Failure!!

Thoughts about failure…

“Did you know that Walt Disney was once fired from his newspaper job because his editor said he lacked creativity? Before J.K. Rowling became a stellar author, she was a single mother on public assistance. The list of iconic people throughout history is full of failures.”

Went on to conclude…

“What made the difference was that they used their mistakes as a learning tool. They had enough positive energy to get up and go again, and you can follow their example. Stop beating yourself up about your past failures and instead use them as motivation to improve. You won’t give up if you believe enough in yourself and your goals. Keep trying until you are where you want to be.”

And these final thoughts on the subject of failure…

Don’t let any failure make you into a failure. Use it as another step to success.

You attempted something and it didn’t work. Rather than holding you back from another attempt, let that experience prepare you for your next attempt.

You tried fifteen times and nothing worked. Do you have what it takes for number sixteen and beyond?

To be strong enough to achieve, you must be persistent enough to pick yourself up after each disappointment, including this one. Otherwise, that valuable experience you just gained will be lost.

The only things that can ever have value to you are the things you’ve invested yourself in. Each setback is an opportunity to invest more, and to enlarge the size of your eventual reward.

Throughout history, success has been built with a combination of failure and persistence. Continue that legacy, and build some great new success of your own.
