How You can Achieve Success… … Everytime Part 1

I know I’m making a VERY BOLD statement here, so am I just making an empty promise? Read on.

We all know that Success demands consistent hard work and seldom is achieved overnight. Hence, likewise, failure is not attained in a blink of the eyes. Usually, there is a sequence of events that precedes failure.

Realizing this fact now, what we can do first is to learn to avoid possible failures. How do you do it?

This leads me to the point I want to make in this Part 1 – Awareness of Yourself.

If you choose to look back at your previous failures, I’m not surprised at all there is a pattern in which eventually leads to those failures. Recognize how you felt, what words you said to youself and how they were said. I call these “Precursors of Failure”.

Just like when you’re about to fall sick, you would usually feel uncomfortable and tired. It’s the same thing about failure! One of my own precursors are I become irritable by things I usually don’t get annoyed. Another would be I start avoiding contacting with people i.e. I become anti-social.

So, start now by recognizing your Precursors of Failure before we move to the next level!

  1. The Path to Success Always Includes a Turn - February 23 2007

    [...] Sometimes stepping out of your comfort zone is the only way to achieve what you want. Tony D. Clark wrote an interesting article calling fear an “asset” that should be “mastered“. You may fear someone will reject you, or you may fear that your efforts will be a waste of time or an embarrassment. Either way, you’ll never know until you jump in with both feet, recognizing that your fear is more about uncertainty than anything. Instead of letting it “bring you back to reality”, embrace it and prove to yourself, and only you, that your idea and efforts were valid. [...]
