FAILURE

Failure is not falling down, it is the refusal to get back up.

Failure is often defined as a lack of success or the inability to meet an expectation, but I have come to see failure as perhaps the most important step on our individual paths toward future success. Failure is not falling down, it is the refusal to get back up.

Failure guides us forward. Failure is an opportunity to begin again. Failure encourages us to pick up the pieces and start all over again stronger and braver than before, but you must be willing to take it. Those that choose to repurpose the failures of their lives are actually setting themselves up for even bigger success, taking the hard earned lessons with them. Read more about failure here.
