Personal Development: the motivation of failing

It is unwise to do the same thing you have been doing, in the same way but to expect a different result. Failing is an opportunity to get better. In fact it is part of life and an important segment of one's learning curve. It usually informs us that something is wrong, could get wrong or needs our attention. It serves as a caution alert to prevent further damage, induces improvement or a turn in the opposite direction. After having done all you know to do and still failed, it is better to sit down and think so you can get a way out. Personal development is a life time activity, you keep on keeping on, so you don't become outdated.

If all that everyone does is rated high then the world will be filled with mediocre. So you must take on the challenge of improving and motivating yourself all the way to the top. You must learn to get the inspiration to turn things around. A child trying to walk does not try once and gets walking at first trial. He must fall and stand and try again many times until he starts walking. That's nature teaching us not to give up. The challenge is we feel, we are now adult and give in to pressure around us that can turn one to "Jack of all trades but master of none". It is important to note that all human have areas of strenght. I mean there is an area of human endeavour that you are good and expectional in. Can you try and remember something you learnt to do and was fun. Do you know you made many trials and attempts but possibly because you have a passion for it, you keep at it. So it is good to develop a passion for any thing you are involved in, it turn attempt to a hobby or delight.

As a matter of fact failing or failure is relative. I mean it depends on individual. A man may consider himself a failure because he is making $50,000 annually while someone making $10,000 might see himself as a great success. It depend on ones vision and faith. Do believe you have the capability to do more.

You need to listen to listen to motivational speakers, read inspirational quotes, books ans stories. Attend personal development seminars and trainings. You need a life coach or mentor. If your company has a way of encouraging employee motivation, let it inspire you to develop every areas of your life adn if not go all out for inspiration by yourself. Personal development is a choice because the personthat gets better fotr it is YOU.

History is filled with men and women who motivated themsevles to go get going despite their failures. Abraham Lincoln despites failing in his political pursuits became the President of America. The Incandescent bulb came after many failed experiment. Thomas Edison said - I didnt fail I only laernt how the incandesent lamp cannot be produced.

Fail forward don't remain at a spot learn and move on. There are more in front of you than there is in your past.
