Yesterday I talked about discipline and how to train yourself to be solid as a rock. This post is going to be short but important. We are going to talk about failure
The next big step
Now that you're working on your discipline and you're setting hard objectives you need to be prepared to stand before failure, but it's just going to be a failure if you allow yourself to fail. When people fail is because they surrender most of the time, they stop trying
Nothing in this world must be harder than letting behind an addiction, whatever it is drugs alcohol or gambling, the fight of a recovering addict never ends, they only fail when they allow themselves to fail, and they know they never gonna win the fight, they just hold and keep fighting, and that's amazing, sad, but amazing
What can we learn from a recovering addict?
Even when addicts are stigmatized by the society for things we already know, we can learn a lot from the addict facing recovery, some people will say that addicts are weak because they fall, but I believe they are strong because they rise from the very bottom of the abyss
Whatever you're facing in your life, doesn't matter if it's a big goal you have set and you can't accomplish yet, or overcoming a depression, even getting over a difficult person, you can use the technique addicts use
Just one more day!
It's as simple as it sounds, just hold one more day, you only need to succeed once, that's what addicts do, and they know they aren't going to win, ever
I remember one day that my father found a new job, he's a salesman and a very good enterprise dispensed him a big catalog to sell across the country. In the first 2 months, he was wasting more money traveling and staying at hotels than the money he was earning from the sales, but he just hold until the moment when he succeeded, because my grandpa told him to stay strong just one more day, every day
Don't just read this posts and forget about them, really take your time to think and process, allow yourself to change
Do you want to be ready for failure? Or do you want to be ready for success?
Just one more step...
