— “Success is the culmination of learning from many failures.”
Throughout history, there have been many stories displaying the undeniable power of the human mind to succeed in adversity. Is there a common element in each of these ground-breaking stories? The answer is, YES! Enthusiasm is the core component that drives success. Want to learn and obtain enthusiasm for yourself? Fox Beyer has created a 5-step process for you to adapt and maintain enthusiasm, called F.A.C.T.S.
Understanding (F) failures that will accompany the journey to success and transform themselves into learning experiences, and hardships are simply pit stops on the road to success; Embracing (A) authenticity, by simply being ourselves, we begin to establish a mindset of winning tranquility; one that can adapt to changing situations with both ease and rock-solid assurance; (C) comparisons to others must be avoided. Unfair and often unrealistic, they are enthusiasm-sucking leeches; (T) turning off noise further fills our enthusiasm's cup. By integrating the practice of silence into our daily routines, we calmly devise ways to perform more efficiently and productively despite circumstances out of our control; By (S) spending time with people we trust, our adaptive skills and enthusiasm can further be strengthened. Those we trust listen, encourage, and challenge us, thereby enhancing our ability to navigate challenges- WITH ENTHUSIASM!
