when life throws you a challenge, are you equipped to choose the best option to deal with it?
actor robert ne niro once said; "the talent is in the choice." in other words, you must make the best choice available to you at a given point of time. the more choices you have, the better the chances of achieving your desired outcome.
two is better than onein the philosophy of neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP), if you have only one choice, it is not considered a choice at all.
if you have two or more choices, you have an opportunity to make the best decision to influnce the outcome. you can draw on the vast resources of your brain to create the choices for yourself. you can also reframe your problems and see them in a different perspective.
for example, you have a choice to remain as poor as church mouse or become more financially stable. you have a choice to be untidy or be organised. you have a choice to do it now or later. you have a choice to be a complacent or to be alert to opportunity.
no failure, only feedbacksometimes you make the wrong choice and the result is failure. take heart, making the wrong choice is better than not making any choices at all. at least, you take the initiative to act.
failure is not the opposite of success, but its by-product.
inaction, apathy and tolerence of mediocrity are the opposites of success.
we learn valuable lessons from failure, such as taking the hard knocks in life. the lessons are not taught in formal universities but out in the street.
in NLP, there is no such "failure". instead, failure is actually feedback that can be used to improve your performance. failure is a necessary part of success. it is actually a step before success.
many quit when confronted with failure, not knowing the next step is success.
an article copied from the star dated 23/08/2008, written Michael Lum, an american board of NLP trainer.hasan al hadi said:
success is not the end. success is the journey. during the journey we will face all circumstances and obstacles. the way we handle and solve that, defines who we are. as henry ford once remarked: "failure is the only opportunity to begin more intelligently."
in our life we have been forced to make a choice. making a choice that does not mean we will face a failure. it is actually only an action. the result came after we made a choice is only a feedback from the choice that has been made.
an "afraid" (if we can say so) to make a choice is worst. people always blame the decision maker who made a decision. but if they do not made any decision we are no where. remains same!
i cannot imagine if in the world there are not many decision maker who dare making any choice!
