Do you FAIL FORWARD?

I had some goals that I set for myself and gave myself a deadline to reach.. and guess what.. I FAILED! I did NOT reach them.. 

And I instantly started to feel discouraged, demotivated, a little depressed, and even questioned my abilities. The feeling of FAILURE started to sink in..

But then I remembered a quote I had read a couple years ago.. (<---YES.. Personal Development STICKS with you for YEARS!!)

"Most great people have attained their GREATEST Success just one step beyond their GREATEST Failure!" ~ Napoleon Hill

See.. most people feel or experience failure and GIVE UP.. They stop dead in their tracks because in all honestly.. who really wants to admit that they arent good enough for something. I gave up PLENTY of times before.. and I know from experience.. that the feeling of GIVING UP is so much harder to absorb than the feeling of failure.. In fact.. giving up causes regrets! and regrets can last for an eternity.. it can be something that you even take to the grave.

I have so many people tell me that they can't do what I do with coaching.. and in all transparency.. YES YOU CAN! In fact.. you could be better! I am no different than anyone else out there.. But I am different in the sense that I wont GIVE UP! Ive been there and done that.. and I will take being a FAILURE far over giving up.. In fact.. I can honestly say that I have FAILED my way to Success! Over the past couple years, I have never worked harder on myself to be a better person, a better leader, a better coach! Someone who inspires others to get started, pick themselves up when they've fallen, and never give up!

And so I am sharing this with you all because while its easy to let the feelings of inadequacy take over.. there comes a point when you need to stick up for yourself and be OK with Failing! Failing is far more prevalent in this life than Succeeding.. but something strange starts to happen the more you fail.. you end up being SUCCESSFUL! Everything you wished for in the beginning of your journey.. happens after you've failed at it!!!

So today.. as I think about the goals that I set.. I am not giving up on them.. I'm setting NEW ONES.. BIGGER ONES!!! Because I know that I am that much closer to them on the other side of FAILURE! 

Change your mind to see things differently and your LIFE WILL CHANGE!!

A Case of the Monday Blues??

Seriously.. I LOVE MONDAYS!!!

I used to think of Mondays as the beginning of a LOOOONNNGGG dreaded work week!... but I've allowed myself to be open to change and opened my mind up to a new way of thinking. See what you FOCUS on E X P A N D S !!!

So if you go into the week or start your day with the mindset that its already going to be horrible.. then it will! Everything that will unfold will be exactly what you thought it would be.. BUT if you change the way you think.. just slightly.. and tell yourself how wonderful MONDAY's are.. (even if you dont believe it at first) You will eventually learn to LOVE the beginning of the week! The beginning to start fresh.. wipe out the previous week.. and set your sites on bigger things!

Why live life dreading every moment of it?

I've been there... and done that.. and TRUST me.. thats no way to live!
