Learn to master YOUR FAILURES - NEVER stop falling until YOU'RE successful!
Yesterday was absolutely hilarious!
I still cannot stop cracking up!
I took my two youngest daughters ice skating for their first time, and although it was daunting to see them unstable on the ice, it was also one of the best laughs I've had non-stop for 5 mins in a while!
Just for the slightest minute, I thought the youngest daughter would quit and come and join me on the spectator's bench
But nope, they both pressed on until they gradually became better
It is the nicest feeling of pride to see them both continuing and supporting each other as well.
They held on and took some steps, shuffle a lot, and then they fell over
Rinse and repeat, they did
But anyone could see the gradual improvement when they were finished one and a half hours later
Have you ever done ice skating?
My girls were so much braver than me.
Looking at both of them in awe, appreciation and admiration, reminded me of our online business.
Several weeks ago, I took the massive decision to take a step back from Wealthy Affiliate and concentrate on my business.
Fearful?
Oh yeah!
I knew what I wanted to accomplish, even though I didn't know how to go about it.
Since I've started, I have had so many falls
I fell flat on my face!
I fell and roll all over the floor!
I saw myself falling and rolling into rabbit holes and crying while doing so!
Even though I was frustrated and crying,
Never ONCE did I feel like giving up
My falling was spurring me on to be victorious
So many times, we fall since we started our journey.
Frustrations over frustrations, we even question ourselves if we are doing the right thing or even on the right pathway.
Never DOUBT yourself
- Remember that the more we fall, the nearer we are to being successful.
- Celebrate every little win - they are so essential for us to continue this journey.
- Use a mindmap or checklist to guide us and remind us of our business vision.
- Never lose our visualisation focus.
Every time another member celebrate their success, speak gently to yourself and say - I know my time will come.
Remember my daughters yesterday. They didn't give up!
They knew they had to conquer the fear of falling over to make progress
Come on, guys
Step by step, we will master the fear of falling.
What is it that you are waiting for?
Let's get our skates on!
Until next time
Simone

Good morning Simone,
Thank you for another encouraging blog post.
In answer to your question, I have never been ice-skating or contemplated it, I guess it's difficult to ice skate when lying on the floor!! I'm sure it was great to see your daughters persevering with the ice-skating, good for them! There is a message in that for all of us!
I believe that each and every one of us has different gifts, I just know that ice-skating wouldn't be for me! However, I know that having an Internet business is just right for me. The majority of people do not understand the power of the Internet, they just do not get it at all!
I know that I'm doing the right thing and I am growing my online business. It's important that we go where we feel comfortable in what we are doing, admittedly, there are times when we have to stretch ourselves.
Have a great day and enjoy the bank holiday weekend.

Lol
Roy, I know what you mean
It does has its benefits but I am so scared of broken bones and that's why I've not yet attempted
In life, we do need to be comfortable in whatever we are doing
We need to tap into our inner strength and use these skill sets wisely
Thank you for stopping by.
I.will surely enjoy my bank holiday weekend
Thank you for your reply, Simone, it's appreciated.
It always amazes me that each and every one of us is given different gifts, it's quite something really! I have never particularly been into sport, even as a youngster, or that type of thing, so I can't imagine myself trying ice-skating! And as you rightly said, I don't want any broken bones, I know where you're coming from!
We definitely need to be comfortable within reason in what we are doing. I appreciate there are times when we have to stretch ourselves, but this is normal.
I always remember a Pastor saying; that we need to be able to get out of bed in the morning with enthusiasm! I agree with this, if we are not, then we are probably in the wrong job!
It's always a pleasure to stop by, Simone.
Have a great day.
Roy
Roy, whatever we are doing, it should be done with enthusiasm and passion
Have a good bank holiday weekend :)
I appreciate you stopping by
I agree, big time, Simone, I don't think we were created for drudgery, but to be a joy and inspiring to those around us!
Have a wonderful Sunday.

Hey Simone, each time we fall, then get up and try again is part of the learning process in life.
It happens to us all at some point as we learn new things, it doesn't matter how many times we fall, what matters is learning from each experience and getting up from the deck to try again.
I used to enjoy ice skating back in the day, but suddenly stopped after witnessing close up a very nasty incident on the ice.
Great post my friend and enjoy a fabulous start to the weekend!:-)
Nick, that's the positive process of ensuring that our journey leads to success.
As long as we always get up after each fall and keep on going, that's half the battle won
For that reason you've mentioned about nasty incident, is the reason I'm not interested in ice skating.
For me, never giving up and always persevering to do better is most of the battle won my friend!:-)
Hi Simone,
Your two daughters thought you a great lesson of courage and determination. Although they fell many things, they did not lose hope. They pressed on and with time they made progress and pretty soon they will be skating like professionals.
Thanks for the great reminder. We will fail and fall many times in life and business but if we do not give up we will fall into success.
Have an awesome day! Wishing you the very best!
Kind regards,
Nichola
Nichola, I did learned an excellent lesson from both of them
Courage and determination indeed
Strong characteristics to take them into the adult world
I'm beyond proud of them
Thank you for stopping by
Have an awesome weekend
Very motivational writing, you’re one strong women, I love reading your posts. You will be very successful! Keep it up!
God Bless You, your Daughters and my Wealthy Affiliate Family🙏

Thank You for sharing this, I NEEDED to be reminded of it. I am so scattered brained with everything, that I have stopped looking at all the little steps and little things that I need to be grateful for, better yet being reminded that it is OKAY to fall as long as I keep pushing forward is all that matters, damn, I hadn't realized how untuned with myself I had become. Your amazing and much appreciated.
Thanks again,
V

We all need reminders now and again
