Everyday, we are faced with new choices and new decisions to make. The choices we make determines the outcome we get.
As you already know, there are two possible outcomes in life, no in-betweens:
#Positive_outcomes
#Negative_outcomes
Quite a number of people have trained their minds to always settle for the positive outcomes. Great! This isn't a bad idea or mentality at all. But what if what we had fantasized about doesn't materialize? Do we have to jump off a cliff or get ourselves run over by a moving trailer?
Certainly not! That is why the need for preparation should be emphasized.
Relating this to a coin, there are two faces (two possible outcomes) of a coin. The tail and the head. During a coin toss, we (except of course by chance) can't correctly predict the face that would show up and are prepared to accept whatever face shows up even though there is an inner desire for a particular face to show up.
Life isn't always a bed of roses. There are of course thorns as well and we shouldn't always expect the trip to go smoothly without bumps on the way.
Many people out there are scared of making certain decisions why? Because they dread the ‘negative outcomes’ or should I stress it further by saying ‘failure’.
Countless number of people have uttered words like "I wouldn't be able to try again if I don't make it the first time,” or "I'm scared of not making it,” and some are just too comfortable in their comfort zones.
Who says you can't try again after you've missed at the first attempt? I put it to you that you can!
And in fact having a negative outcome makes one stronger it gives one the experience and drive to want to put in more effort and get an opportunity to access himself to see what he did wrong or where he missed so as to draw out a new plan.
If people can be enlightened of the fact that in everything one does, there certainly will be one of two possible outcomes and then get prepared on how to face or handle this outcomes, positive or negative, then we will have less stagnant people in life who don't have the slightest idea whether or not to move forward.
