Keep moving forward

Develop success from failures. Discouragement and failure are two of the surest stepping stones to success. – Dale Carnegie

I don’t like failing. If I am honest, I hate it. You start with grand plans and then you fall on your face. Or, you knew something was going to be a certain way, but it didn’t materialize. Have you been there too?

It is easy to see failure as finality. Like if we fail we will be stuck there permanently. It Amy even keep us from wanting to try. I am reminded of this quote:

Remember that failure is an event, not a person. Yesterday ended last night, and today is a brand-new day. – Zig Ziglar

This quote reminds us that failure is something that happens to us, but it doesn’t define who we are as people. We learn from it. We keep moving forward.

I will leave you with a quote from Dennis Whitley:

Failure should be our teacher, not our undertaker. Failure is delay, not defeat. It is a temporary detour, not a dead end. Failure is something we can avoid only by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing.

Keep moving toward your goal. I am going to do the same.
