Aim High
Success and Failure are not opposites. On quite a few occasions, I have experienced failures(of a plan) on the way to success. We all are so unique in so many ways – our personalities, our past experiences, our body types and the list continues. There is not a single plan that will work for everyone. Honestly, each of us needs our own customized plan because we are so unique.
In my opinion, failure is not trying to achieve our dreams and goals. Failure is setting goals and quitting after the first or second plan doesn’t work.
Thomas Edison created over 3,000 variations of the incandescent light bulb before he came up with one that would burn for 13 hours and was safe to use. Those were not 3,000 failures – they were just ways not to make the light bulb.
When we are driving a car, we do not steer by looking at the yellow lines beside us or directly in front . We are aiming high by looking out ahead of us. We should do the same with achieving success. Aim High! Our first plan may fail, that is when we utilize the 5th and 6th components of Bountiful Results, look to our motivation and adjust the plan for another try.
The path to bountiful results is lined with ways that are not right for our unique circumstance. We often do not know that until we try.
Success will come to those who persevere. Aim for the stars and if you fall short you can still land on the moon.
