"My great concern is not whether you have failed,

but whether you are content with your failure."


~ Abraham Lincoln

 

Your action for today is to review a recent success

you've had and see if you owe some of that success

to a failure from your past.

Failures are Feedback in our "student of life" lives.

They are in fact the feedback that warns... this is not the way.

It doesn't mean you quit, it means try something different.

Don't quit; adjust.

This is like lean into the skid and somehow scoring a goal or something.

Interesting, fail forward. In my life starting with nothing, I have learned to run lean, stay focus, and be thankful for every blessing that comes your way.  Some times you will get knock down, you just have to shake it off and contiune.

As long as you get up, it is never failure, sometimes getting up may take a little longer, but to keep moving forward is important.

Hello Thomas - the "bounce back" is important.  How high is just one benefit.

Yes Steven Nickens the rule I was taught was when life knocks you down, fall forward. When you fail at an attempt, fail forward...that way your momentum is still towards accomplishing the goal. Thank You for your comment and for popping by my post

Very true Barbara Todaro we have to adapt and overcome. Standing around paralyzed by change won't get you to the future. Thank You for your comment and for popping by my post

Nick Vandekar, 610-203-4543 yes exactly the point of this post, thank you for saying that. Failing/falling isn't failure, unless you don't try again/try to get up. Thank You for your comment and for popping by my post

Michael Jacobs so true, one of my Buffini & Company trainings was called BOUNCE. It was all about how you handle failures and sudden change. Great observation my friend. Thank You for your comment and for popping by my post
