Assessing The Values That Contributed To Failure
A personal development blog that uses the word failure, that is almost a cardinal sin. In fact I am sure I will get emails from people telling me that by talking and thinking about failure I am attracting failure. My answer to that is “that’s a load of crap”!
Do you think that Anthony Robbins has never had a negative thought or made a negative comment in his life?
Do you really think the path to success is to think only positively?
I personally believe that a blend of positive and negative thinking is inevitable for everyone, all you need to do is ensure that you have more positive thoughts than negative.
So with that said today, we are going to expand on the exercise you did as part of the Values Change Overtime post. Today I want you to take 10 minutes to sit down and reflect on some of your previous failures. I want you to visualise that time in your life and reflect on the values you had and how they affected your decision making at that time.
Upon completing this exercise you will have written down a value system that achieves failure and a value system that achieves success for you. This system will be different for everyone so it’s important that you do this individually.
