Your life is the sum of all the choices you make and leave. There is nothing like a right decision or a wrong one. You need to take a decision and then make it right. Henry Ford said, “If you think you can do a thing or think you can't do a thing, you're right.”
Life isn’t about cribbing over a glass of spilled milk. It’s about saying, “Oh! I can’t have this one. Let me find another glass.” How we perceive a certain situation totally defines how we feel about that situation. When you face a challenge, you can decide to crib about it for the rest of your life or you can decide to find a way to overcome it. Whatever you decide to do will influence how much that challenge will affect you.
Life is all about facing it with the right attitude. It’s about looking at challenges in the eye and telling it, “Go find someone else as weak as you.” Winning is all about developing the right perspective. “Either the glass is half empty or the glass is half filled.” How you see it decides how you will accept it. Developing the right attitude is very important. When Thomas Edison asked about the number of failures he faced before developing the electric bulb, he simply answered, “I did not fail. I just discovered a few hundred ways it could not be done.” Imagine what would have happened if Thomas Edison had quit after the initial failures. He could only succeed because he did not quit.
Unfortunately we have all been, since yore, made to believe that winning is everything, and failure is a stigma. In fact, it has been so engraved in our belief that we have begun to believe that failure is the end of everything. The greatest victims of this belief have been our children. The recent spurge in suicides among school and college going children is the proof of how much pressure the fear of failure is exerting on our minds.
It is very important to develop the right mindset and understand that failure is just an indication of, that this is not the right way to do it. Failure should always be seen as an indicator of our progress. We need to understand that the only person who does not fail is the one who does not try. A ‘NO’ does not mean ‘NEVER’. There will be times when you will be tested to the level of quitting. You might end-up asking yourself, “Why me?” Believe me, this is the time when God is testing your perseverance. If you see through this phase, then you will sail through all other challenges. It is in such times that winners are born.
Winning isn’t about how many times you fell. It is about how many times you stood up after falling.
