@Julie Walraven – Yes, when that happens, that “repetitive” chain needs to be broken because it indicates that there’s some key Personal Development opportunity that is being ignored.

@Robin Dickinson – That’s what I always tell myself when someone (seemingly) ignores my wise words

@Ching Ya – “have the courage to get back up is the successful choice we shall always have” – I love this. This should be a phrase that everyone keeps in the back of their minds always.

Thank you for visiting and hope to see you here again soon!

‘Success is not an “all-at-once-amazing-mind-blowing-results” thing’ — I believe it’s the multiple process that got us where we are today. We can’t really decide which is the true failing point for it may be what’s needed to bring us to a greater success we ever imagined. To respect each phase in life, have the courage to get back up is the successful choice we shall always have. For the same reason, I’m glad to say I have yet gave up blogging.

Nice meeting you Reeta. Have found your site from your comment at Chris’s article earlier.

That’s an important distinction, Reeta.

I would add that we who are strong have a responsibility to guide and signpost failure’s positive power to those experiencing a tough season.

They may not be able to hear or accept it at the time, but later they will remember your wise counsel. It will lead them ever closer to applying the wisdon in their own life.

Shine on, Robin

Hi Reeta, your comments on my blog post made me realize that we must have been thinking much alike today. I think making successful choices is critical when you make a career move. I agree with Robin that failure isn’t something to be feared but repetitive bad career moves or even life moves start affecting your options (future choices). You all give me lots to ponder.

Nicely put Robin… I’d add that failure does those things when you are able to be open to recognising and acting upon the potential within it.

It’s particularly hard to ACT on failure as feedback when you’re depressed or at some other low. Which is why it’s useful to start practising the success habit when you’re strong (or during the stronger moments if you’re already low), so it can carry you through the bad times without that intense emotional battering.

Hi Reeta,

I make a choice. I succeed. I feel good.

I make a different choice. I fail. I feel bad.

I make any choice. I feel good.

Surely we can choose to feel good irrespective of our choices. Isn’t it what we associate failure to mean?

Why does failure have to feel bad?

Failure can be the fast-track to success;

Failure teaches patience;

Failure stimulates creativity;

Failure honours humility;

Failure reveals my whole-self;

Failure contains the ego;

Failure is the sweetener of success.

To fail is to succeed.

Best to you, Robin

Hi Linda – Yes, measuring a response is a great way to evaluate where a choice fits in to your life.

It’s got me thinking about those choices that are made so quickly that there’s no time for weighing pros and cons. I’d love to know your thoughts on turning around decisions made on impulse or habit.

Thanks for dropping by Linda and hope to see you again.

Great article, Reeta. You are absolutely right when about making the right choices and will consequently result in success or failure for you. There’s no right formula in making the right choices. Just try to weigh the pros and cons; do the benefits outweigh the bad? If it does, then you’d probably made the right choice. Conversely, if the negative outweighs the bad, then think twice. Follow what your intuition tells you; this rarely fails you.
