The way I look at it is: There are two results that you observe and a variable action (or set of actions) and thought pattern.
1. The desired (expected) result(s) – when you achieve what you want through your thoughts and actions; this is what we desire.
2. Other-than-desired result(s) – when you do not achieve what you want through your thoughts and actions; this just means we did not use the proper thought(s) or action(s) and we need to change our thought(s) and/or action(s)
So, if you don’t get the results you want, change your action. You may even have to change the way you think about the results you desire.
World-renown authors Mark Victor Hansen & Jack Canfield (Chicken Soup for the Soul series) were turned down by 126 publishers before someone agree to publish their first book. They have now sold over 112 Million books and according to a recent Harris Polls, 88.7% of the public recognizes the Chicken Soup for the Soul brand and knows what it is.
Colonel Sanders was turned down 1009 time before he found someone to accept his then not-so-famous fried chicken recipe which is now famous around the world through the Kentucky Fried Chicken brand.
By many accounts, it took at least 2,000 separate experiments and maybe as many as 5,000 to 10,000 experiments, sub- experiments and tests before Thomas Edison perfected the incandescent light bulb… and then it really wasn’t “perfected” it took more than another century for the introduction and wide-spread acceptance of the CPL light bulb.
So, just because you don’t get the results you desire doesn’t mean you should give up – just try something different!
