Mind Mastery – Question 1

How do I deal with failure?

I recently created a Facebook page called Mind Mastery. This is geared towards my offering of online courses coming soon this year.

One of the aspects of this offering is about your questions in relation to dealing with some of life’s challenges. And good pertinent questions will be answered in the form of a blog.

You see, I love helping people. I’ve done it most of my life. It’s one of my core values. I’m rewarded knowing that all the stuff I have studied and researched intensely over the past 15 years is of value to you. It has been to me. Cutting to the chase – if it works for me, it can work for you.

So one of my new followers – I will call him ‘Dale’ to respect his identity, posted two questions in the message section. One of the questions was – How do I deal with failure?

It’s a very good powerful question.

Here’s the kicker…

If you are failing at something continuously, do you,

1. Quit and give up, or,

2. Find solutions to the challenge?

If one gives up easily when the going gets tough, then what happens is you subconsciously set yourself up for failure. What you will do is give up every time things get tough. There is a very cliche statement – “if you keep doing what you’ve always done, you’ll keep getting what you’ve always got!”

This tells you to give up easily when the going gets tough. But there are ways around it. If you know how.

To every challenge there is a solution.

In Dale’s case, he is a student studying accounting. And he struggles to pass tax and auditing.

So he has already set up in his mind that he will fail. And the law of growth applies. What you think about you bring about. What you think about grows.

He cannot then be surprised if he fails. He told himself that he will fail.

His solution to this is simple.

– Find mentors who are knowledgeable in tax and auditing to assist him.

– Create a mastermind group of people who can brainstorm ideas to support him.

– Start working on his own self confidence challenges.

– Understand the laws of substitution, growth, dual thought, subconscious, practice, relaxation and forgiveness.

He is not a failure, and hasn’t failed. He has a burning desire to pass his exams. His challenges only lie in his mind, more specifically, his subconscious mind.

Society tell us we are failures if we don’t succeed. What a load of rubbish. Society is the one that has failed people like Dale. And that shocking negative rubbish belief system is in his subconscious mind. It was in mine too.

– What if he truly understood the concept of – “I persist until I succeed?

– What if he used the law of practice and dual thought to create a new positive mindset that worked in his favour?

– What if he spoke his future into existence?

Wouldn’t his future self appreciate that?

Understanding the power of the subconscious mind is everything.

Why?

Because the subconscious mind makes ALL your decisions.

In gratitude, respect and love.
