Every obstacle you face gives you the opportunity to learn and grow.
Every time you face a setback and learn, you grow .
Trials and tribulations are meant to build character.
No one likes problems, but we can’t afford to run away from them although some can be avoided .
No one wakes up and says I hope I get into trouble today even though people do things that get them into trouble
Some people do things knowing the consequence but even then, they don’t want to deal with the repercussions.
There are things we can’t avoid, like making mistakes.
Making honest mistakes is different from repeating the mistakes .
You shouldn’t bash yourself for failing, but do hold yourself accountable .
Holding yourself accountable is a good discipline and a skillet .
It’s not about bashing yourself ,it is about learning and growing.
Every disappointment you face should be used as a stepping stone .
Failure gives you the opportunity to expand your knowledge .
Some people fail and give up instead of pivoting and learning .
People have made failing such a big issue to the point where failing is viewed as shameful .
Small-minded people are the only ones bashing people for not knowing .
You will never have the answers for everything, hence why you ask questions and do your own research .
No matter how good you are, no one is exempt from difficulty .
Don’t create problems for yourself, but face them head-on
Give yourself permission to fail
.The only people condeming you for failing are people who produce very little or nothing at all
Losing can be humiliating, but if you learn in the midst of your losses you grow ..
No one wants to lose however it’s not the end of the world when you do .
Take pride and ownership in the fact that you are entitled to make mistakes.
Mistakes open the door and the opportunity to learn and grow
I am not saying you can’t learn without making mistakes but sometimes you can .
You become wiser when you learn from other people’s mistakes.
I’ve failed and I have been rejected multiple times, but that just gives me the fuel I need to do better.
I don’t assume to know it all because I know that if I do assume to know it all, I’ll fall from grace swiftly .
I have pride and ego, but that doesn’t stop me from listening and learning.
You have got to listen to learn, and you’ve got to learn in order to grow.
Take ownership
Never deflect and point fingers 👉 because there’s always a few that points back at you .
Set backs are not death sentences .
Don’t come down too hard on yourself
Things aren’t always going to go how you expect them to , you’ll win some, and you’ll lose some but that’s a part of life .
Learn from your wins too
It’s important to learn from your wins .
When you win, you need to analyze and understand about the things that fundamentally put you in that position so that you can build upon them ..
I call it going from strength to strength.
Conclusion
Mike Tyson was riding high and winning everything until he got complacent .
Mike never learned to appreciate the formula that he used to make him such a fierce competitor.
He fell in love with the results and not the process, hence why it was so easy for Busta Douglas to knock him out and hand him his first defeat .
Continue learning and continue fighting 💪. Focus on the process, and before you know it, you’ll be in a position to win .
