The Sweetness of Success
Quote of the day
‘In
order to appreciate the sweetness of life we need sometimes to experience the
bitterness of life itself. This is why the road to Success can be as endearing
as a laden vehicle travelling upstream on a venture of quest, knowledge and wisdom.’
An embracing
welcome to Tuesday the 19th of January 2016. It is bitterly cold in
good old London Town with temperatures plummeting. We have past the middle of
January 2016, with 337 days remaining in the year we can make significant changes
to our lives if we wanted to. Sometimes changes can be difficult. Despite our obvious
determination somehow or somewhere an opposing force awaits us. What will
tomorrow hold for you? Will it be a day of dismay, will it be the usual
Wednesday or will it be a day that pays? Building on life’s experiences helps
you to cope in the good times and in the bad times. If you had a bitter day yesterday,
then look at ways of making it a better day tomorrow. Yesterday’s experience
can become tomorrow’s perseverance. Sometimes we want to blame someone else for
our own wrongdoings. This is quite wrong. We need to learn from our own
experiences and ensure that we don’t make them again. To maintain a constant and
composite day, you need to abide by a set of rules that has previously worked. In
my third book, The Key to Happiness I state quite clearly how important it is
to follow instructions and how to abide by them so that we avoid getting into
trouble. Learning from our mistakes helps us to avoid making them again. These
are called life skills. There are so many factors that can topple your day. A
train or a tube strike could disrupt your day. Your PC can interrupt your day
if it crashes. Tempers can erupt if people step on each other’s toes. Every
single day has its ups and downs. You need to learn from those discomforting
moments and ensure that you don’t make the same mistake again. Start by living
in anticipation. Make preparations for the unexpected. Have a backup plan and implement
it when the need arises. Seek help when your troubles start to become a pile of
rubble. In order to appreciate the sweetness of life we need sometimes to
experience the bitterness of life itself. As the idiom goes, ‘Once bitten,
twice shy’. Always try to avoid making the same blunder again and again.
