015: Your plan failed. What’s next?

Divinely Creative

Your plan can fail, but you yourself can NEVER be a failure.

It’s a stupid mad idea, that we’re able to be a failure, and there’s no need to blame anyone for us having this thought in the first place. It’s simply a time to change it. Remove it. For good. Just because you failed, it doesn’t make you a failure. It’s impossible. You are meant to grow and learn and your mistakes plays big role in this. Look at anybody who’s extremely successful in life. Ask them, really, how many times they have made any kind of mistake on the road. It’s not for comparing, but merely understanding that mistakes are the corner stones in success road. It helps you see who you truly are and how you can be more of it. It helps you to understand real values, respect yourself AND others more. And to crack this nut of life’s purpose. When you fully understand this, and you’re faced with other strong challenge, you just shout out loud: ‘oh yeah, gimme this puzzle, I’m ready!’.

Truth is ‘I’m ready’ merely means ‘I’m fully comfortable of never being ready’.

You can never be fully ready for the real challenges and life-changing moments. And as soon as you accept this, life gets really groovy. Isn’t this fun?

So your plan failed. What’s next? You know the obvious already, right? To learn. Ask what you can learn from this and take a little more time for searching this answer. Then, ‘how can I see this differently, I choose so’. Where’s my vision? How can I be the best version of myself in this situation? Ask and allow answers to take you over, smoothly. Grow. Come back to your vision. And if you can’t see yet where have you made mistake, maybe all circumstances were just forced onto you. Something extremely disturbing happened and you did not find how you can step the game up in there.. on time… What’s then? Eventually you will connect the dots. But for now, be very clear you don’t allow any circumstances to cage you.

‘The last remaining freedom of ones self is freedom of thought’ – if you’re not familiar with Victor Frankl work, I highly suggest you to read his book ‘Mans search for meaning’. He was in a concentration camp back in a day, and nobody could ever imagine anything worse than this. And yet, V. Frankl found a purpose for this chapter of his life. Freedom of thought. Of choice. If he could do this in this incredibly unbarring circumstances, I am sure so can we in our lives. We always have a choice. To choose our thoughts, and make those decisions with ease, going along with our vision.

The past is gone. It can touch you not. Likewise is the future. Only presence is Yours to take.

Your plan failed. So what? Don’t pity yourself or damage your presence with negative thoughts. Learn. And when you can’t seem to find the answer of how you could have been better in this situation, simply let go and accept that there must have been a better plan for you that you haven not thought about before. Always remember you are NEVER a failure. And to fail is simply to make a mistake or choose wrong plan, that ONLY prolongs the time of the right plan to step in. There’s something so very profound in accepting that you can and you will make mistakes. It makes you in charge of your own being and life. Apologize when needed. Take radical responsibility. This will help you move forward. Just never apologize for who you are. Because you are never a failure.

You simply have made a mistake. This will help you grow, and by being fully transparent and acknowledging who you are and where have you failed, you are allowing others to be their best too. Accept that there’s always a better plan you could never think of yourself. And mistakes are just a compass that leads you to discovering it and your own best being in this life. Make it groovy. Have fun. Face challenges with ease. You can never be a failure. And when you accept this by taking full responsibility for your actions, it is success that waits on the other side of it. Take it.
