I was recently reading a book called Beyond Positive Thinking written by Dr Arnold Fox, M.D. & Dr. Barry Fox, Ph. D. It is a phenomenal book. I highly recommend you own a copy of it. But, while reading this book, I came across a portion which shows how to read a failure. I mean, I knew that all success is based on failure. But, to understand failure and learn from it, you need to be able to read it to get the best out of it. What I am about to share with you is straight from the book Beyond Positive Thinking.
How do you read failure?
- You’re giving up too soon.
- You have the wrong approach
- You’re doing the wrong thing
- You have talents that have not yet been developed
- You need a rest
- You should examine your motives
- You should remember that you’re only human
Think about the ventures or activites where you think you might have failed. What did you do? Did you eventually get success? If so, did you do any of the above mentioned things in order to get success? If not, could the end result have changed If you had read that failure in one of above ways?
Why not give it a try? If there is something that recently happened in your life that makes you feel like a failure, re-assess the situation using the above bulletted points. Maybe you can turn it into success.
Hope this helped. Looking forward to reading your comments.
Respectfully,
Mayur
