Failure is delay, not defeat.
It is a temporary detour, not a dead end.
Failure is something we can avoid only by saying nothing,
doing nothing and being nothing."
- Dennis Waitly
A have come across a lot of people that are so afraid to fail that they don't even try some thing new.
Even if it will expand and improve the quality of their life.
Someone told me once....."If I don't try, it means that I didn't fail. I just say that I didn't feel like trying this particular thing because it wasn't worth an effort or a chance, and after all I wasn't really interesting in trying it anyway. So If I don't try, I cannot fail.....right?"
What do you think?
Are you so afraid of trying something new, even though you would like to, but you talk yourself out of it because you are afraid that you will look foolish or stupid?
Or it might be too much pain and uncertainty involved and you don't like the feeling of not having total control. How about rejection?
Is rejection failure?
Maybe you are being rejected personally or maybe the product/services that you are selling are not doing well.
Being rejected can be an awful feeling, but you can also think of rejection as a form of protection and re-direction.
Maybe your rejection isn't failure? Maybe it's moving you in a direction of something bigger and better that you couldn't see at the moment that you felt like your rejection was a failure?
We don't always know what is around the corner. Maybe a force bigger than you knows something that you don't know? And this force is protecting and you moving you or re-directing you in a different direction than you wanted, but this new direction will actually lead you to a bigger and better opportunity for you?
Just remember this..... failure is not the final destination. It will never be the final destination unless you decide to quit.
Failure is actually a lesson, if you are open to learning what the lesson is here to teach you.
Failure can a lot of times be the greatest teacher.
"Our greatest glory is not in never failing,
but in rising every time we fail."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Fail....fail....fail.....celebrate your failures. Get up and get going and then fail some more.
Every time you fail it will bring you that much closer to success.
"Failure is not the opposite of success;
it's part of success."
- Ariana Huffington
Try something new today.
Something that that you have been wanting to try for a long time or short time.
If you fall, get up right away and try again.
Study the failure and ask yourself.....What can I learn from this? And how can I do it differently next time?
Know that the only failure lies in never trying at all.
You can do it......I believe in YOU!
