Getting a PHD, on 'failure...'

Blog quote #896 & 897

"Make failure your teacher, not your undertaker." -Zig Ziglar-

"We get very little wisdom from success." -William Saroyan- 

Today a 2- fer on Failure and Success.

Zig reminds us not to let failure be the death of us, but simply learn from it's lessons. There is always a message to be received from a letdown or disappointment. Look for that needle in the haystack.

Similarly, Saroyan  suggests that when we win, we don't always learn much, versus when we go down in  defeat or failure--we look a bit harder at the films. We think a tad longer what we could have done different. We practice new/different things that might spur on a more positive outcome, next time.

So, both scholars here are telling us to utilize a temporary setback as just that-temporary-and to be certain to get an education from it. Class in session...

A success tip, from the SWAMI...

Blog quote #894...
"Put your heart mind and soul into even your smallest acts. This, is the secret of success." - Swami Sivananda-  

A nice Sunday tip from the Swami.
Not sure if it is THEE secret to success, but if put into practice...will certainly help. It is an excellent habit to form. If you decide to do something, dive in good and deep. 

Another famous saying that agrees with the Swami is 'Anything worth doing, is worth doing well.' Get after it!

Always walk Forward, not in Reverse...

Blog quote #892...
"I'm a slow walker, but I never walk backward." - Abraham Lincoln-  

Honest Abe...what did he mean by this?

We think he was saying,  as long as you make progress, that's a winner. Keep moving forward, regardless of pace; as long as you continue to do so you are gaining on something. 

As the turtle often reminds us-- Slow and steady wins the race.  Keep moving, keep doing. In the end, you'll be stunned, just how far you've come.

One of Life's Great Rules...

Blog quote #891...
"One of life's great rules is this: The more you give, the more you get." - William H Danforth-  

We're not sure WHY this is, as we didn't set up the universe of  life rules or laws of physics. The reality is, that this seems to ring truer and truer the longer we live on this planet. 

So...do what you choose to with this advice from Mr Danforth. Our suggestion--do more giving! Not because you'll get more, but because it flat out feels great to give! The 'getting' is just cherries on top that aren't even necessary, but a pleasant extra.

Don't be AFRAID of this...

Blog quote #890...
"Don't be afraid of your fears. They're not there to scare you. They're there to let you know that something is worth it." - C.Joy Bell-  

I love it. Fear isn't there to scare you, but basically to remind you on the importance or credence of something. That it's worthy of paying close attention. 

A nice interpretation of that  'intimidating' word. Puts a better, more refreshing perspective now, doesn't it?
