What would be your first action if you borrow someone’s cutlass to chop down a tree and its head got broken in
the process? Will you report the
incidence to the person, look for someone to borrow money from to buy
another one or will you take it to someone who can help you fix it?
Almost every one of us has fallen in want we do at one time or the other. Bouncing back to success from failure is not always easy for most people. For some people a singular failure in what they do can render them redundant for a very long time or even make them quit. I have seen people who decide to take the path of the least resistant, they started out doing things the right way, but now that trouble hits them, short cut becomes an option to bouncing back to life. They cut corners, involve in one sharp practices or the other; step on toes; use fake material, document etc all in a bid to minimize cost and get back to their former glory in little or no time. For those who are honest they will want to employ the traditional method that took them to the top the first time: They will wake up very early to work, dispense so much physical energy; sweat profusely on their job and get home very late and tired. But for a smart and very creative person, maybe someone like you, you won’t consider toeing any of the paths above. Instead you rack your brain to see if there are opportunities that you can leverage on, one that does not require you go the whole hug, the traditional way of the first example above.
The best way to bounce back is to be smart; creative positively. Hence bouncing back to financial success or any other success for that matter requires mental than physical work. While making use of your physical strength; effort is important, coming with a strategy that can by pass all the traditional methods and make you bounce back quickly is superb. So, I am of the opinion that you should try your best to use your brain first before using your brawn or other means.
Anytime I think of a come back from failure to financial success the story of the shrewd steward comes quickly to my mind. This guy lost his job and didn’t know that to do next. But he had a desire to remain relevant in what he does. So following the threat on his job, he posed this rhetorical question to himself: “What shall I do? For my lord taketh away from me the stewardship: I cannot dig; to beg I am ashamed.” Then an idea popped up at him. The idea was to call every one of his master's debtors, make them pay up quickly by slashing the amount they owed. It worked for him like magic. With this plan he bounced back to life immediately and was commended for his ingenuity.
What the shrewd servant did is called thinking outside the box.
Everything I am doing today started when I became sick and tired of things not working for me, especially my finances. I resolved the problem when I decided to think outside the box. You too have to do the same if you want to go from failure or being broke to financial success. You have to wake up from a life of mediocre. You have to starting asking yourself deep questions, like what you must do with your life for things to change for you for the better. You must also leave your comfort zone. Do something extraordinary, those things that ordinary people would not dare to do. Always use your brain first.
