Perspective – It’s Uniquely Yours.

Steven Diamond, the founder of StopStressingNow.Com talks about perspective and how it can change your understanding of the reality you live in.

The Unexpected

There are times in life when the unexpected happens. Through no fault of your own, things occur that can make you feel as if there is some unbelievable dark cloud hanging over your head. Mine seems to have followed me everywhere over the past year. Usually, it appears to us that it happens at the worse possible time. Case in point: On monday of this week while slowing down for a stop light I was rear-ended violently forcing my car into the car in front of me. It was raining really bad outside and the roads were very slick. It never rains in Las Vegas. But it was on monday night. I didn’t think I was hurt at first, but a few hours later I knew something wasn’t right. My back and neck and ribs were killing me.I’ll spare you the dramatic and gory details of the next few days.

Failure – Just Another Word For Feedback

Through out history, the word “failure” has some how come to mean very negative things. Most people would agree that it represents everything we “think” we don’t want. No one wants to fail. No one wants to be labeled a failure. However, over the years I have embraced quite a different perspective of that word we all fear. To me, failure is just another word for “Feedback”.

Personally, I don’t believe in failure. It occurred to me sometime ago that people who do, are almost doomed to a life of mediocrity.

Here’s what Wikipedia says about “Failure”:

“Failure refers to the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success.”
