Failing is Definitely Possible










           Everyone will define success in their own way. The most profound definitions
           can come from persons that have become content with their failure. They’ve
           tired of fighting and have nothing else to contribute to self, family, community
           or society.


           If you are broke and in need of money, you will have to check your pride and get
           some hustle about yourself. Something needs to be pawned (if you have
           anything of value) or something needs to be sold. However, “begging” is
           another option. And failure or just simply givin’ up or givin’ in should never be an
           option.


           When it comes to selling things, we know that anything that has been
           purchased can be sold. Think about it! Food items, recycled bottles/cans,
           artwork, handcrafts, etc. In other words, to have nothing means that you have
           convinced yourself that your pride is more valuable than your health. It does not
           matter what you paid for it. The idea is to buy some time for yourself, live
           cheaply as possible for as long as possible (not the rest of your life) and
           regroup.

           The options are endless. Examples are everywhere. Mexico changed my
           perspective of hustling. I am a hustler in a sense despite the fact that I have
           degrees and work as a professional. I will not lie to my clients or patients. I tell it
           like it is. My honesty and facial expressions have gotten me into a lot of trouble.
           And I admit that I do not like selling. Yet, I might be lying because I like knowing
           that I can eat, care for my family and do the things that I like doing.  As a matter
           of fact, I often remind persons visiting my office not to make me sell to them.
           But  I am in a field that is not always taken seriously because a many holistic
           health practitioners have not been taught how to sell their services.

           You do not have to commit crimes or watch others enjoy life. What you must do
           is become knowledgeable about what it is that you wish to sell or the service
           that you desire to offer. This will make what you do more enjoyable. No one
           should work a job just to get a measly paycheck.
