Success or Failure: How to Cope With Failure

There is no such thing as failure - only feedback - we can learn from our failures. Do not let apparent failures beat you up, learn from them. As humans, we tend to be harder on ourselves than others are. A small child learning to walk never fails to get up and try and try and try until success is achieved. It is the same in life; every failure is a step closer to success.

Emotions are notoriously fickle: to let your emotions be your rule of success or failure is asking for trouble. Do not listen to your heart this is dangerous; you need to have advisors who are able to help direct you. No one succeeds alone always there is a strong team behind any success.

Your inner circle: Many successful men and women throughout history and up to the present day have a trusted inner-circle of friends and advisors. Choose this inner-circle with great care and wisdom.

Choice: It is all down to choice. That is your attitude toward failure and success. Many of those who succeed have a track record littered with what we would call failures. They chose to learn from these and move toward their goal. The last of the human freedoms is to choose your attitude in whatever circumstance you may find yourself.

Ensue or pursuit? The more you aim for something the more likely you are to miss it. Put quite simply success must happen. This is why the successful entrepreneur makes it look easy - they just let it happen. Do not care for success so much as following your principles, working toward the future and eventually success will be there with you - precisely because you forgot to aim for it.

Get rich quick schemes: is not a recipe for success. These schemes usually do not deliver what they promise; at best they are a lie. To get rich slowly slowly is a much more stable road to tread.
