If you’re having trouble reaching your goals, don’t give up on those goals. Make them even more ambitious and even more meaningful.
Yes, life can be filled with inconvenience, frustration, and disappointment. The people you deal with can be rude, incompetent, arrogant and downright abusive.
But you don’t have to let any of it get to you. Just as easily as you can choose to be angry, you can choose to be positive, productive, purposeful and enthusiastic.
When the negativity gets thick, respond with positive enthusiasm. For that is precisely when it can have the most powerful effect.
When being positive is not working out, double down on your positivity. Base your response not on how life has been, but on how you would like it to be.
Failure Does Not Mean I’m A Failure
Failure does not mean I’m a failure;
It does mean I have not yet succeeded.
Failure does not mean I have accomplished nothing;
It does mean I have learned something.
Failure does not mean I have been a fool;
It does mean I had enough faith to experiment.
Failure does not mean I have disgraced;
It does mean I have dared to try.
Failure does not mean I don’t have it;
It does mean I have something to do in a different way.
Failure does not mean I am inferior;
It does mean I am not perfect.
Failure does not mean I have wasted my life;
It does mean that I have an excuse to start over.
Failure does not mean that I should give up;
It does mean that I should try harder.
Failure does not mean that I will never make it;
It does mean that I need more practice.
Failure does not mean that You have abandoned me;
It does mean that You must have a better idea.
