Not posting much tonight . . .

Since we were talking about how to turn failure into success previously, I thought I would point you over to a post on Jim Estill’s CEO Blog Time Leadership.

Jim being A CEO of a large corporation, there is a lot I can learn from him. Here is an excerpt from his post today just to let you see how certain attitudes shape your decision making.

Dealing With Failure - by Jim Estill

Failure is a success if we learn from it. – Malcolm Forbes

In a recent interview, I was asked what my biggest failure was. Interesting, I could not come up with just one. I believe one of my biggest reasons for success is that I fail more often than most people.

It goes with my “Fail often, fail fast, fail cheap”.

It goes with “you only fail from not trying - not from trying”.

And having a failure, does not make you a failure . . .

Now . . . if the CEO of a major corporation can say that he fails from time to time, then what excuse do I have? Check out the rest of Jim’s Blog post at: Dealing With Failure

Now it is easy to see that Jim’s confidence levels are pretty high in his competence to persist, enough so that a “failure”, is not allowed to affect his self esteem at it’s basic level.

Another post today over at Dave Navarro’s Million Dollar Leverage Blog about Self Confidence and how it can change for you instantly, rather than take a long time, just by changing your focus.

Check out Dave’s Blog post: How I Boosted My Confidence . . .

I think that we must have confidence in ourselves and realize that failure is just part of the trip, not the destination. It is the goal that is our destination, and we can achieve it by allowing ourself to see past the failures.

I have always been one for enjoying the journey as well as the destination, but sometimes we just have to Focus on the prize, not the process . . .
