Those little failures are just setbacks,
they're not permanent disqualifiers.
So I wanna introduce some powerful tips
that you can follow that will turn your little failures
into building blocks for success.

Every now and then, I like to go back.
I like to read the reviews, and I like to really learn
about what's going on with the challenges
that people are facing every single day,
and a lot of people are facing health challenges.
Not only are they facing relationship challenges,
work challenges, stress challenges,
anxiety challenges, depression challenges, sleep challenges,
I mean, I thought things would get better
over the last 20 years, and they have in a lot of scenarios.
We've educated millions of people.
Millions and millions of people around the world
are taking responsibility for their own lives,
which is a good thing,
but I hear a lot that people are failing at this,
or I failed to lose weight on my diet,
or I'm failing at work,
and so I wanted to talk about failure,
because I've had a lot of failures in my life.
When I got into natural medicine,
and we started a cancer clinic in 1998
because we had the research
that we had finished on the root cause of disease,
we had the research from all the different doctors
that we interviewed for years
from around the world that were treating cancer
and degenerative disease using natural methods.
We had all of that.
I wanted to be a heart surgeon originally.
I was in school, college, for 12 years.
Started off wanting to be an attorney,
and looking back at all of these different things,
even going back to when I was in middle school,
and before that, I was never a good student.
I was a C student, and I had a lot of failures in my life,
and it wasn't until I really started
diving into personal development, spiritual development,
trying to find out about myself,
really learning more about myself,
that I realized that failures
are actually stepping stones to success,
and that's what I wanna talk about today,
because failing is not something
that only you experience.
There's many, many successful, famous people
that have failed at different points in their lives.
Bill Gates, J. K. Rowling,
Jack Ma at Alibaba.
Thomas Edison, he worked on the light bulb.
Some people say he failed 1,000 times.
Some people say he failed 6,000 times.
No one really knows how many times he failed,
but he said that it was never a failure.
It was just 1,000 steps that it took to get to success,
and what really bothers me
is that only 1% of the population
in this world is successful,
and that's based on how much money you make,
but what I base success on
is how calm and happy you are in your life,
because, listen, I've had lots of billionaires,
and lots of millionaires, multi-millionaires,
come to me that are depressed,
that are sick, that are unhealthy,
so I can tell you right now that money and success,
if you wanna say that money is success, that's not true,
because most of the successful people
who say they're successful because they're rich
are the ones suffering with the most health conditions.
I've had people that made all this money,
but then they're so sick
that they can't even do anything with it.
They're in a wheelchair, they're on oxygen,
because they have COPD, or something like that,
so getting back to failures, though, I will say this.
Anyone who's successful has had multiple failures,
which I like to say failures are learning experiences,
and when you translate that to health,
when you translate that to what are you doing
to become a better person.
Let's say you get in an argument in your relationship,
or you get in an argument with somebody.
You can take that as a failure,
or you could take that as a learning experience.
You can take that as what did I do
that I can become a better person with?
That's what I've learned how to do in my life.
I don't even consider, I like to take on new challenges.
I like to have these little failures,
because without trying new things,
you're stagnant, you're not moving forward.
I've talked a lot about the 90 10 rule.
Doing 90% of things good,
and 10% allowing yourself to do some other things,
for example, go eat out at a restaurant somewhere,
or have some pizza, or do whatever,
and I've also talked about improving yourself.
What I try to do is improve myself 365% every single year,
and that means improving 1% every single day.
So that might mean skipping a meal that day,
or that might mean doing a little bit
more exercise that day.
For example, in an Olympic competition
where there might be 10 of the best athletes in the world,
there's also nine failures every time they compete.
One of Stephen King's most popular movies, Carrie,
was rejected 30 times before it was published.
I was told that there was no way I would be successful
getting into natural medicine 20 years ago.
We almost went bankrupt three times.
I didn't consider those a failure.
I love what I'm doing, I'm following my dream.
That's another thing that you have
the power within you to do.
Those little failures are just setbacks,
they're not permanent disqualifiers.
So I wanna introduce some powerful tips that you can follow
that will turn your little failures
into building blocks for success.
Most people stop when they don't succeed.
They might try a diet for a week or two,
and then they just stop,
and that's why there's only 1%
of the population that's successful,
and when I talk about success, it's well-rounded balance.
Success to me is balance.
That means your personal life is balanced,
your spiritual life is balanced,
and your relationship life is balanced,
and your business life is balanced,
and you're gonna go through times in your life
where you're spending a lot of your time in your business,
or at work, and then you're gonna go through other times
where your relationship needs more of your time,
and then you're gonna go through times
where you need more time to work on yourself.
Don't forget about yourself.
Failures teach you what not to do,
or how you can improve so you don't make
the same mistakes again.
So instead of seeing failure as something detrimental
to success, we have to see it as a tool for success.
A tool that helps us refine our path,
and allows us to learn what works and what doesn't.
Think about when you're a kid,
and you're learning how to walk.
How many times do you fall down, and you get back up again,
and you fall down, and you get back up again?
See, we lose that mentality somewhere in our life.
I don't know where, but that's that passion
and that drive of never giving up.
I think a lot of people just get stuck
in the comfort zone of everyday life.
Doing the same thing over, and over again,
and not improving, and not growing.
So fail early, and often.
Those who fail early and often
tend to become successful sooner.
You also wanna look at who you hang out with.
Are those people around you telling you
that you can't do this?
That you shouldn't follow your dreams?
That you should stay in your job
because you have steady income coming in?
What are your friends, your family,
the people you hang out with, your co-workers telling you?
Are they giving you negative feedback,
or are they giving you positive feedback?
Are they giving you 1,000 reasons
why you can't do something?
I don't even like to use the word can't.
Let's eliminate that from your vocabulary, if you can.
Just ask yourself why sometimes,
like what am I doing right now?
Why am I doing what I'm doing?
How can I improve myself?
And don't be so harsh on yourself
whenever you think that you've failed at something,
and this happens all the time in the natural health,
because people start a new healthcare program.
They start a program for their heart,
or their liver, or their arthritis.
You really need to have a clear vision of your why,
like why are you here, why are you in these relationships,
why are you struggling with your health,
and determine the whys that are unanswered in your life,
and then you can come up with solutions,
and if you just take those solutions
and do a little bit every single day,
you're gonna be making progress.
So don't beat yourself up for failing,
because when you do beat yourself up for failing,
you create a very low vibrational energy field
in your system.
Lack of self confidence, stress, anxiety, depression.
Those are all things that are gonna bring you down.
Those are not success.
Those can all be looked at as failures,
and if you're suffering from anything like that,
you can change now, you can change tomorrow,
that's the beauty of everything.
Change is only a second away.
You could reframe how you view failure,
and use it as a challenge.
You can come alive in your life.
As a matter of fact, I did a video on that,
so I would recommend that you watch my Come Alive video,
and it talks about being 1% better every single day,
and at the end of the year, you're 365% better.
But just remember, all of these little failures
lead to success if you keep going.
If you learn from your failures.
Evaluate your work situation.
That's where you're spending a lot of time every single day.
You wanna be happy.
You wanna feel like you're giving back
at the job that you're doing.
Ask yourself am I failing at my dream,
or am I working towards my dream?
And do the same for your relationships as well,
and do the same for yourself.
