Create Your Future
What do you want your future to be?
For some, it involves money, love, and success.
Others might be thinking of living in a different place.
Or perhaps dreaming of starting a family.
All too often, we inhibit our dreams, we self-sabotage.
Some live with the "I can't" or "it will never work," while others have optimistic dreams but don't take the needed action.
Perhaps you've tried to reach your dreams but failed. How do you approach that roadblock?
You have choices, of course. We all do.
Let's say you tried to start a business and it failed. Did you quit trying? It's easy to find reasons and excuses.
But when we look at some of the world's wonders, it's even easier to find inspiration!
Just because the past didn't turn out like you wanted it doesn't mean your future can't be better than you imagined. ---Anonymous
So, let me give you a bit of encouragement to write that next article, find that next product to promote, or perhaps continue on through the Wealthy Affiliate training (or go back through the training again)....
You only fail when you quit.
“You never fail until you stop trying.” -- Albert Einstein
Edison provided encouragement by refusing to fail...
I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.
-- Thomas A. Edison
When I'm approached by someone saying they are about to give up on their websites or similar business, I remind them that they might be on the cusp of succeeding. If you give up, you have lost.
Instead, I encourage them to rethink HOW they are working, WHAT they are doing, and perhaps pivoting.
Maybe your pot of gold is slightly to the left of where you are reaching....
Have you ever had one of those days when you thought of quitting? I think most people have.
Did you try a new approach? Find a new path? Or perhaps just dig in and try harder?
I'd like to hear experiences. Please share in a comment below.
And if you are on the brink of quitting, share that, too. (but don't quit!)

So true Diane. How many times have we seen this self sabotage. It will never work or I tried it for a month and nothing happened.
But so many of us have proved that it does work, it just takes a little more effort than they are prepared to put in.
As you say, we never know when the next corner is the last one we need to take.
A great post, keep them coming.

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
And yes, as you said, we never know. It's not always easy, of course, but very necessary!
Hi Diane, you‘re right. The best thing to do is not to quit. If people do that, they will never find out what could have been if they worked on it to improve. BTW, love the quotes. I sure did miss your writing. Im glad you’re back. Love your writing style! 😀

What are the chances of us getting everything spot on the first, second, third.... (I could on here) time round???
Not very high I would say Diane!
The key is to keep on persevering, learning, trying new angles and never giving up!
Appreciate the great read my dear friend, happy to have you back here and enjoy the rest of your week!! :-))
Excellent point! Sometimes the new angles prove to be fun, too 😊
It feels good to be back again. I've missed all of my friends here, including you. Thanks for the warm greeting!
We must all strive to have fun in all that we do Diane and you're most welcome my friend, you have been missed!!
