Learn From Disappointment
"The past does not equal the future" - Anthony Robbins
So often when we're in pursuit of our goals and dreams we run into a road block or two. We have a result in mind and it just doesn't come out in our favor.
It happens to everyone at some time.
You prepared, sacrificed family and social obligations, spent a lot of time and money on equipment, travel, lodging etc.
You rested, tapered and fully expected to have success. But things didn't turn out quite like you expected...
We've all experienced it; our dreams dashed. You wonder what more could you have done?
Perhaps now you are feeling discouraged and depressed. Unfortunately, the depression usually seems greater if you expected a lot. It seems there is no way for anyone to console you.
So how do you get out of this depressed condition; this "mental mess"?
Do you have the feeling that nothing you can do will make any difference?
Well, there is ALWAYS something you can do.
If you're feeling really down, go ahead and feel down for a little while. I repeat; a little while, just don't stay there.
Remember that you can't change the past. What is done is done.
But maybe you can learn something from it. It's been said that sometimes we learn more from losing than we do from winning.
You think you did every thing right, but did you? If your preparation and focus weren't at fault, than perhaps there is another explanation that you have been missing or avoiding.
A close objective assessment of your performance may reveal some useful lessons for the next time. In fact, I have discovered that losing a match, or not achieving a goal, actually made me better in the future.
Listen to me now and believe me later. You will be a better person having had the experience.
Take some time to analyze your performance.
You'll be glad you did.
Until next time, put everything you have into everything you do.
Best of Success,
