Fail your way to Success!

Today I decided to send you some thoughts on failure. Most people have a fear of failing and try to avoid failure in any way that they can. As you will read in these thoughts, failure is the only thing that is gauranteed on the road to success.

For those of you who are parents out there, how many times did you let your little baby try to learn how to walk before you made them give up? You're probably saying as many times as it takes and as long as it takes right? Absolutely!

I don't know what happens to us as we get older, but we lose this mentality somewhere during adolesence. Maybe it is the constant negativity that surrounds each of us on a daily basis. Or maybe it is our school systems that teach us that it is unacceptable to fail. Whatever it is we need to realize that failure is just one step closer to success.

A couple of my personal favorite quotes on failure are "The only mistake you make, is the one that you don't learn from" and "The only way to fail is to quit."

Here are the rest of the thoughts for the day.

Enjoy!

Take care and make it a great day!

You're the Best!
