You Only Fail When…

You only fail when you stop trying,
When you give up, when you stop learning,
When you stop asking the right questions,
When you beat yourself up, 
When you give in to procrastination.

You only fail when you don't even try,
When you try to control everything,
When you don't accept yourself,
When you are not comfortable with yourself.

You only fail when you give in to negative thoughts,
When you don't find a way to be yourself,
When you do not focus on expressing yourself,
When you don't love the person you see in the mirror
Every morning, every day. 

When you fail, focus on yourself.
Because you need you, the real you, 
To move your life forward. 

Failure Comes From…

Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently.”- Henry Ford

Failure comes from pride, from arrogance.

Failure comes from ego, negative ego.

But success, on the other hand, comes from hard work,

from love, from empathy, from humility, from care, and from focus.

If you want to succeed in your own life,

you must reject pride. It is not good for you. It is a career killer.
