If you have made mistakes, there is always another chance for you.
You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing we call ‘failure’ is not the falling down, but the staying down. — Mary Pickford
There is it in a nutshell.
- Failure is not trying something only to find that it does not work. (THAT according to Thomas Edison is getting a RESULT).
- Failure may mean you may have lost a battle, but it does NOT mean you lost the war.
- Failure is not falling down. It is staying down.
So here’s an encouragement for you for those days that don’t go exactly according to plan, and we all have those right?
You have not actually failed ….. YET.
So don’t camp on that situation, project or whatever it was that did not work out!
It did not work out because you have not yet found the right way to do it.
- Remember Edison. He looked at “failures” as result achieved.
- What results can you see in your situation (lesson, new strategy needed).
- What can you improve on? (Your focus, your training, more time in personal development each day).
So you see a real failure is one who has tripped up, found something that did not work and stayed there complaining and talking about it for the rest of his life.
You are not there. You simply found something that did not work, or an area you need to improve on.
Get up – brush off that horrible feeling of “failure” – you are not one of those.
You have a fresh start in front of you. Take it and go out and win the war!
