Determination is one of the most important ingredients of Success!

About Determination and Success 

Good morning, folks! I am Jin with Morning Mindfulness Podcast. Hope you’re having a terrific day! Let’s breathe and smile.

When I was growing up, I was not a very proactive kid. There was a comfort zone, where I knew I could do whatever I wanted. But that comfort zone was very small. Everything else was giving me a nervous breakdown if I had to do it for the first time. I was doubting my own abilities. What if it doesn’t work? What if I fail? What if I cannot do it? What if.. whatever. I would wait until the last moment when I could not delay any longer.

My first transformation started at my yoga class, when I was trying to stand on my head for the first time without any wall support. Outside on the grass. My teacher said, “You won’t fall bellow the ground!”

Did I fall? Yes I did. But it was a beginning of my “I CAN” attitude. I started collecting Cans. Not aluminum soda cans, but rather what I CAN do.

When I was studying at the university, we had most of our exams done verbally. We spoke to the examiner or even a group of examiners, talk in front of people.

That used to scare me. I’d wait until the very end. But at some point it changed. I started going first. Nobody wanted to go first. But I would. Because I could. I changed my “What if?” attitude to “I Can!”

And later I learned from my coach, that success comes in CANs, and failure comes in CANNOTs. Think about it. Whatever you may be doubting, like “Can I?” Yes, you can. Will you? Only you can answer that.

Thanks for stopping by.
