Surround Yourself With People Who Will Tell You The Truth

If you want to grow, if you want to learn,
you must surround yourself with 
people who are not afraid to tell 
you what you need to hear, 
not what you want to hear.

And you must be willing to learn from them.
In the words of Napoleon Hill, "SEEK the counsel
of men who will tell you the truth about 
yourself, even if it hurts you to hear it.
Mere commendation will not bring the
improvement you need."

Every Failure Is A Gift

Failure is not the end of the world.
It is the beginning of a new world,
of a new life, of a new YOU.

Failure is a gift. It is an opportunity 
to relearn, to change, to try something new,
something different.

Failure is a blessing. It is an opportunity 
to let go of what is not working for you.
It is an opportunity to challenge yourself.

When you fail, accept it. Do not fight it.
Learn from it. And keep going.
Because it is not the end of the world.
Because it is not the end of your life.
It is the beginning of a new life.
