Post #24: Are You Successful?
Are you successful?
Most people who are asked that say “yes I am!” Do they? To understand this you must first understand that to be successful, you need to know what it means to NOT be successful. And the only way to understand what it means to NOT be successful is it to understand the opposite of it.
One of my favorite quotes is “The Sweet Is Only Sweet After You Get A Taste Of The Sour”. You can replace “sweet” and “sour” with just about any two opposite words. Hot and Cold. Light and Dark. Cooked and Raw. Get it?
So, all that being said, the only way you can actually know if you are successful is to know the opposite, which is failure.
Have you ever thought about what some of the most successful people have in common? They are usually people that have the most amount of failures as well. You see, failure isn’t a bad thing unless you make it out to be.
Failure is nothing more than an unsuccessful attempt at……success! (go back and really think on that one for a while!)
Once you get it in your mind that being a failure is part of being a success, then having success is so much more sweet in the long run!
