Jack Canfield, Quotes 101
For Every reason it’s not possible
Failure is never alone. It is often accompanied with reasons as to why we failed. This article tries to go beyond the defensive arguments about failure.
When you failed at something, it just means that you did not get the desired result. That’s the end of this failure, it is not a statement about your capabilities nor your talent. This discussion is beyond the blame game which finds its own way to accompany failure.
You can give a list of reasons why you failed. Before starting, it is worthwhile to ask these questions
- Who are these reasons for?
- What do they accomplish?
- How do they help me to reach my goal?
Reasons for failure are always available. They may be legitimate, but it doesn’t really matter. You are disappointed and sad, why not use this feeling to your advantage?
The examples in front of us
I believe we are very fortunate because we have so many examples in front of us. There is no dearth of heroes in this world!
This also means that no matter what you plan to achieve, you will find no dearth of inspiration. Our inspirational quotes segment aims at bringing this aspect of motivation to you. Regardless, you will not fall short of motivation!
There is a common trap which many fall into – comparing yourself to the heroes. This is accompanied with rationalisation about why you cannot achieve your goal. “My hero had X,Y,Z opportunities and I don’t have the same!”
Yes, there will always be a disparity. We are not trying to justify failure through this process. Our aim is to be smart about using the motivation to reach our goals. We can find thousands of reasons to justify why we cannot reach something. Will that alone satisfy you?
What makes you happier? – Achieving the goal or justifying why you cannot do something?
