Do You Fail to Succeed, or Fail to PLAN?

How often do you personally do this, or observe others following this type of behavior?: Something goes in a less than optimal manner, and you focus on your bad luck, lack of success, or complain about how unfair it is since you worked, and/ or tried so hard. While from a self - protective perspective that may make us temporarily feel somewhat better or relieve some of that notorious steam, the reality is invariably that when we either resort to blaming others or situations, we are nearly always doing ourselves an injustice by succumbing to weakness. The only true way to maximize one's chances to be a success in anything is committing to, and mastering the art and science of developing and using a PLAN!

1. Before beginning, one must consider, understand, and perceive of the true purpose that one wishes to achieve. When was the last time you took the time and made the effort to understand and create priorities, and then go forward in a directed manner towards developing well - thought out programs. This effort is rarely always easy, but is essential for success, and thus must be done with a continuous persistence and the mindset to persevere.

2. No one ever gets his desired results every time! However, the most successful individuals always learn lessons from their experiences. The adage that one must make mistakes to accomplish is only true if one truly learns from these mistakes, and does not repeat them. Successful performance and achievement nearly always accompanies the desire to lead by example (practice what one preaches).

3. When a positive and helpful attitude is combined with, and used in unison with constantly seeking the optimal aptitude, he will approach things with the mindset and willingness to proceed with timely action. Only when these are done with synergy, will one have the best opportunity to succeed to the highest degree.

4. Do you take the time to know needs (both yours as well as others that you interact with), and have you developed the inner strength and fortitude that is needed? When one commits to the never give up perspective, he will persist while others surrender. Many great achievements and accomplishes have occurred predominantly because someone continued to seek answers and solutions, while lesser individuals surrendered. This often requires a truly nuanced approach, where the understanding and approach is not the one - size - fits - all type, but rather that each circumstance has its individual circumstances, etc.

You can either blame others or circumstances because you failed to accomplish what you believed you should have, or you can commit to consistently plan. When this planning includes contingency plans, one potentiates his possibilities! This mindset and approach works in all lines of work/ endeavor, whether you work for someone else, or are an independent contractor, whether you are a laborer or a professional. It's up to you, so begin to plan!
