Motivation towards disappointments

Finding motivation towards disappointments seems to derive from our perceptions and how we respond to circumstances placed before us.

There are many phrases and words we come across through experiencing disappointments in life, particularly business and workplace professions, even a school or Universities , we often hear words such as:

FAILURE — if we do not complete a task set out by ourselves or for ourselves, we often experience disappointments and bring about negative thoughts of misery and the fact that we failed at doing something we were sure about.

END- Maybe we didn’t get the final grade we wanted, or the final result from work, perhaps even losing a job or promotion, and we think that it’s the END OF THE WORLD! , right?

NO- A common phrase , used to destroy ones dreams, promoting limitations , towards what we could or could not do, If you were so excited an opportunity , and someone said NO, and do not give it a second thought, it sometimes hurts us , doesn’t it?

BUT, in all that is has been stated by the many disappointments, construed by a mere few phrases, how could we draw motivation from similar situations and change our attitude and perspective towards the way we react to people and the negative ways they say it?

Well these 3 acrostics reassure me, and hope they will reassure you:

FAIL- The concept of FAIL to me describes our:

First

Attempt

In

Learning.

If you Pass or win, then you gain success. But if you lose, FAIL and make mistakes, you gain Wisdom.

END- Its never the end if you have put so much effort into something. We reap what we sow, and Perserverance always conquers and never fades. So when we feel we are hitting a plateau, remember:

Effort

Never

Dies

NO- If we are rejected by any chance and are faced with a NO, let us view that as us being one step closer to a YES. A ‘no’ simply opens us up to our:

Next

Opportunity

The No’s that we receive have only set us up for our next opportunity to receive a YES in Life! :D

So let us not allow negative occurrences and words said towards us dominate our thoughts. We must renew our minds so that situations such as this doesn’t limit the blessings we are capable of receiving. And let us be mindful of our emotions.
