Do Not Be A Prisoner Of Your Expectations

Whatever the mind of humans can conceive and believe, can be
achieved. Think about it, many are prisoners of their
expectations when they are not fortunate beginners or
succeed after a few tries. You must be willing to fail until
you do definitely and definitively succeed. "Failing
forward" is the best way to be, for, through this technique,
you ultimately succeed permanently through persistence of
not just effort, but persistence of creativity.
 
Creative persistence creates success. I am not at all
writing about being stubborn or trying the same thing until
you go insane. No, not at all. I mean persisting creatively
until you do succeed, even if the failures seem infinitely
happening and even endless at times.
 
Everyone solves problems in existence, everyone fills a need
in existence as they solve problems. The point to this
sentence is, that is the thing that happens forever
endlessly, without matter to how much "perfection" we
achieve or greatness we achieve as long as there is life and
active existence, there is always an opportunity to act,
fail and succeed. 

If you accept the nature of temporary failure for what it is,
you can succeed at any reasonable or "unreasonable" goal. 
The word "unreasonable" is in quotes for this reason: 
Anything that can be creatively conceived can ultimately and
reasonably be achieved by anyone who is willing to pursue 
success despite the temporary failures to achieve on the first
few tries.  My point is, everything seems unreasonable
until it is done and a normal 
thing that is done by everyone.
 
When I say, "do not be a prisoner of your expectations,"
this is exactly what I mean: To create a winner, you must be
willing to temporarily fail until you succeed. Note here: I
said the word "willing", I did not say that you must
temporarily fail to succeed. Some succeed the first time,
some succeed after many times. But my point is that you must
be willing to try, do and both, if needed until you do
succeed.
 
Listen, only a fool believes in permanent failure and
genuinely unreasonable goals. A genuinely intelligent person
believes in success through perseverance and persistence. A
good or great effort is never lost when that sort of
persistence is involved.

Unleash your potential,
