Failure isn’t for the weak...
Have you ever read the book The Little Engine That Could? It’s probably my favorite inspirational book. Not too
long ago in a down moment, I was walking through my house and thought, I have failed at so many
things—more things than I’ve achieved. So
I wondered, why don’t I give up?
I mean I’ve failed at important things like:
· Job interviews
· Relationships
· Writing
· Current Job
· And MANY other things
(It may take) 1000 failures = 1 SUCCESS
If my formula for success discourages you, don’t let it. What I’m trying to say is that failure shouldn't mean you give up. Nope. If babies stayed on the floor after they fall down, we would have no walking people.
“With every trip and fall, we learn. Rejections from any source should be our fuel to succeed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life and that is why I succeed.” Michael Jordan
Personally, my failures often give me purpose.
I was shown this video recently and you need to see it, too. We shouldn't give up before we try. And, failure should be your fuel. If you have failed you are strong because failure isn't for the weak.
How about you, what are your thoughts on success and failure?

This has been one summer hasn't it? Our crops are screamin' strong and hard for some rain. 'Seems it goes over, under or around us.
God bless and enjoy the school year sweetie. I WILL return when things 'round here slow down a bit. :o)
Failure is the stepping stone to success... I do believe that!
Not in my book.
You are a mentor and anything you percieve as failure strikes me as a road map you are sharing with the rest of us.

Like you I'll keep plugging away. Not everything I've done has been failure. I've had plenty of wins and life has been good.
