This Is The Freedom You Need

"The freedom to fail is vital if you're to suceed.
Most successful people fail from time to time,
and it is a measure of their strength that failure 
merely propels them into some new attempt at success."- 
Michael Korda, novelist

Freedom is not free. It is a responsibility.
But the freedom you need if you are going 
make it in life is 'the freedom to fail', to make mistakes.

When you fail, do not walk away from it. 
Because failure is a teacher.
It forces us to accept reality, to look within us,
to question ourselves, to question our goals, our dreams.
Failure also forces us to be true to ourselves, 
to face our lives, to take things seriously, 
to face our weaknesses, and where we want to go.

If you are not willing to fail, you are not willing to succeed.
Because failure is the master. You can't master anything without it.
You can't succeed without it.
So if you want to be successful, you must master failure.
You must be comfortable with your failures.

Try To Be Better Than Yourself

"Always dream and shoot higher than 
you know you can do. 
Do not bother just to be better than 
your contemporaries or predecessors.
Try to be better than yourself."- William Faulkner

Nothing stays the same. Everything in life is changing. 
If you want to be a part of the game, you must
always try to stretch yourself more than you
think you can stretch.

When you shoot higher, you will learn more.
when you shoot higher, you will fail more.
When you shoot higher, you will achieve more.
Why is that?
Because higher is more.
