What is defeat? Nothing but education; nothing but the first step to something better." ~Wendell Phillips
Is that the way your view Defeat or Failure? It's not that way for most people. I had a chance to experience this first hand...as someone objected to my posts and reported me to Facebook. Interesting...it has required me to re-write this post and make it even better!
Defeat is nothing more than an education. It is nothing more than a learning experience. Do you see that when things don't go your way? Do you see that when you experience the thing that we call failure? I hope so. Henry Ford said that "Failure is only the opportunity to begin again more intelligently." Now that's the way to look at defeat/failure. Don Shula said, "Failure is never fatal or final." Do you look at failure that way? Too many people give up when they face failure and giving up is THE ONLY WAY to failure!
Defeat is nothing more than the first step to something better. Wow, can you look at defeat that way? I'm sure that is the way that Edison looked at his invention of the light bulb. He focused on what it would do for the world and not that it took him so many times to figure it out. What are you focusing on, the defeat or the learning experience?
How do you look at defeat or failure? If you are having trouble overcoming a past defeat, realize that something better awaits you...only if you are looking for it. We get what we are expecting and what we look for. If you get bad stuff and it keeps happening, STOP looking for and expecting it. Change your focus!

Wow! Winget just slaps you in the face with the truth! Are you focused on making a living or making a life?? Are you really? Most people are just trying to get by, making a living. Be a winner! Focus on making a life!!I think that most of us started out to make a life, but then life got in the way and now we are just focused on making a living. To pay the bills, to take care of things, to take that vacation...When people ask you "how are you doing?" do you answer with "I'm just paying the bills?" If so, that's all you will ever do. Especially in this economy, when it seems as if everyone is just trying to survive, You need to change your outlook!Get clear on what you want out of life and then go after it. Most people don't get what they want because they aren't clear or don't have any idea what they want. Get clear now!!Know. Be Known. Make A Difference!"Losers focus on making a living.

"All the water in the world cannot drown you unless it gets inside of you.” ~Eleanor Roosevelt
No matter what the problem, financial situation, history or whatever difficulty is around you --let it be around you. It's a circumstance. It's around you but is not meant to control or determine your attitude. Are you letting it control your attitude?
Our attitude comes from our state of mind, and the state of our heart. Let us keep our mind and our heart focused on gratitude and appreciation. Gratitude is a harmonious vibration with abundance. When you are grateful, you get more things to be grateful about.
All the water in the world can be around us and we can float on top of it, swim in it and play in it. It doesn't have to drown us because we view it only as a circumstance, something that can't control our attitudes...unless we let it.
Action:
Realize that circumstances can't control your attitude or actions. It is a choice that you have as to how to deal with each circumstance. Don't let it negatively affect you.

"Losers focus on making a living. Winners focus on making a life."~Larry Winget
Wow, Winget just slaps you in the face with the truth! Are you focused on making a living or making a life?? Are you really? I know when things get bad that we just try to ride out the storm and we are just focused on making ends meet. That's NOT making a life! That's playing small!!
I think that most of us started out to make a life, but then life got in the way and now we are just focused on making a living. To pay the bills, to take care of things, to take that vacation...When people ask you "how are you doing?" do you answer with "I'm just paying the bills?" If so, that's all you will ever do. You need to change your outlook! You need to focus on making a life.
How can you start to be focused on making a life? Start out by defining what you want in your life. And then start going after those things! Too many people stay stuck in thinking about what they don't want in their life and that's why they never get what they do want.
Action:
Get clear on what you want out of life and then go after it. Most people don't get what they want because they aren't clear or don't have any idea what they want. Get clear now!!

"Life's strict rule is this: You get more of what you focus on. Ignoring this, we abandon our healthiest, concentrative energies and court emotional upheaval." ~Marsha Sinetar
What you focus on, you get more of!!! So why are you still focused on the negative, the problem or the challenge? It's because we were programmed that way. You can break out of that programming but it takes time and effort, things that most of us don't want to give. We want to change right now and we don't want to do anything that will require effort on our part. Just give me a pill or something...
I don't think that we ignore this rule, but we sometimes forget and the same problems keep coming back. Your programming controls everything and even when your conscious mind is thinking one thing, your (subconscious) programming is thinking just the opposite. That's why it's so hard to make changes in our life. We think that we can change, but until the programming is changed, nothing happens and we just get upset and give up.
Keep working on your programming. It's the only way to really make any change. Any real changes.
