I meet all kinds of people who have been really successful and who keep cursing their lives. I wonder what makes a winner different from a person who considers himself as a failure. Apart from the upbringing which shapes up our personality and somewhere contribute to the way we think, and ofcourse other experiences. With all the thought process keeping aside, what I have found is nobody is a unsuccessful because he has met some failures. Because every successful person has met multi failures in his lifetime. Infact, sucecssful people have met more failures than a person who is unsuccessful. Because he has tried more things than anyone else. Infact they have hit the rock bottm in their lives before rising his. They did not play their game in safe zone. You can say that a ball comes back up only after hitting to the bottom. Before than it keeps going down. Or in case of a swing or pendulum, it can go in one direction equal to the throw in the opposite direction. So what stops people thats the main question. Few days back, I was sitting with someone, who has good business but doesnt have sense of accomplishment. because he got this business in legacy and he plays in safe zone. He never tried anything as he always wanted to be safe. I asked him, what he would have taken risks, he said either he would have been a billionaire or a zero. I asked then why he didnt take, and he was scared that what if he would have lost everything in that gamble of business. So he always kept swinging on the safe zone as he never tried anything because he was afraid of failure. Life is funny, it tests you fro everything you ask for and checks if you really want that and if you truly want then it decides that you deserve that. So if you want something, then ask yourself, whats holding me, failure is never a failure because its a testing point and a stepping stone. If you think you want it truly at any cost, then you deserve it and no failure will hold you back. If you are afraid of failure, you will never be able to reach, where you could have reached.
