Today I want to remember with you the story of Thomas Edison, the man who invented the electric light bulb. It surely does not leave our mind that he has failed many times and sometimes we ask ourselves why have I failed this time?
This man failed more than 1000 times before he managed to make his invention work and when he was asked the question of how he felt after so many times that he had failed in his attempt, he simply answered frankly: "I did not fail, I have only discovered more than 1000 ways in which this invention did not work."
This is key, there is the mentality that totally marks the difference between those who only dream and those who achieve the dream they set for themselves. Thomas Edison understood perfectly that each error brought him closer and closer to success. Just stop and imagine if he had stopped at the 300th attempt, or at the 800th, perhaps today the world would not be as we know it, perhaps the world would still be in darkness.
In life we have different situations, in business for example each one of the failures and no's represents in the end only small learnings and each one of the "no's" that are presented or that we receive, each one of the obstacles that we must face is preparing us for that great moment when things begin to work out.
The key is to persevere and not give up, if today is precisely that day in which you feel stuck or simply think that you are not moving forward, remember that each step counts to achieve success, do not think about the falls, think that the most important thing is the times that you get up and not the times that you fall.
I invite you to take action when? Today, do not wait for the stars to align and for the perfect moment because that moment does not exist. You just have to take the first step even if you do not know what the result will be, always remember that each step brings you closer and closer to your goal, are you willing to keep trying?
