When you are faced with a problem, you either succumb or you …......

become victorious. For most ordinary people, when they are faced with a big problem, like getting into insolvency, they most likely succumb to being declared bankrupt. That it seems is the easy way out. Be honorable and face bankruptcy. You don't have to die, do you? Unfortunately, we can't encourage people to take that view because that would be a defeatist path and no honorable people can accept it. Instead, if you are faced with adversity, you should take it as a challenge. You should treat it as unjustified and fight on, no matter what, until you can break away from the morass. Of course it takes strength and strong spirits. One element that helps is a strong mind. Building a strong mind needs time and the right environment. Upbringing can make the difference. Richness can make you weak in mind and poverty can spurt you to great heights. When there is a need, there is a way. However, if fighting spirit is lacking, then failure ensures.

Have you met anyone who succeeds and had never tasted failures? It would be rare and unbelievable if people says they succeeded the fist time. It would most probably be a sugar coated case. It is important to taste failures as they can be a great teacher. Every time you fail, you learn of a way where things don't work. When you have that many experiences of failures, you will learn of the many ways that don't work out and you will try new ways. But some people just find it an excuse to give up easily. They usually don't have any pride at all and they have that flaw character of enjoying in defeat. Indeed, some are proud of failing. It is a form of mental disease; that thing that tells you not to fight on.

Successful people usually have an inner voice that tells them to get up and run, after they have fallen. Be it self motivation or a survival instinct, the inner voice can do wonders. Failures also have an inner voice, but they tell them to just give up! No matter whether you are a born failure or a born again success, you must learn how to do self motivation. Who else can tell you to get up and run again, except that mind of yours that resides in your head. It is there guiding you twenty four hours and for free as well. Use it often or you loose it. Speak to your mind constantly. Ask it to pressure you into getting results. Motivate yourself and you will also motivate others. When you get results, you would want others to also get results. And when they gets results, it will further motivate you to excel. If however your spirit is lacking, you can either remain where you are, or seek the advice of a Success Mentor .
