Modern day society is oversaturated with men who want things fast and easy.
Dabblers who drift from one distraction to the next, following the herd, doing what everyone else is doing never realising why they’re doing it.
The best part about that is, if you want to stand out all it takes is a little discipline and perseverance because the common man, drifters and dabblers, doesn’t have it.
You’ll outlast and outplay the dabblers who fail to realise that you can't achieve anything worthwhile unless you're willing to make mistakes.
If you want to achieve and succeed you need to build a solid foundation by learning through the painful process of trial and error and that takes time and effort, being willing to learn from mistakes and temporary defeat.
In this digital newsletter, let’s talk about why trial and error is important when forging your own path and creating your own wave.
Trial and error is a fundamental method of problem solving characterised by repeated, varied attempts which are continued until success.
It is that most basic method of learning, achieving an aim or solving a problem by trying a different number of methods and learning from the mistakes you make without losing any enthusiasm.
Personally, I actually look at temporary defeat and mistakes on the path of learning through trial and error as a win.
I found out what didn’t work.
The trick to moving on quickly is taking ownership of the mistake and move forward. It happened; you can’t change it so why dwell on it?
In modern day society, men who possess problem solving skills are desirable to women because if a man can solve his own problems in life, he is leadership material.
If a man can’t solve his own problems, how can he help other people solve theirs?
If he is blaming and complaining, expecting other people to come save him or do the work for him, then he will never build confidence and self-esteem.
You only build self-esteem by doing things worthy of esteem and the painful process of trial and error, playing the long game and taking the long road, mastering the finer details of your art or craft, is how you do things worthy of esteem.
The number one reason you need to learn through the painful process of trial and error is, what works for them may not and usually doesn’t work for you.
You need to forge your own path and create your own wave, not using the cookie cutter approach like so many dabblers use, and you can’t do it if you think copying what other people do will bring you the kind of success that endures.
If you copy someone then you’re not actually learning anything.
You may achieve a little success here and there but sooner or later, it will all come crashing down.
Pain is your best teacher, and you learn through suffering for it.
Trial and error is the art of learning from those mistakes, finding the path of least resistance so to speak.
If you’re the kind of man who is willing to learn through trial and error, you’ll outlast most of your competitors (if you have any) because most men don’t have the backbone to keep pushing forward after experiencing temporary defeat that comes with trial and error.
Drifters and dabblers give up at the first sign of hardship.
They give up and move on to the next flavour of the month then spend the rest of their life cynical, depressed and miserable; trying to talk other people out of chasing their own hopes, dreams, goals and ambitions because they didn’t have the courage to do it.
When you learn through trial and error you gain valuable wisdom along the way.
You know it’s true because you lived it and that’s the best kind of experience.
It’s priceless.
If you want to win, achieve and succeed then you are going to have to do the work. There’s no easy road to long term success.
You will suffer but what has worth is worth suffering for.
It’s mother nature’s way of testing you to see how bad you actually want it.
It sorts the men from boys real quick.
I hope you find this of value, my brothers!
Keep winning!!
