What Goes Through Your Mind
What goes through your mind when you screw up?
Do you feel “Woe is me” thoughts? Thoughts of “I screwed up again” while mentally beating yourself?
Or do you feel thoughts of picking yourself up and moving on.
I think the difference between the two is what separates those who succeed and those who squander their talents (we all have exceptional talents).
There’s a stark difference in the two mental paths.
One takes you down a dark hole, while the other picks you up and forges your resolve that you’re going to get it done no matter what.
Here’s the thing…
We all screw up and most of us screw up royally and often.
If you were to ask every single person who’s attained a high level of success if they’ve screwed up, or failed, they will all tell you, without a shadow of a doubt “Yes! I’ve failed more times than I’ve succeeded!”
The difference between them and those who don’t succeed is that they didn’t let failure, or screw ups, bring them down and take them down the dark rabbit hole.
They picked themselves up and moved on. Scratch that - they all learned something in those failures and used those failures as they picked themselves up and moved on.
You are going to succeed - you have a tremendous level of talent and I think you know it.
Don’t be afraid to screw up.
We all screw up and sometimes we fuck up royally.
But don’t let your head hang when that happens. Instead own your mistake/failure, figure out where you went wrong and then move forward. Always move forward.
