2.5 THE LESSONS OF FAILURE

It is not whether get knocked down. It is whether you get up again - Vince Lombardi

Failure does not mean I'm a failure;

It does mean I have not yet succeeded.

Failure does not mean I have accomplished nothing;

It does mean I have learned something.

Failure does not mean I have been a fool;

It does mean I had enough faith to experiment.

Failure does not mean I have disgraced;

It does mean I have dared to try.

Failure does not mean I don't have it;

It does mean I have something to do in a different way.

Failure does not mean I am inferior;

It does mean I am not perfect.

Failure does not mean I have wasted my life;

It does mean that I have an excuse to start over.

Failure does not mean that I should give up;

It does mean that I should try harder.

Failure does not mean that I will never make it;

It does mean that I need more practice.

Failure does not mean that you have abandoned me;

It does mean that you must have a better idea.

Ponder points

Your birthright has “GREATNESS” written all over it and it takes you from “I can't” to the “I can” way of thinking. You must remove all those personal barricades and branded limitations which deny you access to possibilities. Dare to be the head and not the tail, above and not beneath!

Forget past mistakes, forget failures, forget everything except what you're going to do now ....and do it - William Durrant
