We do not plan to fail, however, too often we fail to plan. Human beings are not designed to fail, but to fulfill their quota of success, although within the parameters of reasonableness, opportunity and concentrated effort. It is often said that it is better to have “luck” be “good”, which means that we were never designed to be just “good enough” to succeed at anything, and anytime. However, we must always be open to every precious opportunity given to us, and to be ready to complete and immediately seize the advantage of every moment of good fortune. Defer, as they say, is losing.
We live in a competitive world, a planet competitive and a competitive environment. The odds are always in favor of preparation and good position. We have no right to anything. The “success” and “failure” they are just facts, and do not control or guarantee in any way predictable future. In the process of life, will produce favorable and unfavorable events, often suddenly and without any planning on our part. We can either “planning to fail”, or “failing to plan”. This is always our choice, and those who are successful, always choose wisely, by planning never fail, but only plan to be successful.
The ukemi in Aikido, not simply the art of falling, but even more, is the art to recover and return to an upright position and ready. The last person standing is usually considered “victorious”, and not necessarily the strongest, faster or more qualified.
We apply the principle of “gambaru”, fight without thinking about leaving, in the duration of our commitment. “The Quitters never win, and winners never quit” This exhortation is constantly gives our young, instilling in their minds fragile and illusory inexperienced ingredient, but necessary inner strength, which is indispensable for those who decide not to fail. Perceiving clearly your goals, do not let thoughts of failure in. Just go ahead.
I remember watching powerful Friederich Nietzsche, what does not kill us, has the ability to make us stronger. Being determined to avoid failure in favor of renewing the effort and confidence, We can decide our fate in a way unimaginable. Podemos tomarnos el corazón en consistentemente engañar al fracaso, unperturbed simply working toward our stated goals, and be supported by our acquired habits of excellence.
Our reward is not just a destination, but a state of mind that accepts nothing less than our best effort. Esta mente sin trabas nos mantendrá sin dudar en nosotros mismos, no false negative thought habits, and any other arbitrary restrictions to be found, both others and ourselves.
The “failure”, then, is not a precondition, or any foregone conclusion. Simply continues to be a challenge but a cultivated mindset, and reinforced habits of excellence can easily handle. They can even become an asset class, by redirecting negative energy of frustration, in a positive flow of creativity and innovation. We become what we think most of the time, said the late Earl Nightingale. When you choose to view life's challenges as lessons, can always enjoy learning exciting ways to grow and prosper. If you do not start now, When do you think it would be a good time to start?
The obstacles have always been objects of fear, monstrous and intimidating that we notice only when we take our eyes of our goals. Let us not be easily deter and disrupt foolishly. Staying focused and consistent, our case “failure” decrease, and our “successes” will be more common, natural and expected. We were created, and therefore intended, a hacer y a no ser menos. As O Sensei.
