“1. Apply the Backwards Law…
2. Transform demons into diamonds…
3. Transform failure into a game…
4. Process over Progress…
5. Allow yourself to not give a fuck…
6. Transform your failures into steppingstones:
Look at each of your failures like hard-earned rungs on the precarious ladder of life. Separated, these rungs are just hardened failures collecting dust in the attic of your suffering, but if you put them together you form a ladder that you can climb up into something meaningful.
Collect your failures like the precious little information engines that they are. Combine them for ultimate combustion.
It’s all a matter of perspective. You can choose to languish in the prospect that your setbacks have nothing to teach you, or you can choose to empower yourself by transforming your setbacks into steppingstones toward something greater.
7. Have a sense of humor about failing…
8. Transform failure into art…
9. Let go of your attachment to success…
10. Transform pain into power:
Transforming pain into power is transforming failure into passion. Pain can be your greatest teacher or your ultimate destroyer…
Rise up out of your pain by becoming its student. What you learn will guide you into a robustness of spirit, which will ultimately help you become a force of nature (interdependent), as opposed to merely forced upon by culture (codependent).
The transformation of pain into power becomes a passionate expression of self-overcoming. A fierceness is born that is magnetic. It lights your soul on fire. You become a beacon of light in a dark world, or, even better, a beacon of darkness piercing the blinding light. In short: you become a force to be reckoned with as opposed to a pawn to be toyed with. Despite failure, despite success, the world is yours.”
