Success Vs. Failure

When you really, really want to be successful, the one thing you may fear most is failure.  Do not be afraid!  I have a link with 10 reasons why most people are major failure.  Hint: Don’t do/be those things!!

“The only person holding you back is you.  No more excuses, it’s time to change.  It’s time to live life at a new level!”

This next link gives you nine daily routines and rituals of highly successful people.  Read and ponder which person you are most similar to or maybe combine a few.  Pick out some tips and make a routine for success of your own!  Obviously, your schedule will be different because I assume you are not an author, an inventor, a music composer, AND the President!!  Hopefully you can grasp my concept though.

~Warning: some rituals are a little funky!

I hope you got some knowledge from those and you can start off on your way to becoming successful!

This is a follow up from our last post on following your dreams.  Jim Carrey gives this great speech and includes a personal story about his dad.  The main lesson to take away from this is to forget about security and safety and do something that you love and that makes you happy!!

Commonly Mistaken

"People aren't against you; they're for themselves."-unknown

This quote has actually helped me a lot in many situations.  I have also passed this quote on to others in situations where it would be helpful.  For example my friend had an art review where worthy professors had to criticize his artwork projects from over the years and tell him if he should still be in the art program.  It seems like a pretty intense, nerve-wracking situation!  I use this quote in a little different context, but I reminded him that they don't want to see him fail.  The professors are going to constructively tell him the truth to help him.  They aren't going to be mean just to be mean, they want to see him succeed!  That helped him a lot because he knew they weren't there to break him down, they were there for good reasons and he didn't need to be nervous.

When going into an interview, or having to give a speech, don't be nervous!  People listening and in the crowd want to see you do well and thrive!

Praise vs. Criticism

Scott Young has a great blog and this is one post he had that is very interesting.  It is like the thought, "You can't have good without having bad." They go hand in hand.  This is the same concept but it is with praise and criticism.
He writes about how to not overly take praise to heart and get too confident because that leads to laziness.  When you take praise in deeply, you will take in criticism deeply and that can really effect your efforts and outcomes!
He has a few tips he goes into detail on such as 'Stop caring what others think of yourself,' and 'Start caring what you think of yourself,' and lastly, how the ideal state of mind is 'humble confidence.'
