How to turn your failure into success

Have you ever felt like no matter what you do nothing goes right for you? I mean you see everyone else around you getting what they want; how come when you try to make things happen for yourself it always ends up not working out. "It's just not FAIR!"

Have you ever caught yourself saying those same words? I know I have too many times to count. But I had a complete paradigm shift one day after reading a book by Napoleon Hill called Think and Grow Rich. Hill stated that "every failure carries with it the seed of an equivalent success." Meaning that no matter what happens you can overcome anything if you keep a positive attitude and work through the mistakes and failures. By working through them I'm talking about looking for the lesson in every situation and not giving up.

If your goal is to lose weight, run a marathon or look good for that wedding or high school reunion you are going to face some challenges but if you keep moving forward, don’t blame anyone else for your situation and decide not to give up no matter what it takes, you will always succeed each and every time.

I grew up watching all those Rocky movies and I loved to pretend I was training for a big fight against Apollo Creed. I still love watching them because now I can see how Rocky applied those same concepts described above and no matter what happened he never blamed anyone, he just kept moving forward, even when he lost everything and had to go back to working odd jobs just to pay the bills.

I found this clip and wanted to share this with you because if we can apply what is talked about this country and everyone living here will start to see success in every area of their lives. Talk to you soon.
