Tactics Show You Can Turn This Around: Dealing With Perceived Failure or Disappointment

From time to time many of us feel as though we have failed at something. Some of us may feel disappointed at the outcome of a situation that may not have ended to our liking.  The question is: how do you handle the feelings of failure or disappointment?

The word failure comes from the 1100’s, Middle English, meaning to disappoint, to deceive.

In reality nothing ever really fails, it is only our reaction to a standard we have set, a measure that a situation or a somebody should, in our estimation, have a particular outcome. Although we may experience something as having failed, truthfully WE can never be a failure.  Thinking we’re a failure is taking a moment and creating a belief about ourselves and attaching the failure to an idea of who we are, our life or existence. And it simply is not true. If actually there has been a breakdown in your life and a failed situation, the way to handle it is to learn from the experience, fix it or make an amends and then go on with your life knowing that you now know better and will do better. When you beat yourself up you stay stuck.  When you know better you do better.

Movement is energy and energy needs to move so forgive yourself and others, right what has happened, learn your lesson with love and grace and take the next right step in your life.

If you’re feeling failed or disappointed, feel into it and ask yourself – is this perception of myself mine or does this belong to someone else? If it is someone else’s idea of you then return it to sender with love attached. If it belongs to you then where does that belief comes from? And honestly is it serving you or swerving your life off-course? What did you do that you can choose to not do again? Prove to yourself that you do better, accept yourself and allow yourself to move forward with your life in a direction that matters to you. 

Dance with life; allow the journey with its ebbs and flows, its successes and failures.  How we perceive all of these events is in our minds.  We choose the thoughts we think.    Accept       Choose    Take Action

Trust life and the most extraordinary things will happen. Trust yourself and build a rapport with yourself to know to do and be the best you you can be. As you develop an intimate relationship with yourself you will learn you can depend on yourself, and after all it is YOU you’ll be traveling this entire life with, not to mention the next life and the next!  Be in your day the way you want to live your life. Focus your thoughts in a positive direction.  Draw to yourself exactly what you need.

Just as important is to remember to let life take over to fix things. We are not alone. We are much beloved by unseen friends.  We must do what we can and then let go to allow the healing to begin.

Here’s one example from my personal life, and how I could have perceived and received this as disappointment or as just another event. I have had a producer interested in me for years. This producer is attached to a very well known actor who funds big projects. I’ve had coffee with the producer and his partner several times. Each time we got together, the producer talks about how he loves my show and what I’m doing. He sees me working with him and shifting what I’m doing into bigger venues doing bigger things.  In our meetings there were promises made and interest expressed and then after our meeting – nothing. Disappointing? Yes. My secret is I do not wait and wonder if something will come through, because time marches on and so must I. Therefore I kept and continue to put myself out there in big ways which continues to reap results. The producer pursued working with me through discussions and then stopped the planning and for 2 years now I have NOT heard from him. Yesterday, out of the blue, I heard this producer’s name mentioned regarding a project by a colleague, and suddenly one hour later, I received a call from the producer – after two years! In the call he shared that he and his partner want to get together with me for coffee to talk (again). They have new plans; they’re in a new place, and with new ideas. I will show up for the opportunity. I will remain open and hear what is new in their space and what their renewed interest is in working with me, and I’ll see how it feels. I will not put stock into what may or may not happen. If working with them works out: terrific. If it doesn’t: terrific. I believe if this connection does not come to fruition in my life then it isn’t meant to be and there’s something much better, much juicier in store for me instead.

Disappointment is what happens when I have an expectation. I go into this and most things with no expectation. With all the things I wheel and deal and all the calls and interest I get from so many different factions it is like pasta. Every so often something sticks. I do my best work and be my best self and show up. What is meant to be in my life will be.  This creates a feeling of success and of looking up and forward at all times.

 “Failure is blindness to the strategic element in events; success is readiness for instant action when the opportune moment arrives.” -- Newell D. Hillis

My good friend Beverly Flaxington has just written a hot, bestselling book you don't want to miss on Amazon: http://tinyurl.com/75chxsf called "Make Your SHIFT:: The Five Most Powerful Moves You Can Make to Get Where YOU Want to Go"

Handling Time with Inspired Time Management

Welcome to a new year! Are you too busy? Feeling overwhelmed? Over tasked? Do you have more things to do than there are hours in the day?  If you want to know solutions to manage time then there is a way out and through to the other side. I’ll share some tried and true methods that will halt the feeling of drowning in tasks, and instead will start you creating the day the way you want it to look and feel.

First, take a moment to reflect and write down three things you are doing right now in your life that you hate doing and make your energy feel low. Take a look at those three things. Besides regretfully doing the chore or assignment even when it does not make your world feel lighter, what can you do to stop doing the task or give it to someone else? Give yourself a moment of pause to contemplate how this can show up differently. Can you stop if altogether? Can you delegate it? Can you barter? What is possible? Come up with several solutions and choose the one that feels right and best to implement right away. If, for instance, laundry is on the list, look at taking back your time and energy around doing laundry. There are laundry services. You can farm out your laundry every week and paying for the service will free you up. Or your house cleaning company may be willing to also do your laundry in addition to cleaning your home or apartment for a small addition fee.  You can barter with someone, or you can delegate the responsibility to someone else.

How about people you spend time with who do not add anything to your life? Any kind of rut you’re in that is zapping your energy can be dealt with. Sit down and freely focus on solutions…just let them flow and see what is possible. Once you notice a solution that is viable, start to implement the resolution, which is your way out of overwhelm, and take back your precious time!  The key here is to find the major tasks and/or relationships you engage in that are taking the life from you and are not contributing to your life. You are hereby empowered to reverse that. Try it on just one thing and see what the result is for yourself.
Now write down three things that you LOVE doing. What are they? How much of your day and week is spent doing these three things you love the most? If it is 65 percent and up, then you’re doing great. If it is less than 65 percent then it’s time to factor your biggest pleasure into your routine much more. We are here briefly and time goes by quickly. It’s how we choose to fill the time that matters. Figure out how to bring your passion more into your life. Write and freely focus on possible solutions. What’s possible? See what comes out of you – you’ll know when you find a viable, workable solution because it will feel exciting to you.
For some, poor time management is a result of waffling over choices; there are issues with indecision. Indecisiveness manifests within us when we are focused on what is outside of us.  In other words, when we worry about what our family will think, what our friends would or wouldn’t do, what we perceive is acceptable to society, anything that causes us to focus on outside validation means we have just created separation with ourselves.  It is vital to start – right now- to listen to your heart song inside. If you want to know what is or isn’t right for you listen.  If you breathe, get quiet and connect to your heart and intuition where you can ask questions and receive perfect information that is right for you. Follow your own internal guidance. The more you do it the stronger it will become until that's all you know to do. Stop allowing indecision to sabotage your dreams and your time.  Listen within anytime fear and indecision pops up. Wipe out all the chatter and voices and know what you are meant to do and when.

Healing time management means two things:  meditating and relaxing. Stopping doing so much and finding balance in just being. That is often contrary action and contrary thinking for many of us however it is precisely what we need to do. And truth be known, we know it! We know it because we’re tired and overwhelmed and overburdened. To stop and breathe and do nothing at least one time every day – just for you. 

Another remedy for handling time management is to have a plan. Plan your day or plan to fail. When I see a smorgasbord of to-do’s that has the potential of drowning me, I take five minutes to look over my physical and virtual pile of tasks. I then put everything in order, usually on paper, and do one at a time from the most important down. Often there are days when realistically I know only a super being could do everything that’s in the in-box. I create a successful situation by choosing the top 3 or 4 to-dos and my goal for the day is to ONLY accomplish those 3-4 items. When I complete them then I end my day and feel very successful.  If I finish them and have plenty of time left over I have the option of looking at the 5th most impotent item on my list and handling that.  I create a winning situation by taking contrary action.
It may seem we should take on everything and multitask and not finish until the very last thing is done, however how successful have you ever been at that? Probably never. And if you even did it I know you were wiped out afterwards.  We’re too important. To-do’s will always be there. We’re going for feeling terrific, successful and confident.

Take what you can realistically handle and let the rest go. It’s amazing how much you can actually accomplish this way, and how great you can feel afterwards.  Use these solutions to manage time and start creating the day the way you want it to look and feel.

Up Your Gratitude


"Nothing can add more power to your life than concentrating all your energies on a limited set of targets." -- Nido Qubein, Author and Speaker

Up Your Gratitude
About three years ago, a man named John went out for hike on New Year’s Day. He was feeling down and at an all-time low. He was overweight. His law practice was losing money.  He was entangled in a divorce and living in a depressing apartment.  The woman he’d been dating recently had broken off their relationship.  While on the hike he decided that he would stop focusing on all he wanted and what he had lost, instead he would begin to be grateful for what he had. An idea popped into his head – to express a year of thank you. And the project transformed his life. 
John began to see how he had been blessed by so many people in different ways and as he acknowledged their blessings, his blessings began to multiply.  As he thanked colleagues for directly cases to him – they referred more. He expressed gratitude to clients for paying promptly and they did so even more quickly.  His thank you notes told people how much their kindness meant, and they started to respond and reflect the same message back.

John’s 260th thank you note went to a Starbucks barista named Kimber, when he wrote how her working on Thanksgiving made such a difference. He acknowledged that the time and effort she took to learn his name and greet him each day made him feel like a person and not a number. The small things can make such a difference.  Kimber nearly broke down reading the note which made her realize that what she did at work did count.
It took him 365 days but every day John succeeded in writing a thank you to express his gratitude to a different person every day. His life is changed because of it and he wrote a book called “A Simple Act of Gratitude,” by John Kralik.

What if we all started right now to do the same?  Let’s up our gratitude.  Grab a pen and paper (or stationary or card).  Let’s not do this in an email but rather take the time to share our gratitude so it is received with proper impact.  Handwritten notes are special as though we are there with the person.  

Next, be specific. You can write someone who has given you a present: “Dear So-and-So," identify the gift (“the beautiful scarf”) and say one sincere thing about why you like it (“It is perfect to keep me warm during these cool months”).

After thanking your close friends and family, write to people who helped you at critical moments. Reach out to a doctor who helped, or a banker, or a janitor, a waitress, the postman, anyone who showed up for you in a way that makes a difference.

Keep it short – your message does not need to be long, just heartfelt. Keep your focus on the thank you and other person’s kindness which can be done in a few sentences.

Please let me start here by saying to YOU from the bottom of my heart:
“Thank you, all you Dare to Dream radio show listeners for making my dream come true. This show would not exist without you. I show up each week to share inspiration and an amazing interview guest. And because of you there are millions of people out there hearing the shows, getting it and changing your lives because of it.  Thank you being the most amazing, considerate audience – how did I get so lucky?  On a daily basis I receive feedback from you - your upbeat, positive comments mean everything. It keeps me and this show going.  And last, my sincere gratitude - many of you are out doing this work too – having goals and dreams and doing what it takes to make your dreams your reality. I could not do this alone; I am so thankful and appreciative that you are on this ride with me.” 
-- With love, Debbi Dachinger
