There is an old Chinese Story about the three pots of boiling water over the fire, in the first pot there was a carrot, in the second pot, an egg, and in the last one, tea leaves. They all faced the same adversity, boiling hot water. The carrot started out strong and hard, but became soft and mushy. The egg started out fragile, but became hard inside. The tea leaves affected the water rather than allowing it to be effected, by changing the color and flavor of the water.
In the very heat of circumstances, ask yourself, how have I changed? Do I elevate myself to another level, change the situation around me, or am I a carrot or egg? Which am I?
Let’s look at the great Thomas Edison who said, “If I find 10,000 ways something won't work, I haven't failed. I am not discouraged, because every wrong attempt discarded is another step forward.”
It is all about our perspective, isn’t it? Do your use your ‘failures’ to propel you forward or leave you defeated and hard hearted? Or, are you flexible, adaptable to your situations continuing to move in forward motion?
Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up. Thomas Edison
What Actions do you take in the face of adversity? There are ebbs and flows in the game. There are always changes, learn to shoot on the run. Keep seeking solutions! Many “fail” their way to success. The only failure is a quitter and QUITTING is not an option! Only the quitter looses everything, and it will haunt you the rest of your life.
So think back to a time of adversity in your life. Can you actually find a circumstance that occurred, and in the end, made you a better person? Where your dreams propelled to another level? How you view and respond to adversity is crucial. You are the only one that can change you. You must elevate who you are in your game, in order to get breakthrough, or you would already have it! You can’t be the old you and the new you at the same time. This is life changing at your very core.
Action will change things, particularly taking action in the heat of things. You can’t build your business unless you are doing the activity every day. Is it easy? No, just easier and relatively simple compared to starting a fortune 500 company. This is not hard at all once you get past the procrastination and follow the blueprint to success laid out for you in our Academy of Entrepreneurial Development.
What are you waiting for, everything to be perfect? Massive imperfect action beats perfect inaction every time! By taking daily action your level of excellence will increase.
Today is new day!
Quantum change in behavior + Quantum change in Skills =
Quantum change in Results
To Your Success,
