You have the right to change, and to fail.

This is a special power that we have. We can change a lot of things in our lives simply by making a decision and committing to it. Take a moment and think about some of the things that you want to change in your life. Have you done an attitude check recently? What are your first thoughts on a rainy morning? How do you treat others? What is your outlook on life?

As a teenager, I changed myself as I changed schools. I consciously changed my name from Bobby to Bob. I changed shy Bobby into outgoing Bob. Later in my teenage years, as I learned about the powers of the mind, I changed my outlook on life from external to internal. It became important for me to realize my own dreams.

When I started my career I changed my language to be more businesslike. As I changed jobs and acquired more responsibility I improved my work habits. When I got married I changed, as I had children I changed, and when I went into business for myself I changed.

We are constantly changing. What we must keep in mind, though, is that we do not always change for the right reasons. We let circumstances change us. But changes should be internally-driven, not circumstance-driven. Look inside and consciously choose the changes you want to make in your life.

When we make a decision to do something, we take a risk. It takes courage to change, because change is not always successful. And this is where many people give in. However,

You have the right to fail.

When society realizes the good that comes out of failure, and recognizes people for trying, the world will be better for it. All success comes from failure. No one in the world has succeeded without first trying, failing, learning, making changes, and moving on. Always remember that you have the right to fail; you no longer have to make excuses for your failed attempts. Instead, reflect on that failure and learn from it. That experience will provide you with better judgment for the future, and will eventually lead you to success.

Failure is part of my daily life. I don’t always take the time to think things out. I am a doer; I learn and move forward by doing. This gives me lots of opportunity to fail, and to be criticized. I have experienced so much failure in my life that I am now wise because of it.

I believe that both failure and success are part of life’s balance. The more you try, the more you fail, and the more you succeed. If you don’t try, you neither fail nor succeed. Remember: “ The man who never made a mistake never made anything.”

Failure is not easy to accept. You need to be able to see the good behind every experience in life. Rather than criticizing yourself or others for failure, recognize the effort of trying, the things that were done right, and the lessons learned.
