I think the best recipe I ever heard for success was this one:
'If you wanna be more than you are and have more than you've got, you need to give more than you usually do!'
In short I think that if we see ourselves as vessels that can grow and stretch we will realize that taking on more than we can handle is never a bad thing!
Here's some nuggets than spring to mind....
Surviving failure means you can take a punch which means you know more about fighting than someone who has never experienced it! - This automatically makes you a better fighter than the average Joe!
Experience plus wisdom are a formidable team, the one shows the path to go and the other knows how to travel it! So celebrate your classroom lessons along with your painful ones!
If we fear risk and failure, we unknowingly fear the very ingredients needed for our successes!
Your destiny respects your ability to consistently pursue it, so why give up pursuing it when consistent pursuit is the key?
Consistently stretching your capacity for pressure is consistently stretching your capacity for success! ie.
The more you can handle, the more you CAN handle!
Don't fear your track record, one war won is worth every battle fought for it!
Just some thoughts I thought might encourage your thoughts! :)
