Humans are tough. We can come through the toughest of situations and feel better for it. The problem is why you often wait for something “bad” to happen before you perform at a high level. It can all come down to how you view success and failure in your own reality.

I have four ideas that will change how you feel about your successes and more importantly,Stop Feeling Sorry For Yourself And Boost Your Self-Esteem Articles you’re so called failures.

1. Know why you do what you are doing.

Are you trying to keep up with the Jones’s or do you actually live each day in order to achieve something you specifically chose to have in your life? Don’t do something just because someone told you to do it. Do what you love and for reasons that benefit you.

2. Can You Or Cant You?

Some people believe they can achieve anything once given the right information as they have determination. Other people have no belief that they are capable of doing anything new. I suggest you just flow with opportunities that come along. If it feels right, do it, if it doesn’t then just let it go and wait for something to come along. Keep yourself in control of what you choose to do.

3. Envy vs Acceptance

People today are more materialistic than ever before. This in turn means envy is part of every day life. Instead of focusing on what you have and how you can get what you want, you focus on being bitter and frustrated about how other people have what you want instead. You can only control your destiny so stop worrying about everyone else’s!

4. The Role Of Fortune

How much of what you have today is done to you acting in a smart, ambitious and efficient way? Can you put everything solely down to you got what you deserved? This is a firm believe of today’s society but what role does fortune and randomness play as well? I accept you can gear yourself up to take up every opportunity that comes you way, but I don’t think you know what opportunities will come your way. There is definite an element of fortune in what every successful person achieves.

So apply these four ideas to your own life. What will become apparent is that you should go for what you want and accept you cannot plan every step of the way. Just make sure whatever path you choose is the one you want, not the one someone else has chosen for you.
