Getting Back On Your Feet

Getting Back On Your Feet

Everyone of us do have experiences [I had tons of it] in life WHEN things DON'T go as planned OR expected.  BUT being able to adapt to situations is a really valuable skill.  And WHILE it is indeed difficult to wade through WHEN it happens, once you've picked yourself back up, past failures can motivate you to do an even much better job the next time around.  As everyone says, 'FAILURE IS THE INEVITABLE PRICE OF TRYING TO DO SOMETHING'.  And indeed, that forces you to be even more creative as you look for new ways to approach a specific pursuit in life.  BUT can we agree that to Getting Back On Your Feet, we need an INSPIRATION but let's admit it, finding INSPIRATION from FAILURE is often easier said than done📗📙📘

I can easily relate myself to this dilemma during those times in the past when I was like near that 'gutter level', so near to the drainage that I could have been easily flushed out by just a normal water flow, without for torrential rains and flash floods to flush me out.  So, you might ask, HOW did I pick up the pieces?  First and foremost, I had to OWN UP to all my misses, my lapses, my shortfalls.  That was some of my toughest times in my life BUT I had to summon the remaining energy and fortitude 'LEFT IN MY TANK' for me to GET BACK ON MY FEET'.  Hard as it may be, I had to recognize that there was NO other way for me to resuscitate things💚💛💜

WHAT is it most psychologists are expecting from us when we are in the doledrums?  Being able to recognize a FAILURE means that you'll be able to re-cast it into something more likely to succeed.  FAILURE teaches you WHAT DOESN'T work, in fact.  Oh, I often hear this:  YOU NEED A SHOT IN THE ARM.  And this reminds us to remember our PAST SUCCESSES.  True, you FAILED this time BUT that is just a piece of a bigger picture💦💦💦

So, experts are counselling us that instead of dwelling on WHERE you went WRONG, remember all the times WHEN things went right.  And find a way to learn from your latest mistake in the same way you've learned from other ones.  And WHAT could be a much better 'ICING ON THE CAKE' than you yourself TAKING ACTION.  Once you've accepted your FAILURE, it's important to make decisions about WHAT you'll do next, because SIMPLY DOING NOTHING will only keep you stagnated WHERE you are💥💥💥

Our takeaway:  It's easier said than done but similar to a RESET or a REBOOT, So your NEXT STEP DOESN'T have to be BIG.  Sometimes, a small CHANGE can become a major turning point.  WHEN other people talk about their careers, it can seem AS IF everything was part of a grand plan.  BUT that is rarely true.  Try just going with something and see WHERE it takes you, dude😊😊😊
