"We are all failures-at least, all the best of us are."

Ever wonder what makes achievers excel? Why some people skyrocket while others plummet? You know what I'm talking about. You can call it luck, blessing, or the Midas touch-call it whatever you want. But the truth is that some people just seem to achieve incredible things in spite of tremendous difficulties.

What makes the difference? Why do some people achieve so much? Is it...

Family background, wealth, opportunity, high morals, the absence of hardships?

No, none of these things are the key.

The difference between average people and achieving people is their perception of and response to failure.

How people see failure and deal with it - whether they possess the ability to look beyond it and keep achieving - impacts every aspect of their lives.

Even positive people have a tough time learning how to see failure positively.

Perhaps your attitude towards failure is...

1) You fear failure. 2) You misunderstand failure. 3) Your unprepared for failure.

"People are training for success when they should be training for failure. Failure is far more common than success; poverty is more prevalent than wealth; and disappointment more normal than arrival."

In life, the question is not if you will have problems, but how you are going to deal with your problems. What are you prepared for?

If your perception of and response to failure were changed, what would you attempt to achieve?

No matter who you are, you are facing obstacles in your life right now. But whatever they are doesn't matter. What does matter is that your life can change if your willing to look at failure differently. You have the potential to overcome any problems, mistakes, or misfortunes.

Here is your first step: Realize There Is One Major Difference Between Average People and Achieving People.

* Take responsibility. * Learn from each mistake. * Know failure is part of the progress. * Maintain a positive attitude. * Challenge outdated assumptions. * Take new risks. * Persevere.

No matter how difficult your problems are, the key to overcoming them doesn't lie in changing your circumstances. It's in changing yourself. That in itself is a process, and it begins with a desire to be teachable.
