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.
The Key to Success
Just because you feel as though you don’t have the natural talent to be good at something, doesn’t mean you can’t be successful at it. Will it take more failure? Will it take more work to learn and persevere? Sure! But, even when you use your natural strengths to pursue something, you will still be challenged and face failures. The key to all success is to not give up.
So, whether you build on your natural talents or not, failure will always be a part of the process. The only difference will be the number of challenges and failures you will have to overcome. And no matter how many there are, the only way to overcome them is all in how you choose look at it. By looking at them as lessons to be learned, you can make adjustments to your mistakes and try again.
“Slow, steady progress is better than daily excuses.” – Robin Sharma
No matter what, the right mindset to not give up is always the same. Learn from your failures, make adjustments, try again, rinse and repeat. And don’t compare your progress to the progress of someone else. Especially those who make it look easy. 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.
Always remember that you have that same ability to choose the right mindset for how you respond and react to your failures. Keep in mind that it’s more like a marathon and not a sprint, just keep making forward progress and you’ll get there. Set your financial goals, choose the mindset of growth by anticipating and learning from failure, keep moving forward and…DON’T GIVE UP!
