“Don’t wish it were easier, wish you were better. Don’t wish for fewer problems, wish for more skills. Don’t wish for less challenges, wish for more wisdom. “- Jim Rohn

You Either Win Or You Learn

Early on, in most of our lives, we are taught that failure is meant to be avoided at all costs. We prepare and prepare to do our best not to be met with defeat, but when we are, it feels like a crushing blow to our ego. What if it didn’t have to be this way? Instead what if we simply looked at failure as a learning experience that taught us what not to do the next time around. Well that is exactly what you will hear from every successful person or life coach out there.

It Is Not The Wind That Blows, But The Set Of Our Sail That Determines Our Direction

We are all met with the same problems in life so why is it that some people tend to stay happy while others are miserable? It all comes down to how we react to the situations in which we are put. Every experience we have brings with it an opportunity to learn. If we can train ourselves to see the positive side of whatever comes our way, then we will begin to spot openings that most people are too blind to see. For example, the majority of us believe that a bad economy is the time to save and be safe, but for those who are willing to take risks the field will be wide open. Train yourself to see the opportunity in every situation and you will soon find happiness in a world that seems so frightening to others.
