Failure Is Not An Option

"Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up." - Thomas Alva Edison

Some people say that "Not only is failure an option, it is often the best one." If you are not looking to complete a task, sure this works, but you are not going to get the results you want- unless you want to sabotage your efforts.

You can read all the self help books that will put you in the right mind set. That will give you the skills you need to reprogram your brain to think differently.

"Failure is Not an Option" is a quotation from the movie by mission control flight commander, Gene Kranz during the Apollo 13 crisis in 1970. We have all used the phrase at sometime. When failure is not an option, means that you are committed to doing whatever it takes to succeed. Failure is often the path to new, exciting opportunities that would not have appeared otherwise.

Too many people live their lives in doubt with worry. They are afraid. People use, "what if", in a negative sense when they are afraid of failing. What if it goes wrong? What if it does not work out? Worry and fear do not produce success, only failure. Refuse to be afraid. You can be successful when failure is not an option!

People become frozen with fear and they either take no action, or take action while expecting the worse. That is an absolute formula for failure.

Do Not Quit

Do not give up- The most successful people fail well and fail gracefully. But they called failure a "learning experience." Both Thomas Edison and Henry Ford had hundreds of -learning experiences- until they got the specific results they wanted.

Ready for the good news? When you eliminate the option of failure, you open up the flow of creativity, you boost your level of willpower, and you energize your thinking so that only those things that lead to success can control your mind. Once you accomplish that, the only viable alternative is to make it, and make it big!

Understand that Success Is An Option Too and choose to focus on success. Success has much more of an appeal to keep in mind.

"Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm."

-Sir Winston Churchill
