Cultivate Failure Memory Loss

Hi ... The topic sounds really as though I vote for memory loss. Of course that is true ...

But i do say failure memory loss ...

Most of us are what our experiences has thought us till now. No matter whether you are sixty or sixteen, how you think, respond, it all comes from the experiences you had. Some experiences brought you happiness, made you fly, some brought tears and some shook your knees. We remember most of these unique and emotional successes and failures.

Its good that our memory doesn't store each and every details. For example, What color pant did you wear 3 months 3 days before today ... wow ! the man who can answer this question must be a genius ... If you are that man, real hats off for you. What makes the details of our daily routine fade from our memory and disinguisable happenings stay evergreen? Its mostly because, we bring it for review most often and the happenings are very unique by themselves.Mostly its because we review them more often, they get into our memory and impact my decision making from then on. So we either have experience of succeeding in something or failing in something. An event to stay in your mind evergreen, it should be unique and must have some emotional value.

Bad Memories are DeadWeights

Lets say you had a very bad experience, trying to talk to a girl for the first time in your high school. You made a bad start which ended up in an embarassing situation and the whole school started making fun of you for the rest of the year.what has this experience taught you ? "Dont talk to a girl. You are not good at it". For the rest of your life you are totally going to ignore 50% of the population, I mean the girls. Isn't it a very drastic thing to do. If not so, if you keep this experience dangling before your eyes, you enter college, would you try speaking to a girl, when your previous year experience has taught you not to try the same. That's what happens in most of our lives. Everytime we come up to creating opportunities, new relationships, we refer to our failures and lose almost 80% chance of succeeding.

What is "failure memory loss". It means "Forget all failures you faced in your life. Take a decision to forget". Fill your memory with moments of Joy, Success and Happiness. You need to remind your mind of those moments every now and them and generate the feeling of a successful person. Feeling successful is one essential component of attaining success in whatever we do.

Take Action:

Take a sheet of paper and start writing down all your acheivements - your graduation from college, winning a good friendship, an award, taking up a new responsibility, solving a problem. How little it may look, do it and read it every day before you start your day as America's Success Coach Jack Canfield writes in his wonderful Book The Success Principles(TM): How to Get from Where You Are to Where You Want to Be

So start to erase your bad memories which act as a deadweight and keep you away from moving forward. Instead choose to focus on your strengths and acheivements. Read your own acheivements and stay an acheiver.You dont have to look at acheivements of others to get inspired. It says, something is possible and you can try it. But read your acheivements, which says, you have done this, so you can do that.

Cultivate this habit of failure memory loss and hold tight to your successful memories. One who feels successful can only repeat Success.



with luv,
Ashok.
