It Is Okay To Fail

According to Beverly Sills, “You may be disappointed if you fail, but you are doomed if you don’t try.” Yes, you are doomed if you don’t try. People don’t try because they are afraid of failure. They are afraid of other people’s opinions. They don’t want to fail. But if you have the courage to try, even if you fail, you are not a failure. You are a winner. Don’t be scared to try something new. Don’t be scared to get out of your comfort zone. Remember, no matter what it is, if you don’t try, you will never win. So if you want to win, if you want to join the top ten, you must try. You must cultivate the courage to try.

Albert Einstein said, “Failure is success in progress.” It is okay to fail. Just be patient with yourself. As Adel Bestavros once said, “… patience with self is hope…” The purpose of your life is to fail your way to success.

When you fail, be patient with yourself. Because life is a battle ground. You are here to strengthen your muscles. Rainer Maria Rilke said, “The purpose of life is to be defeated by greater and greater things.” If you want to win in your life, make failure your best friend, not your enemy.

That disadvantage sometimes pushes you

That disadvantage sometimes pushes you, you know, if you use it right, because you want to rid yourself of those things that hurt you emotionally when you’re coming up.”

Use your disadvantage right. Don’t regret your life. Instead of beating yourself up, use your disadvantage to get yourself to the next bus stop. You can get there.

The freedom to expand

“I suffered evils, but without allowing them to rob me of the freedom to expand.”

You need the freedom to expand. You need the freedom to grow. You need the freedom to live your true life. And you need the freedom to just be yourself. No matter what you are going through right now, do not give up. Your best life is ahead of you. Keep going.
