Failure

Life is a game

i love when i fail. i get so upset about little things i don’t succeed at (that aren’t even really failures to most people, but they are to me). and when that happens i get so determined to succeed that i then see open doors that i wasn’t looking at with a mind of “happiness and success.” these open doors are always bigger than the ones i wanted to go through before. funny how that works. the thing about these new doors is that they require more effort than the first doors. so from this point i’m creating a life turning point (had a lot of those recently in this preparation for 2014). i’m going to always keep my eye on the doors that i would see if i potentially failed (what is plan B, plan C and plan D and are those BETTER than plan A? can i pursue them while i’m pursuing plan A? maybe in the pursuit of all battles, the winning of the war will be that much faster and that much greater). i’ll look at the options that contain more effort as well as the easy doors and make strides toward them all. why hitch your entire future on one option?

i’m not going to use failure as a motivation anymore, because that just means that i need failure to succeed and why live a life searching for failure to have success. failure is in the way. what do i say to failure now?

“move, bitch, get out the way!”

why continually seek out failure to succeed. that’s pretty dumb even though its what successful people “say.” don’t get me wrong, it’s BETTER than average operation! but there’s still falsehoods in that statement. you know that most of the time when you ask successful people how they made it, THEY don’t even know how they made it so they make up stuff according to what they heard other motivational people say? lol. don’t take what they say as EXACTLY what they did. best to look at common denominators between successful people…anyway! i say, if you want to seek out failure go do some drugs and live your life in a ditch. seek out success and just know that failures are part of the game and a FUN part of the game (why play a game where you have no opponents?) So take failures in stride as part of the game and predict them (just how you would predict that the linebacker is going to tackle you so you can move out of the way. don’t pretend the linebacker ain’t there!) predict that failures will happen and play the game like a game and don’t forget that it’s a game. imagine you’re playing football and in the middle of a play you forgot you were playing? a bunch of big dudes running at you is a scary situation randomly in life. but when you see it as a game you have much more control and preparation to win. so have a solution already in place as part of the game, see the game as it actually is and know what failures are going to present themselves so you can put out all options to defeat those barriers. that’s what i learned today and i feel much better about life in general.

thanks for reading! i’m going to be sending out an announcement soon we’re about to do that’s super cool and i need people on my team!
