A young man was a multiple world champion. When his dad died suddenly, he discovered that about fifty percent of his motivation of becoming the best in the world, belonged to his father. He left the sport, because he needed one hundred percent of motivation in order to be the best. It was a big shock and a personal failure. After a few years he "found" the other fifty percent of motivation, and he returned to the sport he loved. But something went wrong. He suffered the next failure in his life. He needed to discover what was wrong, to get back to basics and to a new start. He did all this! As a result he became again the world champion in his sport. In fact he raised to new highs in his life!
But how do you look at your personal failures?
Try not to look at your personal failures with a self-defeating attitude. Instead be determined to get back to basics and on the right track. Look at your failures as at an opportunity to rise up at a new, higher level in your life. The key is to not hide all your former faults from yourself. Only by their full recognition and by your full determination to do things right, you will experience "the rebirth" of yourself. Be optimistic no matter what. Don't lose that in yourself.
