Do you ever feel that your off course? Do you ever feel that since your off course, your failing? Here’s is Thomas Watson’s philosophy about failure. He said, “Would you like me to give you the formula for success? It’s quite simple, really. Double your rate of failure. You’re thinking of failure as the enemy of success. But it isn’t at all. You can be discouraged by failure, or you can learn from it. So go ahead and make mistakes. Make all you can. Because, remember that’s where you’ll find success. On the other side of failure.”
Think about the Apollo rocket. On it’s way to the moon, the rocket is only on course two or three percent of the time. It’s off course almost ninety-seven percent of the time and yet it gets to the moon. The reason it’s gets there is because of continuous course correction. The continuous correction is accomplished through the use of a gyroscope. And if it can get to it’s destination, you can to. We all have a gyroscope that will help us get to our destination if we allow it to. It is our vision or dream of where we are going. All it takes is consistent, seemingly insignificant actions, that are easy to do, and easy not to do, but that by doing them and then by adjusting or correcting the course, we get to our destination.
We simply need to make the right choices, the ones that serve us. When we get a little off course, we simply make adjustments to get us back on course.
Have a magnificent day.
