Failure Should be our Teacher, Not our Undertaker
It is a temporary detour, not a dead end. Failure is something we can avoid only by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing.
Failure is not the opposite of winning; it is part of the learning process.
You’ve probably experienced that moment of gratitude for an event in your life that you originally perceived as negative — failing that exam, losing your job, ending a long-term relationship. And when you’re able to appreciate and own your failures, you’re able to learn and grow from them.
That’s when the magic happens. Because no longer will you fear your failures; you’ll be able to use them as stones and guides that pave your way to success.
Many quotes by Denis Waitley have to do with being dealing with failure and putting yourself in a winner’s mindset; there is great reason for this.
