I Will Persist Until I Succeed

I will persist until I succeed. I was not delivered into this world into defeat, nor does failure course my veins. I am not a sheep waiting to be prodded by my shepherd. I am a lion, and I refuse to walk, talk, and to sleep with the sheep. I will persist until I succeed. - OG MANDINO

6 Benefits Of Failure

Fall and Get Up: 6 Benefits of Failure

While failure can be a disheartening experience, it’s certainly not a useless one. Everyone will fail at something in their lives – they may even fail at the same task numerous times before they actually master it.

Failure is a part of the process, and while you may not see it as beneficial on the surface, there’s a lot of value underneath it all.

1.      You’ll Gain Experience

Every time you attempt a task, you’re gaining experience. This is true whether you fail or succeed.

You’ll gain more experience with repetitive failed attempts. Over time, the experience will make the task easier for you.

Failing a few times can help you succeed.

2.      You’ll Discover Your Strengths and Weaknesses

What part of the project are you the best at? It’s unlikely you’re having difficulty with all of it.

There may be a few areas in which you really shine. If you learn your strengths during the process, you’ll be able to apply them more efficiently.

Identifying where you could use some help will allow you to isolate and develop on your weaknesses.

3.      You’ll Learn to Innovate

Why did you fail? This is a question you need to be able to answer objectively.

Along the way, there was some part of the project that wasn’t working.

Either the method was inefficient, or it was counter-intuitive to your abilities. See if you can plan a second attempt at the project where you can work around the bumps in the road.

With creative thinking, you can accomplish anything.

4.      You’ll Determine How to Use Your Time

The parts of the project that didn’t work out were ultimately a waste of your time.

You can’t get that time back, but learning what went wrong can help you budget your time better in the future.

Did you need to spend a whole day focusing on one aspect of the project that would only fall through? Probably not. You’ll be able to find more efficient ways to accomplish more with less time.

5.      You Can Unlearn Counterproductive Lessons

You may have failed because of the way you were trained to approach certain tasks.

If your mindset was all wrong, it veered you away from success.

Think about the lessons you’ve been taught that you applied to the project. It may be time to unlearn those lessons, finding new ways to approach the same issues with better finesse.

6.      You’ll Build a Stronger Resolve

You need to accept that sometimes failure is inevitable. Maybe you tried before you were truly ready, or you didn’t have enough knowledge going into a task.

Failure is a natural part of life, and it will affect everyone.

Allowing yourself to feel defeated won’t get you anywhere.

Always recognize that failure is a possibility – you just can’t let it stop you.

Letting go of your fear of failure will provide you with the freedom to try new things.

If they don’t work out, you know you can always pull yourself up by your bootstraps and give it another go.

Think about all of your heroes. Even the people who are the best at what they do have had to fail countless times to get to where they are now.

They never let failure stand in their way, and neither should you.

Don’t stifle your talent.

Keep learning and growing.

No More Excuses

If you're like me, I'm sure you agree it's high time the average Nigerian took some responsibility and attempted to regain control of their financial destiny.

But here's the thing...

Most Nigerians believe that they can vote for some politician, or speak to their union rep, or complain to their boss, and their problems will magically disappear.

Most people are too busy begging for handouts to notice the solution right under their noses.

And that's why I'm writing today.

You see, today, I'd like to remind you that you've played this game of number far too long and that now is the time to take back control of your life, and claim control of your financial destiny.

If you're like most people, I know there are probably some circumstances outside your control that are holding you back from getting everything you deserve in life.

Maybe your parents, or your teachers, or your grandparents never taught you about money.

Maybe you've never been paid what you're worth.

Maybe, like most of us, you lost a lot of money in 2008.

None of these things is your fault. But if you're going to get your life back on track, it is your responsibility to do something about it.

That's where this write up comes in...

Today, I want to ask you to drop all excuses. Look all those lies and excuses and reasons and alibis you have told yourself over the years, in the face and tell them to GO TO HELL.

Today, you need to claim back that which is yours and the only way to do it is BY DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

Doing something about anything starts with "doing"

If you want a new thing, then you MUST do a new thing to get it; you cannot get a new thing by doing the old thing that had not helped you in any way at all.

And for me, doing actually starts with what I call the DPA

If you don't know what the acronym DPA stands for, then don't forget to keep in touch with us morrow when we shall write on the DPA.

But for today, get up from your stupor and claim your life back

A wish for a wonderful day to you
