RE: What If Your Success Was 'Locked-In' At The Moment Of Decision, WHAT Would You Do? WHO Would You Be?

in #success5 years ago

Awesome you understand the fundamentals of success, psychology, fear and mindset beautifully!

Often what looks like success or failure may be something entirely different to what the outside world perceives. I used to teach my Daughters that if they came last out of a class of 30 children at something at school how to be become better.

I would hear some parents giving the advice to "aim for first place", BUT I explained a completely different strategy to my girls. If today you were in 30th place, next time aim to be 29th, the following time 28th, always try and chip away at the things you want. The race does not need to be won today, tomorrow or even this week. It is a journey and I believe we should always look at our personal best and try and beat it, even by a little next time.

People often perceive competition where there is none, in the end the race is only ever really against yourself.

Thank YOU so very much for taking the time to engage in such an amazing way, it is truly appreciated :)

Thanks to you also for taking the time to read my comment and give me the feedback.

I think that advice you have given your daughters is one of the best you have given them. Patience is a virtue and for everything in life there is a process. And precisely, that competition that you speak, that rush to win the race is what makes us fall on the road.

Thanks again for sharing such an amazing article. I hope to read more from you.

Thankyou my friend. If we do fall in the road, being surrounded by a thoughtful, empowered and caring community getting back up again can be made all the more easy :)
