There is something I learned in life – when I do something and it just doesn’t quite get me where I wanted to get to, I analyse what I did, learn from it and go out for a long thoughtful walk. I take in the fresh air, release any negative thoughts or frustrations, then I search for another approach. I look for a better way.
Successful people have long ago adopted the ‘asking questions’ method into their lives. When something has not worked the way they had wanted, they control their frustration and negative feelings, and ask themselves, “What am I doing that is not working?”
They analyse why what they did not work the way they had originally wanted, then they find another way, they tackle their objective differently.
What is important here is to understand why a particular approach didn’t work, and then make any necessary adjustments and go for it again. Perhaps you can go as far as being grateful for any frustrations for they allow you to fine tune and perfect what it is you are going to achieve.
