I have NOT FAILED. I've just found 10000 WAYS that won't work. ~ Thomas Edison. Indeed, Failures are the Best Learning Opportunities. As much as you may try to learn and research and write about, think about, talk about, and dream, sometimes you will fail. You’ll fail a little teeny tiny bit, like when you flub a pitch and lose out on a new client. You’ll fail a medium amount, when you under-price yourself and didn’t realize how long something would take. You’ll fail big. It happens. It really does. No one is perfect and everyone has missteps, mistakes, failures, stumbles, whatever you want to call them. Every failure is a learning opportunity. They’re the best way to learn, really. Failing at something does not define you. How you react to failure does. Do you pick yourself up and dust off and learn from it? Or do you cross your arms and pout and tell anyone who will listen how it’s not your fault? Do you attack the problem from a new angle? Or do you insist everyone else...

If you want to live an exceptional and extraordinary life, you have to give up many of the things that are part of a normal one. The larger mob of society will never experience true success. Why? Because this majority is unwilling to become the CEO of their life — they’d rather someone else call the shots. They are unwilling to take risks, to fail publicly, and be forced to try again after getting knocked down. They are unwilling to sacrifice what is good for what is great. In short, they are unwilling to give up their “normal” life. Everything Has a Cost. Good is the enemy of great. And that is one of the key reasons why we have so little that becomes great. Few people attain great lives, in large part because it is just so easy to settle for a good life. One of the cornerstones of an extraordinary life is giving up the safety nets, security, and guarantees of a normal life. Maybe this is a steady paycheck at a job that will never allow you to reach your full potential. Maybe it’...

In a world where a guaranteed job for life is now a rare gem, the conventional career path no longer exists. Doing things the way they’ve always been done is the 'most risky thing you can probably do'. Those who do not take chances are on the path to “guaranteed failure”. Your brain will actually prevent you [from taking more risks] by giving you more memories of times when things went wrong. Taking risks also means overcoming some of your natural responses to uncertainty and anxiety. Perhaps ultimately you will need to be willing to take a chance on yourself, to accept that you can make the right choices and cope with the bad ones should things go awry. But it’s worth reminding yourself that risks are almost always necessary for progress. Personally for me, being an entrepreneur and learning how to live differently and make choices in a different kind of way has been one of the most extraordinary rides of my life. It’s funny because I never thought I could be happier wi...

We keep postponing decision making; with the hope of a better result in the near future. We keep giving excuses. It happens so much in our daily life. We prefer to postpone. We do that because we feel a future date would be the better decision making time. Things would be better. Circumstances would be more suitable. Also most of the time its because we feel making quick decisions without proper diligence we may not have all information. However in reality, these are merely excuses we give ourselves to avoid decision making. We seldom account for all the negatives of postponing a decision. Yes there is a hope of better decision in future however that’s only a hope; it may be not end that way. And if it’s not as what we have hoped for, it causes negativity. But also what we definitely lose in the process is all the uncertainty which this postponement brings; the stress and anxiety which we constantly experience. And that also impacts our focus on other things we do; our efficiency dr...
