Winners are optimistic and as I have emphasized many times before look upon things going wrong as anomalies rather than the norm. They take responsibility for what happens to them in as much as they are able to respond to every situation in a proactive way. They understand that having setbacks is normal and is spice of a successful life and thus persist and continue having learned the lessons of the setback.

To see the natural God given success mechanism in all human’s look at children learning to walk. They try something and if it does not work they fall down. They might even cry for a little while but soon they smile get up and try something else. When something works, they repeat it. When it does not, they don’t. That’s why all children who have no organic problems and are not totally abused end up learning to walk.

They and other winners instinctively know that there is a silver lining within each and every cloud. The first silver lining is: What can be learned from this experience? Someone once said, “Success comes from learning. Learning comes from experience. Experience comes from things going wrong.” This is something you can do with every action you take. Ask what did I learn from this? How can I do better next time? Is there any other related thing that I can do given what I have learned from this experience?

There are many other possible silver linings but they are different depending on the situation involved. Jesus said, “Seek and you shall find.” Thus if you seek for the silver lining, you will find it and will thus learn and achieve more in the long run and Feel Good.
