It could be simple and it could be complicated, but I come from an objective, gritty, sweaty, realistic point of view that genuinely and ultimately works in reality. I don’t care if I fail temporarily, what matters is the final successes. In fact, actually winning the “immediate jackpot” of looking good in the eyes of others doesn’t matter, I want overall success ultimately in my own eyes genuinely. That is really. When I think about success and failure, I see it a little differently than most people, I get it: success is winning overall, no matter how much temporary failure may arise. The real failure is giving up on my ideal permanently without genuinely shifting my focus at crucial moments in a closed-off way that really is weak. Because, in fact, all failure is temporary when viewed correctly, and all success is success when genuinely recognized.
Failure is merely training and temporary, success is repeatable when it is genuine and not based on luck or “good fortune on the first try”.
In every article I use the Mark Spitz quote “We all love to win, but who loves to train” that’s where I really come from. Not to be preachy or anything, but that’s how I live, I consider real success to be something I can genuinely repeat, depending on luck or “good fortune on the first try” is the most genuine failure for me. In fact, from my point of view, “hitting the easy jackpot” works for very few due to the nature of this reality. In my opinion, true success comes with skill gained and it’s repeatable.
We all love success, but do we have the patience to make it repeatable and real without cheats, shortcuts and weak “rabbit hops across the pea patch” as the great Los Angeles Lakers National Basketball Association announcer put it? , Francis Dayle “Chick” Hearn? it’s all about cheating on fouls in basketball and lucky jump shots done wrong who made it with a “stutter step” or a desperate shot that got past the referees of the basketball game. After all, what’s greater than genuinely developed skill and perfection without cheating? Nothing. Nothing looks better either when success happens, real success.
When you live life well, I know what’s up there beyond the sky: true success and satisfaction in a life well lived and persevered, not a heaven where harps are played and we get a “pat on the back” from St. To fart. I take a John Milton approach to everything, it is done first within our souls and minds or it is not done at all.
