Reclaiming Your Power from Deafeat!

"That is one of the tricks of opportunity. It has a sly habit of slipping in by the back door, and often it comes disguised in the form of misfortune or temporary defeat"-Napoleon Hill

Like most people I've allowed closed doors, misfortune and defeat to throw me off my game. Defeat for some reason has a finality attached to it, therefore most times we make defeat synonymous with giving up. Our habit of quitting in the face of temporary defeat is the reason for many of our failures. However, if your desire is strong and your determination steadfast, defeat is simply a signal that we need to reroute our plans and formulate a new mode of attack.
In the pursuit of our dreams we need to develop a new attitude. No doesn't neccessarily mean no. No can mean try something else, try harder, become better!! There is no successful person on this earth who was not faced with defeat at some time or the other. The recipe to their success was to learn the simplistic lessons in every defeat and therein turning defeat into a stepping stone. Don't let defeat claim your power but instead draw your power from it. Turn defeat into fuel and impossible becomes nothing!
Realistically, there are times when we may invest our energies in mistakes and bad decisions. However, do not simply give up. How can you be sure it is a mistake? How do you really know? My adivce would be to consult with experts and seek counsel before making the decision to give up on a dream. Your limitations (ie the ones you impose on yourself) are not always the proper measure limitations. Your limitations may just be mental blocks that you place in the way of your success. You have the power to make your dreams a reality...reclaim it!
