to you. If you are not focused, it will be difficult to achieve success, because you don’t know what you want.

“Focused people don’t give up, they persevere.”

To check if you are still pursuing your dreams, always ask yourself, “Am I moving toward my goal?” If you are not moving towards your goal, it is time to re-evaluate yourself and your actions.

Find out what you are good at and pursue it with all your resources- financial, talent, social, and psychological resources. No matter how hard, no matter how difficult your goals might be, stick with it. Do not give up. It is not going to be easy, and it will never be easy. Embrace failure, because failure is going to be a major part of the journey to success. Don’t procrastinate. Whatever you are doing, finish it today, not tomorrow.

Focused people don’t give up, they persevere.
