Failure

Failures are in the positions they are in today because they are yet to follow the footprints of those who walk, think, and breathe success.

Dare to succeed. You were born to win.

It's a new day. Yesterday's failure is redeemed at the sunrise

Defeat in doing right is nevertheless victory.

- Frederick W. Robertson

No one escapes suffering. Everyone goes through tough times. Suffering is a part of our human condition and cannot be avoided. Setbacks, failures, pain, suffering, and hardships are all a part of life, but whether we are able to find peace within the storm depends on our resilience and perseverance. Whenever one of our children tells us that they don’t want to fail at something, we remind them that there will be times in their life when they will fail, but it’s how they come through it that matters. If we choose to focus on the negative, the failure itself, the darkness will oppress and consume us. Eventually it will destroy a person. We need to embrace the fact that we’re human and our lives will be filled with suffering and hardship, but we have the ultimate hope and victory in Our Lord.

When you take risks you learn that there will be times when you succeed and there will be times when you fail, and both are equally important.

- Ellen DeGeneres, Seriously... I'm Kidding

It ain't no disgrace for a man to fall but to lie there and grunt is.

Commit to the lifestyle of investing in you first. It always produces the best return.

- Mensah Oteh, Unlocking Life's Treasure Chest: Wisdom keys to keep you inspired, encouraged, motivated and focused

The word failure is imperfect. Once we begin to transform it, it ceases to be that any longer. The term is always slipping off the edges of our vision, not simply because it's hard to see without wincing, but because once we are ready to talk about it, we often call the event something else--a learning experience, a trial, a reinvention--no longer the static concept of failure.

- Sarah Lewis, The Cross and the Crescent

Anyone can fail at something they really don’t want. What really takes courage is going after something you want and then failing. There is more fulfillment in life knowing that you tried, rather than settled without a fight.
