99% of the people you date (or dated) are NOT a good fit for you. So why anguish over a break up or bad date? Guy #47 NOT working doesn’t prevent #62 from being
HIM. You don’t need every guy to work, just one is a success. Success possible without failure? Nope.
Most millionaires do not reach their success in their first business; in fact you can google millionaires/leaders who’ve been bankrupt first. The list includes 5 U.S. Presidents including Abraham Lincoln (+3 others were close to it). Success likely without failure?
Nope.
When you seek success without failure you will get what you fear, the failures.
Stop and notice - are you focused on a single loss in your string of wins? Unless you are playing in the World Series, single elimination time (God Bless my Chicago Cubs!), focusing on a single
loss diverts you from your happiness.
I was just down in Texas visiting my dad and stepmom (love her!). The 5 day visit was amazing with just a single moment of stickiness. I watched myself start to trigger. I could SEE my ego trying to reclassify my ENTIRE awesome 5 day visit as a failure because of ONE thing not working.
That meant my ego was using the “EVERY last thing must go exactly right to feel success" standard. WHO IS EVER GOING TO MAKE THAT?!?
No one will. That’s the point. Success consistently without failure? Nope.
The ability to let some things “not work” and still feel like a success and be happy builds flexibility (my word for 2017) and shows self-love (total acceptance).
No success is a string of perfect wins. Since you know that, stop expecting perfection.
This is my favorite graphic on success. It is NOT a straight line! Once people have made it and tell their stories, they tell them linearly so it just SOUNDS clear and direct.
