It’s holidays again and it’s also the end of the year.
It’s time for resolutions and goal setting.
And it’s also time for self-evaluation…
Time flies. Isn’t it?
It feels like 2018 started just a few days back and we are already at the end of the year. But then that’s how it is meant to be. Else we might get bored of the dull and slow-moving life. Isn’t it?
We started this year with a lot of plans. We set some very high goals for ourselves at the beginning of the year, both on the personal front and on our business as well.
We were able to achieve some of them and we missed on some. But again, that is part and parcel of the game.
Whatever we achieved will go into our books are achievements. The next year we will set our goals a little higher than what we achieved.
But whatever we missed are the ones that will give us the learnings for our future.
Dilip always keeps telling me that it is here that a lot of people falter. They delete all of the data of their failures and move on.
And this only means that they are going to need a few extra attempts before they can actually achieve these same goals again.
Why?
Because they didn’t decipher the reason why they failed at the first place.
Reconciliation and re-evaluation is an important part of preparing for success. Every failure is a learning experience and if you can decipher your failures, take note of the reasons why you failed and work on improving them, then the possibility of you getting success increases manifolds.
So I would recommend that you do spend some time to evaluate your failures for the last year, as you cherish your wins.
