Failure

I am probably the best one to give advice on failure. I have failed so many times in so many ways at so many things. Failure is something I am proud of! I am proud that I take risks and try. I am proud that even if it doesn't work out the way I intend or plan, I am able to get up and try again...take another risk and quite possibly, fail again. Do you realize that Thomas Edison FAILED more than 1000 times before he succeeded at the invention of a light bulb and his teachers said he was "too stupid to learn anything." Michael Jordan was actually cut from his high school basketball team! Babe Ruth struck out 1.330 times! Walt Disney was fired as a newspaper editor because he "lacked imagination and had no good ideas." Beethoven was told by his music teacher that he was "hopeless as a composer". 27 publishers rejected Dr. Seuss' first book. and the list goes on and on...

Will you give up on your dream? Have you decided that you just can't fail anymore? Do you see your failure as a negative? Failing is something to be proud of. If you don't fail, you don't grow and if you don't grow you stay the same. Often the question is asked, "What would you do if you knew you could not fail?" I say...look for the places to fail so that one day you wake up and experience success.

Your dream is right on the other side of the mud puddles!!!!
