3 Things To Do When You Fail

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Personal Development, Personal Growth

Who is perfect? Are you? If no one is perfect, then we can’t avoid mistakes. We can’t avoid failures.

Failures are lessons. They are not roadblocks. If you pay attention to what you are doing, why you are not getting it right, you can learn a lot from failure.

‘Don’t play the blame-and-shame game- just prove your critics wrong.’

George Beahm

Do not let failure stop you from doing what you love to do. To move forward, you must take risks.

You must, according to George Beahm, ‘Reinvent yourself.’ If what you are doing is not working, do not stop there. Do not stop there. Find something else and do it. Do not stop living your life. Do not limit yourself to just one thing. No, you can do a lot more than you think you can do. Why not give it a shot?

‘Learn from your mistakes, and constantly work to improve your life.’

George Beahm

When you fail at something, it does not matter what it is, according to George Beahm, ‘Don’t play the blame-and-shame game- just prove your critics wrong.’ You do that by working harder than you have ever done in the past. Do not do it to shame others. Do it to improve yourself. Because you are responsible for your life. You are responsible for your failures. When you fail, instead of blaming other people, take full responsibility for your life.

And when you fail, all you need to do is to step up your game. Do what George says. ‘Do great work.’ When you ‘do great work’, great things will come to you. And you will ‘start living’ your real life.

How To Handle A Challenging Situation

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Personal Development, Personal Growth

How you react to what is going on in your life is yours. But just know that you can’t control everything. No one can, no matter how smart, successful.

We can’t control everything. We can’t control what is happening around us. But we can control who we are. We can control what we say. We can control what we do. And we can control what we do next.

Is that all? No, it is not all. When you are faced with a challenging situation, the first thing to do is to stay calm. Do not freak out. Because freaking out is not going to help you. It is going to make you even more confused.

The second thing you can do is to know what is going on, why is it happening? Do not ask, ‘Why is it happening to me?’ When you know what is going on, you can deal with it. You can manage it.

You can change what you are saying about what you are doing, or what you are saying about where you are. For example, if your boss is not a good boss, if your manager is a joke, you can say something like, ‘They are just different. I need time to understand who they are.’

When you change what you say about your situation, you will start to create a new life for yourself.

Your life will start to take a whole new shape. Because words are powerful. Words are powerful. They can make you a champion. And they can also create a loser out of you. It is up to you.

If you want to experience a positive life, stop using negative words to describe yourself. If you want to experience a positive life, start using positive words to tell your own story.

When you are faced with challenging things, don’t ask yourself, ‘Why me?’ Instead, ask yourself, ‘Why not me?’

Why not you?
