Turning failure into success

Do you get discouraged and in a low state of mind every now and then? Your thinking gets negative and you get depressed for no particular reason? Turns out, there are times when an emotional housecleaning is probablly a good idea.

Good news. When this happens you can know a healthy balance is taking blace. Your emotions are thankfully throwing out and dissolving old negative thought patterns that are buried deep in your mind. Don't resist. Be thankful that a deep cleansing is taking place. These periods will pass and you will emerge in a lighter state of mind and emotion.

Another success tip is this: do not try to force your success. Some of my Blackbelt Coaching clients tell me about the personal and professional development efforts they've undertaken in the past. I am a big believer in ALL personal and professional efforts and encourage you to embrace these ideas and techniques. However, many of these concepts are presented in such a way that implies if you work harder, go longer, get stronger, take no prisoners!, you will win.

I don't agree. Do you need to be clear and concise? Yes. Do you need to be persistent and confident? Yes. But forcing the result often backfires and you find yourself confused, divided in your thinking, and left with a sense of failure.

I recently posted about imagination and ideas. The Dynamic Transitioning course spends time early on in stretching your thinking and becoming receptive to the possibilities out there that not only help you get by, but make you successful. You've got to be receptive to the highest and best methods of accomplishments. It takes practice and clarity. Exercising your imagination and considering the possibilities can be fun and it is also necessary to turn seeming failure into success.

Ralph Waldo Emerson knew that all progress comes through ideas, seldom through physical and mechanical force.
