FAILURE IS NOT FINAL


I wonder if you are like me! I have failed in many things, in many ways, so many times.

Even when you fail, it is not over. Failure is not a person, it is an event. Failure is not suppose to make your bitter but better. As we all know that no condition is permanent therefore failure is not a permanent situation.

 John Mason said “if you fall pick something up”. The issue is not whether you will fail, because you will. The issue is what you do when you fail.  Failure can either mark the beginning of your rising or destruction.

A lot of great people being talked about today, failed several times but never give up. They kept standing up after every fall and know they are standing tall.  Michelangelo failed many times before painting his masterpiece between the ages of 71-89. Abraham Lincoln failed so many times, am sure you know his story, yet became the 16thPresident of USA.

Have you failed so much you lost everything? Sorry, but that is the perfects place to start. You don’t begin to live until you have lost everything.
Don’t let the fear of failure stop you from moving out of your comfort zone, because the earlier you test the waters the better for your destiny.

Failure is an opportunity to do it better next time, it is a stepping stone to your greatest. He who fears to fail, has already fail. W. Clement said “Failure is experienced by those who, when they experience defeat, stop trying to find something more”.

Remember you don’t drown by falling inside water, you drown by staying there.  Stop beating yourself up over your failures, opportunities far greater than those you have lost lies ahead of you.
