Fight or Flight!

Will you choose to fight 12 rounds or will you decide to give up today.

You slave away, you make the necessary sacrifices, you put in a 100% effort! Yet you failed. Now what? What do you do?

As infants we are educated to understand that in order to achieve our dreams and goals, we must work hard, make sacrifices, put in 110% effort, then we are guaranteed to see the manifestation of our efforts. However, nobody talks or teaches about what we must do, when we attempt to pursue our dreams and fall flat on our face. As humans beings, we are faced with a daily conundrum, the decision to fight or take flight! 

I hear you asking, do you endure further or do you accept defeat and give up?

Today, I wanted to tell you something. I wanted to encourage you. I wanted to make you aware that 'failure is a natural part of life', however, the difference between champions and losers are those who learn from failure and 'push on'.

Failure does not mean that you are weak, in fact, it implies quite the opposite as suggested by TR Bentley-Woode "The lessons from failure are your greatest strengths". 

*You attempt to run a business yet the challenging are overwhelming

*You attempt to pursue a employment career, yet employers are not giving you that much needed break

Keep going! Keep going! Keep going

Can I tell you a secret? "Your success is just one more step in front of your last failed attempt,"Atkin (1985) Napeoleon Hill, the author of "Think and Grow rich" in support of Atkins, suggested that 'Most great people have attained their greatest success just one step beyond their greatest failure.'

Nothing ventured, nothing gained. The great sportsman Michael Jordan stated, "I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can't accept not trying". The greatest lesson you can ever learn is one from yourself.

Watch this video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_3Dj5GZJNc by Sir Richard Branson who is regarded as one of the greatest failure of our century, yet one of the most powerful and wealthiest entrepreneurs of today. Go figure that out! Your success is round the corner, just keep the fight! Fight on

Do not give up on your dream. Edison didn't, Branson didn't, I didn't, in fact anyone who ever achieved anything understood one of the greatest secret as noted by John Wooden is that "Success is never final, failure is never fatal. It's courage that counts"

Give it one more shot!

Your success awaits you.

Have a brilliant week
