Success Is Easier Than Failure. Why aren’t you successful?

We all choose the path we take in life. Few realize that it is easier to be successful than to be a failure. The journey to success is also easier than the default path to failure, but you must do a few things differently.

Show Notes

Here is an outline of what you can expect from this podcast episode. Listen to the podcast if you can, as I go into more detail which will help you.

Success Is Easier Than Failure

That’s a bold statement
And it’s absolutely true
It’s an interesting concept to grasp
Let’s review some examples
We’ll take a look at the things you need to do differently

If it is true, than why aren’t I successful?

I did not say that success is easy, I said it is easier than failure
Let’s take a look at failure
- How hard is failure?
- Always working to make the next payment
- Always worrying about how you are going to meet your financial obligations (pay the bills)
- Frustrated that you are unable to have the things you desire
- Stressed and in need of a vacation
- Can you see all the negative vibrations? How does it feel?
Now let’s take a look at success
- Now look at success…
- It’s fun, no worries
- You are doing what you love and you are making money doing it
- You look forward to the day, and to your objectives
- You buy the things you want without going into debt
- You take time off when you want to
So now you can see that living successfully is far easier than living as a failure
Which do you think is easier?
Oh, you say that it’s getting there that is hard

What about getting there… becoming successful?

You should also know that it is also easier to become successful than it is to fall into despair
Yes, this is true too!
I say so, because neither success nor failure is a destination, they are both a journey… which one are you on?
Getting there is “being” there! It’s a state of being, a state of doing, a state of actions and decisions

So what’s the difference and what can I do differently?

The difference is making an conscious effort to choose the path of success
It’s a choice… you must make the decision to go for it
You must set a goal to attain
You must persist!
Have you made decisions?
You must decide on success
Failure is the default, when specific decision aren’t made
That’s because life without a planned destination is like a ship without a rudder… sooner or later you will end up on the rocks, and you definitely will not end up where you want to go
The difference between success and failure is a GOAL, DECISION, and PERSISTENCE – That’s it

There is work to be done

Whether you choose success, or you default to failure, there is work to be done
Working towards success is fun, invigorating, and full of energy
Working to maintain failure is hard, discouraging, and full of worry
Don’t forget the importance of persistence
Looking towards your desire will keep you going
There is no instant gratification here
Those who fail are choosing some kind of instant gratification and/or choosing to avoid pain
Remember, success is a journey, not a destination

Easier said than done… how can I make that easier?

Yes, it is easier said than done, but no matter how tough it may be, it is still an easier path than failure
- When you fail, you are stuck there
- You have no choice but to live that more difficult route
- FYI: You are not actually stuck, you can make a new choice
There are ways to make it easier
The secret is pursuing a desire with enthusiasm
(as opposed to seeking work to make money)
That’s it!
You have to choose a goal anyway (you cannot get “there” if you do not know where “there” is)
You may as well set a goal doing something you love
This universe will not deliver something for nothing
Your reward will be directly proportional to the value you provide
When you are looking for a way to make money, you are seeking a destination
So set your goal doing something you love to do
When you have a worthy goal, you are on your journey
You MUST have a worthy goal!

Let’s recap

Success is easier than failure
It’s easy to see that living successful is easier than living as a failure
It is also easier to become successful than to become a failure
The difference is being willing to do things that do not bring immediate results
You must also make a decision, set a goal, and go for it – enjoy the ride!
It may seem like a lot of work (and it is), but it is EASIER than failing!
