Failure, circumstances and people might try to
put you down, but they should never be able to count you out. Your condition
today is not your conclusion. Never give up or give in to failure because
Success is never ending, failure is never final.
It is true that we sometimes
fail or commit errors in order to succeed so that we know what not to do the
next time. But to succeed, don’t make any experience of failure your
conclusion, don't settle for it. When you fail, learn from it and get back on
track. People who are afraid to fail can never experience the joys of success.
Not many people are willing to give failure a second opportunity. They fail
once and it is all over. The bitter pill of failure is often more than most
people can handle. If you are willing to accept failure (not considering it as
your conclusion) and learn from it; if you are willing to consider failure as a
blessing in disguise and bounce back, then you have got the essential capacity
of harnessing one of the most powerful forces of success in the world.

Most times enduring success
builds on the foundation of our personal failures in the past or the failures
of others. What we learn from our experiences of failure are essential elements
to getting the keys to true and enduring success.
Success is not staying down
when you are hit hardest; it is rise up above every limitation. Success is how
high you bounce to your feet and continue running after you hit bottom.
In the school of success,
the fact still remains that there are no secrets to success. It is the result
of preparation, hard work, and learning again and again from failure and trying
again until you succeed. There is no dictionary in the world that tells us that
the meaning of failure is "to give up after having tried and failed".
Success is achieved by those who try and keep trying with a positive mental
attitude. We do our best that we know how at the moment, and if it doesn't turn
out, we modify it and try again - that is how true and enduring success is
achieved.
The fact about life is that
failure is temporal and will soon expire if you don't feed it with complacency
and timidity. Failure can't beat the person who never gives up. When you miss a
shot, never think of what you did wrong and conclude that it is your final
outcome. Take the next shot thinking of what you must do right. The winners and
successful in life think constantly in terms of I can, I will, and I am.
Losers, on the other hand, concentrate their waking thoughts on what they
should have or would have done, or what they can't do and they allow such
thoughts to cripple their will and capacity to try again and succeed.
One of the characteristics
of failure is that it is always in the past. No matter when a man fails, his
failure is always some seconds or minutes, or days, or weeks, or months, or
years old. Behind every successful man there are many unsuccessful years,
months, weeks, days, hours, minutes and seconds. Great men always relate to
failure as past tense. This is how we are to relate to failure - Past tense.
But the problem is that many who have failed in a venture refuse to come out of
the past and live for now and tomorrow.
The lesson here is to dwell
not on past failures. We are to use it to learn what went wrong and how to
correct it, then leave it behind and move on by applying the lessons we have
learnt. Nothing really matters except what you do now in this instant of time
to move forward. It is wise to keep in mind that failure is never final.
Losers visualize the
penalties of failure. Winners visualize the rewards of success. Visualize
success even though you are in the pit of problems. The pictures you see will
one day be the divine hand that will lift you out of the pit. Picture yourself
vividly as winning everyday and that alone will contribute immeasurably to your
success. Even though you fall rise again because the greatest glory in living
lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall. A problem is a
chance for you to do your best. So make every failure an opportunity to recover
and be the best you can be.
Always say to yourself daily: "Failure is not
my conclusion"
