"I have never failed at anything in my life" - nobody will take you seriously if you say this. I never thought I could say that about myself either as I thought I could fill up books with list of things I have "failed" in. So why did I choose this as the title of this article? I was reminiscing one day on my life and what I have achieved (not what I have failed at) and it suddenly struck me that I have succeeded in anything I had wanted to succeed at. The new revelation dawned on me when I started analyzing why I had succeeded at certain things and then came the realization that I have succeeded at whatever I planned to succeed in. I hope the last couple of sentences would steer your thoughts towards the fact that when you really want something strong enough and you go out there to get it, you always get it. The things where you think you have failed are, in fact, things you didn't wanted bad enough and didn't try hard enough. And if you don't try hard enough, you have, in fact not failed because you never went after success to begin with.
Almost any self improvement speech has this famous quote from Napoleon Hill "What the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve" and I used to think that I can think of a lot of stuff that I can never achieve, However, now that I have figured out that I have never failed at anything, I understand what Napoleon Hill wanted to convey.
So, in order to understand yourself what I am talking about, first decide what you want, then make a plan listing what needs to be done to get it, and finally start executing the plan. There would be hurdles, set backs, seemingly impossible situations but as long as you focus on what you want, you can go around obstacles, get up and get going again or change you approach and you will get to your goal. To reinforce this mindset, just think about the successes, small and big, that you have had in your life and recall the reasons for your success and your would eventually you too will figure out that "You have never failed at anything in your life".
