You have to be able to accept, own and embrace all kinds of failure to find your success

in 2021 I spent 3 months in hospital. I woke up here after collapsing in my bedroom. If it was not for my gf I would of died in my apartment in Mexico.

Measuring success through constant reflection.

Measuring success without loss is impossible.

At 25, I was at my peak.

My restaurants were doing a million dollars a month.

But I dropped the ball.

It’s true. It has made me a better person. I was 27 years old.

It’s great that I used to be great.

In the middle of my shoulders, there was a lot of pressure.

Love is nothing when you are scared of success.

We are all puppets without reflecting on the time we have made mistakes.

The love is nothing if you are scared of success.

A late friend told me this. Years ago.

Love what you do and you will not be scared of anything anymore, Bryce.

We all make mistakes, but I believe that making mistakes helps us learn.

In my opinion, this is how we measure success as well.

The lessons I learned from going broke and coming back to the top are part of living.

You don’t have to lose everything to appreciate something.

But you have to lose something.

Have you ever found yourself wondering what success really means to you?

There are some guys I know who live a rockstar’s life but are always complaining.

A client I work with and I just finished a meeting with them.

Everything he needs is there, including his shiny new AMG.

Shiny things haven’t made me happy for a long time.

Due to bad decisions, I lost a lot but gained everything.

If you want to take this from my hands again, you must be god, and only god will be able to do so.

We are all puppets without reflection on the time we have made mistakes.

You have to lose something to appreciate everything.

I lost a friend and and nearly my life.

I am lucky to have battled my way out hospital.

What is True Success?

There is no one answer to this question. Success means different things to different people.

For some, success might mean achieving wealth or fame.

For others, it might mean leading a happy and fulfilling life.

There are many ways to measure success. One way is to look at how much money or possessions someone has.

Another way is to look at how happy and content someone seems.

Some people believe that success is about more than just money and possessions.

They believe that it’s also about making a positive impact on the world. This could mean volunteering for a good cause, or working to make your community a better place.

No matter what your definition of success is, there are many ways to achieve it.

It’s up to you to decide what success looks like for you, and then go out find it.

How do you measure your success?

How do you measure success? This is a question that we all ask ourselves at some point in our lives.

There is no easy answer, as success means different things to different people.

For some, success might be measured in terms of wealth or fame, while others might deem it more important to have a happy and fulfilling life.

There are many ways to measure success, and it is up to each individual to decide what is most important to them.

Some people might keep track of their achievements and accomplishments, while others might focus on how they are feeling day-to-day.

No matter how you choose to measure it, remember that success is unique to each person and can be achieved in many different ways.

Reflecting on success

“It’s not about the destination, it’s about the journey.”

This is a quote that I live by. To me, success is not defined by a final goal or outcome.

Instead, success is defined by what we do along the way to get there. It’s the effort we put in, the obstacles we overcome, and the lessons we learn along the way.

To measure success, we need to look at our journey, not just our destination.

Are we working hard?

Are we learning and growing?

Are we making progress?

These are all important factors to consider when determining how successful we are.

Success is not always possible to achieve.

But if we focus on our journey and give it our best effort, then we can be proud of whatever result we achieve.

Give yourself some credit

Giving yourself credit may seem like pointless self-indulgence, but it’s actually an important part of achieving success.

When you give yourself credit, you’re acknowledging your own accomplishments and effort, which can help to increase your confidence and motivation.

It can be easy to focus on your failures and dwell on your mistakes, but giving yourself credit for your successes — no matter how small — can help to boost your morale and remind you that you’re capable of achieving great things.

So next time you accomplish something, take a moment to give yourself a pat on the back — you deserve it!
