Discover Yourself

There are many people who feel a sense of low self esteem because they feel like they have failed on their life or they do not measure up to other people. Reacting to life feeling like a failure will continue to bring you experiences that you label failures.

“I never failed once. It just happened to be a 2000-step process.”

~ Thomas Edison ~

Walt Disney had a passionate desire to pursue a career in commercial art, which is how he began his original experiments in animation. He started by producing short animated films for local businesses in Kansas City. By the time Walt had started to create The Alice Comedies, which was about a real girl and her adventures in an animated world, he ran out of money. His company at the time. Laugh-O-Grams went bankrupt. Instead of giving up, Walt packed his suitcase and with his unfinished print of The Alice Comedies in hand, headed for Hollywood to start a new business. It was Walt Disney’s enthusiasm and faith in himself and others that took him straight to the top of Hollywood society. Walt Disney's dream of a clean and organized amusement park also came true when Disneyland Park in Anaheim opened in 1955.

Wally Amos opened his first Famous Amos store, with cookies based on his aunt's recipe which he baked himself. Within 10 years his sales had grown to more than $10 million. Due to financial troubles, Amos was forced to sell the Famous Amos Company, and trademarked name "Famous Amos". Turning adversity into opportunity, Amos launched a new cookie venture, The Uncle Noname's Cookie Company. With America's tastes shifting towards healthier foods, the company focused on fat-free, nutritious muffins at that time. Uncle Noname ultimately became Uncle Wally's Muffin Company in 1999. The muffins are sold in more than 3,500 stores nationwide.

Dr. Seuss’ first book was rejected by over 27 publishers. He had a fleeting thought to burn the manuscript. Instead he sent it out one more time.

What if you didn't get that job, or didn't make that sale, or didn't accomplish what you wanted?

When this happens, many people will mistakenly think they are wrong, or they can’t do it, are not good enough or other destructive thoughts. Every result either takes you directly closer to your desires, or it has an answer for your next step.

There are many true stories of how so many successful people have experienced failure and how they bounced back.

Start 2 lists: (1) One LIST of those projects you have started and completed successfully. (2) Another LIST of those projects that you once labeled as failures that eventually showed themselves as an answer for your next step.

By doing these two lists, you may find yourself starting to feel differently about yourself and your results in your life.
