On success and failure.

Before you have been taught about failure, before you have been taught about futility, before you have understood what frustration and disappointment are, and before you have started doubting yourself, you had made huge leaps in your progress.

Let’s picture a child trying to walk. The more he tries the more he falls, yet he never stops. Once the child falls to the ground he simply stands up and tries to walk again without a single sign of restlessness, frustration or resentment. He never stays at the ground feeling self pity or pondering his bad luck and He never compares himself to other children who managed to walk.

No matter how many times he falls, he will always stand up and try again, not because of him knowing the importance of persistence and perseverance, neither because he had been taught about goal setting and strategies of success, but because his mind is only occupied with his goal. His heart is joyful and enthusiastic about what he seeks. No mental or emotional noise distracts him. It doesn’t come to his mind what would happen if he falls, neither has it come to his mind what others may think of him falling again and again, he is literally ignorant of all of these conceptions and that is why he keeps making progress.

Kids don’t know failure or success. They know nothing but their goals. For them it is not disappointing to miss the goal until they were told so by parents and society.

That was the past; now as adults they are well informed and well trained on failure, resentment and self pity. They believe that circumstances can hinder their success. They are programmed to compare themselves to others. They are very attentive to others’ judgments of them. They are afraid to fail and the more they are afraid the more likely they are going to miss their goals.

In order for an adult to succeed he should reclaim his childhood joyfulness, He needs to reverse the programming process he went through during his early years and he literally needs to unlearn every single concept that obscures his natural tendency for fulfillment.

Success, fulfillment and achievement are much simpler than what you ever thought. They are attainable by finding what you really passionate about in life, by utilizing your innate competences to achieve you own dreams, by allowing your heart to guide you to the sort of success it craves, by moving with your own pace without caring who is before you and who is behind, and finally by using your own standards to measure your success.

Set your sails and enjoy the journey.
With my love.
