“However difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at.” — Stephen Hawking

Thoughts on Today’s Quote

Does it ever feel like everything you touch just doesn’t go right? No matter what you do, what you try, nothing succeeds?

I think we all have times like that. For some, it is longer than others. The more our efforts seem to be met with brick walls, the less we feel about ourself. If we’re not aware of the effect our lack of success is having on us, it wont be long that even trying will become an effort.

When I find myself in the middle of a nothing is going right time in my life, I sit down, take a few deep breaths and think hard on anything that has gone right. No matter how small it may be. I think on how I got that right, I make it grow in my mind to something bigger than life. Doing so helps to restore some self-esteem and clear the mind of the negative energy from not succeeding.

Having built some positive energy back into my thinking, I then start examining other successes from the past. I look for patterns. What did I do to make that a success? What actions did I take? What mindset did I have as I succeeded?

Then, and only then, I start to examine what has recently gone wrong. Does it change my life? Would its success make my life better? Do I need to do a redo? Can I make it succeed?

Not everything we try in life has to succeed. It’s important to know what you can do and succeed. It’s also important to know why the success matters in your life.

I’m learning to succeed on Steemit because it will change my life for the better. Building an income from STEEM will make my life easier and let me focus more on my success and less on what I don’t have.

We become what we focus on. Finding what you can succeed at and focusing on that will lead you to greater success.

Where is your focus? Is it on your successes? Or your failures?
