Every “failure” or not succeeding should rather be viewed as a learning opportunity


Nobody likes to fail, err or suffer of misinformation or misconceptions.

Every “failure” or not succeeding should rather be viewed as a learning opportunity. These can assist you finding your niche, calling and speciality.

WE have to take the time individually and collectively to see and uncover where our strengths in fact lie. Most of us choose a career at an early age, not even knowing if that is the right thing for us that we will be able to excel and grow into, outperform later in life.

WE accept mediocrity and failure and very often just accept our fate and keep going. WE find it hard to admit that we have in fact failed – even our own expectations. WE despair and claim ruin and disrepair!

WE rely on what we think is our natural abilities and skill-sets that enable us to utilize and tap into our transferable skills and talents in almost every situation, context and circumstance. This is not necessarily true for everyone, not even for most of us.

Being good at one thing under certain circumstances does not automatically follow that it is great on other fronts as well by default so to speak.

Our capacity and abilities will vary in context and circumstance. If you are great at finance, it does not obviously follow that you are great at sales for example.

Avoid feelings of despair over initial or any failure for that matter. Do not fight the tide or try to swim upstream all the time. Timing is everything, seek new openings that might lend themselves better to your skill-set and special talents.

You too can find your destiny, calling, success and happiness if you know what to look for, when, how to find and make the most of it, FOR YOU! YOUR LIFE! YOUR FUTURE!

Push the boundaries and capitalize on every opportunity that comes your way, without hesitation.

It is very hard to admit failure to thrive, succeed or achieve. Its lessons are hard to learn.

These include: making the most of these opportunities to form and shape us, refining our mastery and ongoing success, we need to keep going, find our niche and specialty, optimize our strengths and talents and not be derailed or discouraged so easily.

Consistency - Lack of consistency does not mean inconsistency

Who would ever think to say that these two aspects might actually HURT, HINDER success or happiness, business, politics and the like?

This is a true paradox! Sometimes used for defensive justification.
Consistency is often used as a bad excuse for failure and is dead wrong, simply put. You in essence are placing yourself at risk of sacrificing judgment, dismissing knowledge and experience, ignoring facts, changes and unfolding events, implications etc. just for the sake of ‘constants’

Being consistent is very different than being stagnant of inflexible, rigid or set in your ways. Raising inconsistency is not the idea either, rather propagating some open-mindedness, rather than closed or narrow-mindedness.

Life is about change! Reality is filled with it. Lack of consistency does not necessarily mean that you are inconsistent or lack character, turns as the wind blows, have no morals etc. In life, there are no one size fits all rile, situation, circumstance or context, solutions and answers for everyone and anyone.

Life is simply not like that or that simple. Lack of consistency does not mean inconsistency. On this we need to be very clear.

You can be responsive and still act, think and do from the core of your values, true to self and purpose, success and happiness principles and practice put forth here.

Life is not theoretical. It is practical, demanding, dynamic and ever-changing, expecting you to act accordingly.

If you are propagating consistency against all odds you are running the risk or putting predictability first and foremost, regardless of risk or reality. This is dangerous and risky!

It is the wrong strategy to follow and propagate for success and sustained change.

You will be asked and asking to give up good, solid judgment and common sense

Ignore expertise, experience, dismiss insight based on past, input etc.
Facts matter more than opinions etc.

It does not mean you are sacrificing all for being inconsistent, but MORE open-minded, flexible, agile and adaptable. That is what will bring you success.

You will find yourself more open to changing your mind, more receptive to new information or changes of circumstances, factors etc., crisis or pressure situations will be faced more easily and readily as part of life and not a weird occurrence or set-back necessarily.

Evidence and proof does not become the only determining factor, rather “fluidity” of judgment rules and rises above.

Politics and business are great playing and practice fields for these techniques.

Cycles of their on-going, dynamic being and functioning, being in touch with and aware of them, will guarantee successful processes and outcomes.

Decay is oftentimes a symptom of the lack of these dynamics. Being too set in your ways may actually hurt you in the long-run. Being too narrow, or closed-minded can put you at risk. Beliefs in consistency against all other odds, is a false sense of security.

It will not help you, it may hurt you. It can lead to irresponsiveness and make you slow to act, react, in a context and world that demands adaptability and agility!

A pre-requisite for success and happiness is life and movement at all costs, being open to changes and what they may bring. Handling and responding to these changes do not make you inconsistent per se, but rather constant in your approach to consistency and inconsistency! Success and happiness finds the midway!

Dedication, rigor, courage and according to own rules, definitions, principles of success and happiness will triumph in these situations. This is the only way to taste success on your terms and by your definition of what it is and means to you.
You do not need to be fickle and inconsistent, a hypocrite, but rather pursue to please and appease, but still do what is right, build your repute and reliability (even if perceived to be somewhat inconsistent (for the right reasons), while keeping your self-respect intact!

Are you bias??

We all have it and suffer from them! AND UNFORTUNATELY WE ALSO ACT ON THEM! Preconceived ideas – they plague and bless all of us, in different ways and to different extent.

It is extremely hard to identify and break with. It is a habit and so natural that we do not even realize or recognize most of the time that it is actually present and/or happening!

It is not a virtue and does not do much to help and empower us. Quite the contrary, this true vice can oftentimes trip us up and make us less effective, unsuccessful and even unhappy!

It causes damage and corrodes our relationships, interactions and exchanges we have with and in the world around us and those in it. These evil habits creep up on us when we least expect them to. Destructive, negative and often judgmental, they are out before we even had the time to think about what we are thinking, saying or doing (Based on or coming from these deeply ingrained bias, filters, prejudice and preconceived notions and interpretations)

Ever being called narrow-minded ? This means that your own opinions, outlooks, and even prejudice are all hard at work and very much alive and well. (despite our best attempts and efforts to curb them) Conscious and subconscious they direct our actions and words (sometimes we are oblivious and other-times aware of their workings, yet it is very hard to shake or get rid of their influence completely) They are so inherently part of whom we are, becoming and others know! They are mostly learned behavioral patterns and habits that exist, that we have become extremely comfortable with.

Youth, religion and politics even family and school can all be powerful forces and experience to be reckoned with! In-born, training, socializing, reason, prejudice are and can all be weaknesses that trip us up and make us less effective. They are not necessarily strengths to be relied upon in crisis for example. They are highly bias and unreliable and might even distort our views or lead us to the wrong conclusions.

Hating others or discrimination is a great example of this. We make our judgments based on what we see, think we know, hear, perceive, filter, think, have experienced etc. It is almost inevitable. We just need to be aware that it is happening and then do something to counteract it!

Forms of personal prejudice can only be disproved by the actual fact and experience to the contrary. You have to be curious, open-minded and aware of these things to actually change it.

Other examples could be irrational dislikes and accepted patterns of behaviour, predictable choices for comfort, habit or other ingrained reasons – missing out on great opportunities potentially! We need to have the courage and wherewithall to break through these biases.
We need to keep our habits and/or traditions at bay when it matters most.

Political conceptions can be extremely powerful too. Conflict, partisanship might actually cloud our vision and decision-making. We might not recognize change of circumstance and opportunity.

Lack of adapting to the demands of the environment and even a type of trained brainwashing can keep us from achieving our utmost!

Get rid of prejudices in your life and be more open-minded
Success will come quicker if we do fight against prepossessions, born of the past
Pursue actively those thoughts, behaviors that will ensure and sustain a happy, successful, and active life.

Lord Beaverbrook’s words echo well here:

“Prejudice is a mixture of pride and egotism,
and no prejudiced man, therefore, will be happy.”

Luck

What then is the role of lady luck or random chance in this wonderful world of success and happiness?

Does it have a role to play? Do you really have to be in the right spot at the right time to make things happen?

Could SUCCESS happen to just about anyone, anywhere, due to sheer luck of the draw?

At its very roots, this belief is based in pagan ritual and rite and goes back ages. Stars and cards may not dictate happiness and success (or not) for you! (alone)

We are not just random accidents, delivered and victim to our process, circumstances and surroundings. We have a purpose . It does not determine our future and destiny. You may have something to say or a role to play in that yet! You are not off the hook that easily – not by a long shot!

You are definitely NOT born either lucky or unlucky. That is an excuse and what a powerless position to enforce your life and potential from!

Luck, success and happiness is not a birth-right or due to a fluke or stroke of luck. You need and are intended to be somewhere, sometime, for some purpose. Luck is not a skill or a right that includes or excludes some/others.

Gambling is based on this concept and belief-system and very unfavorable as a life-guideline. It is a numbers game in the end and you can master, get better at it, honestly WIN great fortunes.

For real success in your life, family, relationships, work, future, you cannot realistically have this frame of mind and expect success and happiness in the process.

The onus rests on you to make a difference and tackle the chances and opportunities, even create some along the way that life brings across your path. You cannot just sit back and passively expect things to happen for the better.

Ambition can cloud your vision if you have too much of it. You need to be opportunistic and industrious as well in the process to get the most out of it.

LUCK will not get and guarantee you success and happiness in your life.

It can also be used as an excuse for in-action and/or failure. Not having access to the ;’fruits’ and promise of luck may be used as a verbalization and rationalization of why things are not going well, not successful or failing. It is a weak argument at best and will not hold water.

Chances will not just come your way – you need to make them, recognize them, active pursue or carve them open. Life will not necessarily come to you on a silver platter, announcing itself to you and the world. You need to make it happen. You have an active, deliberate role to play here.

An elevated sense of self might have you turning down opportunities simply because they are “below” you (or so you think or mislead yourself into believing).

Luck will not just give you the answers and deliver you from your evils, perils and trouble, YOU HAVE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! There are no chance-like, ready-made solutions, answers or position to get you out of it, by doing NOTHING!

You will loose out on opportunities, if you wait for luck and random chance to deliver success and happiness to you.

Being informed, involved, engaged by choice and NOT DETACTHING self from others, environment, happenings, tasks at hand etc. is the way and route to go. Avoid getting the reputation of “the genius of the untried.” (according to Lord Beaverbrook wisdom).

If you really do plan to succeed and put your mind to it, you just might and will! If you do not try, you will never know. Do not wait for random chance or luck to smile favorably on you – you might end up losing out altogether! Rather make things happen!

Luck means and will pocket you NEXT TO NOTHING!

If you do embrace every opportunity that does end up coming your way, you might just reach new heights and potential that you never thought possible. In so doing, you will be opening windows and doors of new and future opportunities that you did not think possible before.
Seize the day the saying goes! This rings true for real success and happiness. Be deliberate and action, results oriented, focusing in on the chances there and that you can create to be industrious and ambitions!

Even if the knowledge, expertise and judgment is not there, you might just learn something in the process and get better at what you are doing!

Your knowledge and prowess will improve, grow and expand and you will be better off for and with trying than not! In so doing, you will be successful, fulfilled and happy! LUCK will not even be a factor close in your mind or consideration.

It will be YOU, YOUR ACTIONS and pro-active involvement that will make the difference.

LUCK does not determine or guarantee success or happiness. Intuition, speculative guesses and instinct all figure into the gambling or luck-type perspectives on success and achievement.

Instinctively, with fore-sight and/or gut-feel just knowing something beyond a reasonable doubt is at times held up as a good reliable strategy for success and happiness.

There is nothing mystical or magical, mysterious about this. If you are in touch, thinking clearly, logically and work through things with your mind and heart, you will have feelings, biases and filters at work and present in your decision-making and other processing, how we make sense of, interact and deal with the world around us.

It is NOT MERE INSTINCT or INTUITION! WE are not dismissing their role, but taking it of its pedestal.

Your mind might not be able to make sense of HOW you know, just that you know, that you know! Everyone else will attribute it to luck or random chance, but you know better the truth, efforts, energy, time and what went into both process and outcome.

Superstition and real luck, does not last and cannot be sustained and is therefore not a viable course of action for most. It is unreliable for a personal strategy for success and happiness.

It is fleeting and futile a pursuit. If we are to succeed we are better off believing and pursuing ‘industry’ creative ideas, ambition, not just luck, random chance or fortune smiling upon us.

Reputation, achievement comes through hard work, not random chance or luck. Hard work and solid judgment, knowledge, skill, discipline and commitment is what will matter most, NOT LUCK!

Ambition and the pursuit of knowledge, life-long learning and on-going mastery, skill-refinement is what will be required to sustain momentum, change, growth, success and happiness! NOT LUCK!
