Failure on the Road to Success For every human being
failure is inevitable. It’s your attitude toward failure that
determines if you will succeed or not. Failures provide the tools for
you to become a success, and are opportunities to learn and grow. It’s
the quitters in life who fail. The winners in life keep trying, and
learning from their mistakes. Failures are the big “ta-dah’s” in
life!
Life is a journey and there are always forks in the
road. You do have the choice of which road to take. Maybe you have
chosen a road that doesn’t work for you; it doesn’t mean that you
can’t turn around. Have you ever been lost driving in a new town? I’m
presuming you eventually found your way out. In finding your way out I’m
also going to presume you learned one of at least two things; either a
great new short-cut to your destination or which road not to take again!
We are all born with a God-given determination and
persistence to achieve what we want. We just have to keep trying until
we discover what works to get it. It’s like learning how to walk. You
didn’t quit — no matter how many times you failed. You kept getting
right back up and trying until you succeeded. You succeeded the only way
possible — through dogged persistence. Don’t let the failures in
life tempt you to quit. Learn from them and know that if you don’t
quit — you will win!
