The subtitle of James Altuscher’s book ‘Choose Yourself’ is – ‘Be Happy, Live the Dream.’ The author told the readers, don’t believe me, but do believe yourself. This argument in favor of self-confidence has won the book the love of millions of readers.
Taking full potential
Life is the name of decisions. A better life is one in which we have many options to make better decisions. Ask yourself, do you find yourself in a position to make the decisions you want? There is an old saying that do not keep all the eggs in one basket, otherwise you will lose all of them together. The same applies to you too. Don’t base all your choices on a single source. Be on the lookout for opportunities. Always remember that if you are stuck in one place and working under some compulsion then you will not be in a position to exploit your full potential.
Be a Winner, Not a Victim
You wanted to achieve something, you tried, you failed. What will you do now? Life is like a football match, played at a fast pace. In that we do not have enough time to mourn the lost opportunities. If we sit down to mourn, we will miss out on new opportunities as well. Don’t try to show yourself the victim. Be a winner.
Another Great Opportunity
Remember your childhood days. How many times did you fall when you were learning to walk? What would have happened if you had stopped trying to walk after the first fall? There is no one who has never failed. But only those who keep trying are successful. Think that the opportunity that passed you by has made room for an even better one.
Don’t keep making excuses
We love to make excuses, because it allows us to shirk responsibility. But it doesn’t work. Life will never get better if you are afraid of trying something new. Take action. If you stumble, then be careful.
Value the process
The problem is we want overnight results. Whereas all the wonderful things that have happened in the world have taken many years to materialize. Appreciate the process and the struggles, celebrate the small achievements, and when you do, thank the process that got you where you are. Change the way you look at success.
