Why People Succeed

This image has been floating around on Facebook. I think it originated on the ESLSCA Business School page.

I shared it on my page and immediately typed:

This is why we ‪#‎wycwyc‬ — Giving up isn’t an option. We are patient and believe in ourselves, look towards the future, move past our mistakes, face our fears, anticipate change, take control, grow our confidence, work for what we want, desire success more than failure, visualize our dreams, evolve, give ourselves a break, find support, see failure as an opportunity to learn, and most importantly feel and express gratitude.

Sometimes I think we focus too much on the negative and not enough on the positive. What we can’t eat instead of what can. What we give up to workout not what we gain. What’s wrong with us instead of what’s right. Why we fail instead of why we can succeed.

Positivity is powerful!
