The Paradox of Wealth Creation

There is an interesting paradox to wealth. The more your focus and intention is on making a difference with passion; the wealthier your get. In contrast, the more your focus and intentions are on $$$. As I go through college campus, I hear so many people saying comments like "oh you can make good money" or "this pays really well". This means that their intention is to make a lot of money and this mentality will serve you well.

How to seldomly be disappointed in life

How to seldomly be disappointed in life: Simply accept that things may not come around exactly when you want them or even in the form of which you ask for them. Understand that when this happens, trust that it's for your best interest and something better is on its way. Yes-- I know this is nothing new. We all know this, its true but how many of us actually practice the act? Just like in anything you do; the more you practice the more you ingrain into your subconcious that this is what you want. Eventually the subconcious recognizes this act and you start to adopt a behavior,habit,belief naturally. Practice and Preparation. I'll say it again Practice and Preparation is key to training your subconcious.

My Thoughts on Failure

Effective failure is the act of becoming aware of where you went wrong so that you can correct yourself in the future. Failure is when you repeat the same mistakes which I have been guilty of many times myself.

When we think of the word fail, we usually get a sinking feeling. Am I right?
No one wants to be labeled a failure nor admit being a failure.

Now look, Im not saying anticipate failure.

I've learned that the best remedy is always to anticipate victory, to see yourself in the best light in whatever situation and to anticipate victory means to prepare thoroughly.

It's very difficult to anticipate victory without preparation.

That being said, because we are all imperfect beings - we still slip-up.
And when we do, we either become aware of where we went wrong, acknowledge and correct to improve or we don't.

Effectively failing at something means you're growing.
Failing at something means you're repeating a mistake over and over again.

See the difference? Anticipate victory but when you slip-up; acknowledge your mistake and then correct it for the future.

It's really helpful to keep a journal by your side so that you can actually capture everything on paper. It helps with your awareness of the mistake so that you can correct it right away and it also prevents you from dwelling
on a mistake excessively.

Let me know if this helps. - Gurmit
