Whether You Are Successful or Not Is a Matter of Perspective

It is a Matter of Perspective Whether You Are Successful or Not

 

"Every good thought you think is contributing its share to the ultimate result of your life."

                                                           Grenville Kleiser

 

Winning or Losing Is a Matter of Perspective

A farmer found a magical flute.  He played the flute to his hens, hoping it would charm them into laying more eggs.  He played it all day and into the evening.  By nightfall, the hens hadn't laid any more eggs than usual.  He was later asked if he was successful.  The farmer replied, "Most definitely!  Although it was not a good day for egg laying, it was a great day for music!"

 

As you can see from this fable, it is a matter of perspective whether you win or you lose.  Normally, many would look at this as a failure.

 

Every day we go through many challenges, some we conquer, some we don't.  At the end of the day, if we look at the ones that we were unable to be successful at, we should find the positive part of it.  There is always something positive to be found in the challenges we encounter, win or lose.  

 

The next time you think you have had a bad day, think about something positive about that day to lift your spirits and change the way you think.

Maybe that farmer should have tried the music on a second day.  Positives are what we look for to make the days successful.

Hi Brigita you know I don't have what many call 'bad' days.  They all end in Y and it's my choice to create whatever thoughts I want about each day.  And I do!  I'm one of 'those' happy people!

I have learned many valuable mindsets over the last 35 yrs... every day is a new day to create success... when moving forward with failures until the success occurs is what helps define you.  DO NOT look at others' success... your success is YOUR success.... best wishes!!

It is so true!  We are the only ones that can make our own successes.  And, yes, a new day means another chance to create our success.
