Having the ability to keep trying when things seem impossible, to push past our comfort zone, to not give up when it gets difficult, almost always leads to success. The great thing about the idea of not giving up is just that…it’s an idea! It requires no higher education, no monetary investment and no formal training. The only thing required is a change in mindset. Now of course that is always easier said than done, but the fact is that we already have that don’t give up mindset within us, we just need to rediscover and develop it. It’s the same mindset we were all given from birth that we used to be able to learn how to walk. It’s only as we got older that we allowed struggles, setbacks and failures to diminish that mindset and found that giving up is easier than being patient and pushing through. So, knowing we are already equipped with the right tools is half the battle, the other half will be making use of it as it was intended, to achieve our goals.
One of the main ingredients to developing the don’t give up mindset is setting smaller, manageable, attainable goals. What we’ll find by achieving the small goals is that each small goal will lead to and build up to a larger goal. The small steps taken to reach the smaller goals will help to give us the motivation and confidence we’ll need to keep moving us forward. Not every step will be successful we have to be prepared to experience some failures along the way. The thing to remember is to keep a positive mental attitude and realize that we can learn from our failures. Failing at something is not the end, it’s actually the beginning. Failing is the opportunity to start over again more intelligently by learning from our mistakes, making adjustments and trying again. The most successful people we know are also the ones who have had the most failures. There simply cannot be success without failure. Failure is a part of the process for success. So, failure is not something we should fear, but something we should expect if we want to be successful in anything we do.
Just because we feel as though we don’t have the natural talent to be good at something, doesn’t mean we can’t be successful at it. Will it take more failure? Will it take more work to learn and persevere? Sure! But, even when we use our natural strengths to pursue something, we will still be challenged and face failures. So, whether we build on our natural talents or not, failure will always be a part of the process. The only difference will be the number of challenges and failures we will have to overcome. Either way, the right mindset to not give up is always the same. Success rarely comes easy and those that make it look easy do so because of how they respond and react to their setbacks and challenges. We all have that same ability to choose the right mindset for how we respond and react to our failures. So, set your financial goals, choose the mindset of growth by anticipating and learning from failure, keep moving forward and…DON’T GIVE UP!
