FAILURE IS NEVER FINAL

Listen

Failure is never final unless I quit.  Failure isn’t a terminal event; it’s only a false step on the path to my dreams.  It may make me stumble, but it will not make me stop.  Failure is a test, and if I keep moving in the direction of my dreams, I pass the test.

True failure happens when I believe that I can think the same old thoughts, take the same old actions, and still get a new life.  When I fail, I must stop two things:  I must stop what I am thinking and stop what I am doing.  If I continue to think the same old thoughts and take the same old actions, failure will become a permanent part of my life.

I know how to fail intelligently.  When I fail, I learn something from it, and I don’t repeat my mistake.  I maintain my purpose and reformulate my plan taking into account what I have learned.  Each failure eliminates an unsuccessful strategy that could have prevented me from reaching my dreams.  As I walk on the path to my dreams, I carry a backpack full of new thoughts and actions.  Each time I fail, I pull a new thought and new action out of my backpack.  It doesn’t matter if I fall down.  As long as I get back up, think new thoughts, and take new actions, I will reach my dreams.

THE UNRUTTED LIFE
 


Riyadh sits on top of the Tuwayq escarpment two-thousand feet above sea level.  Just outside Riyadh, the escarpment drops off seven-hundred feet to the east into the dunes of the sedimentary Nedj.

Standing on top of the escarpment you see the effects of millions of years of erosion on the Arabian Shield.  Wadis hundreds of feet deep cut through this plateau creating massively dissected terrain.  Trickles of water that occasionally became torrents left their indelible imprint on the landscape.

A similar thing can happen in your mind.  When you think the same thoughts again and again, those thoughts create deep ruts and canyons in your mind, and before long, they define your life.  Mental ruts control your destiny.  Living in the canyons of the mind can be a nightmare if those canyons were created by negative and destructive thoughts.

It's a bad idea to live a rutted life.  You think the same old thoughts, take the same old actions, and get the same old life.

If you are going to live a rutted life, then make sure those ruts are positive, empowering, resourceful and unlimited.  At least those types of thoughts will support you on your journey.

Even better than that, stay out of ruts entirely.  Make a real effort to live the unrutted life.  Every day,  think new thoughts and take new actions so that each day is a new adventure.



BETTER AND BETTER
 


Every once in a while you'll hear me exclaim, "This is as good as it gets."   The problem with this statement is that it's wrong.

You will never reach a place in your life where it's impossible for things to improve.

No matter how bad your life is, it can still get better.

No matter how good your life is, it can still improve.


The farther down you are, the more room you have for improvement.  If you are depressed, lonely, and destitute, that's good, because you have lots of room for improvement.

If you are happy, if you have dozens of friends, and if you have plenty of money, that's also good, because things can still get better.

No matter who you are, where you live, or what you have done in the past, there is no limit to how good your life can become.
