Failure is not...
“Failure is not a single, cataclysmic event. We do not fail overnight. Failure is the inevitable result of an accumulation of poor thinking and poor choices. To put it more simply, failure is nothing more than a few errors in judgment repeated every day.”
Jim Rohn
Something to deeply ponder:
How can you tell if your thoughts and beliefs are accurate? How can you tell if the information you have is corrrect or incorrect?
As a wise person once said, "The proof is in the pudding." In other words, what kind of results are you producing?
By being aware of the quality of the results we're producing, we can get a feeling about the quality of our thoughts and beliefs.
If we're producing undesirable results, those undesirable results are an indication that our thoughts and beliefs are based in error and need to be addressed. On the other hand, if the results we're producing are desirable, they're an indication that our thoughts and beliefs are based in truth, for truth is "the way things really work."
It's been said that "insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." I would add that "insanity is thinking the same thing over and over again expecting different actions," for thinking is the starting point of all action.
Therefore, I encourage you to begin to look at the results you're producing. However desirable or undesirable they may be begin to seek awareness of the thoughts and beliefs that produced these results.
This is how we learned to not touch a hot stove burner or that serving others is a great way to experience joy.
Be willing to examine your experiences, for they all hold the insight and understanding you need in order to refine and change your personal philosophy.
