The Blessing of Failing; Failure is Your Friend

You have a dream.
Everyone has dreams.
You look around and see so many who have made their dreams come true and yet yours doesn't seem to be going anywhere.
. Perhaps you are feeling discouraged and frustrated. You've had this dream for years and thought about it over and over. You've tried and failed so many times that you are ready to give up.

Good. Now you are ready to take some positive steps forward.

You know how to not create your dream, you've done things that didn't work. You are now ahead of the game. You already have a long list of actions that you know don't work.
Because you've already processed through many failures you are closer to your dream now than you've ever been.

When Edison was working on the light bulb he failed thousands of times. His comment was that he knew thousands of ways not to make a light bulb. He didn't give up, he didn't quit. He used each failure as the jumping off place for the next idea.

Perhaps you have listened to others tell you that failure is a “bad” thing so many times that you've adopted it as your own belief.
Failure is a matter of perspective. It's all in how you look at it. You can stop trying and certainly fail, or use your failures to motivate you to try the next thing.

No one has ever failed or succeeded without giving it a go first. As long as you do nothing, little happens. It's only when you are willing to learn from your failed actions and move forward with the next step that you find yourself living your dream.

Failure is actually a blessing. It says to you, “keep going, try something else”. You've got an idea, you know the next steps. You know what doesn't work. Take another action and see where it leads. As long as you are moving forward you are getting closer to your dream.

Giving up and setting limiting beliefs are the only things standing in your way.

I recently watched a video by a guy with no arms and no legs. He talked about limits all being in your head. He didn't see himself as limited, rather he saw opportunity to do things a different way. This young man is very successful because he just doesn't believe in limits. He believes in opportunity.

Every thing is your life is another opportunity to do something a bit differently than it's been done before.

Shift your thinking and keep taking action. Your dreams are much closer than you think.
