‘Many of our failures sweep us to greater heights of success, than we ever hoped for in our wildest dreams. Life is a successive unfolding of success from failure.’– William George Jordan, The Secrets of Success
To win in life, you must embrace failure. To succeed, to get better at what you are doing, you must make failure your best friend.
You see what is already within you. You don’t see what you do not want to see. If you want to turn failure around, if you want to get better, according to Tom Oliver, ‘Your viewpoint changes everything. Most apparent tragedies are actually blessings in disguise, gift packages that you have to unwrap.’
When you fail at something, it means you are really working hard to know more, to challenge yourself, to get better. But if you are not failing, if you are not falling, it means you are not doing enough to change your life.
Don’t see failure as a crime. It is not. It is a blessing in disguise. If you can focus on learning from your failure, nothing can stop you from achieving your dreams.
‘Every seeming tragedy or failure will contain in it the seeds of a great victory and success.’ When you fail at something, don’t blame yourself. Believe in yourself. Believe that you can do it again. And go to work.
‘If you focus obsessively on opportunities, you can turn any seeming failure around.’ If you want success in your life, focus matters. Failure is not a crime. Not learning from failure is.
