The road to success isn’t without bumps. There are many times where you will not be as successful as you would like. But it is a reason to give up? No. You must move forward with positive anticipation and believe in your end goal.
Many people once they fail move back into their comfort zones and get off the road. This is the wrong approach. You must persevere. The most successful people are the one with the most failures. This is true, however, they are wise, as they have LEARNED from their failures.
Learn from your failures, and don’t allow the fear of failure to draw you in and make you wither. You need to embrace failure, as it will show you which road NOT to go down. Just make sure not to recreate the same failure over and over again. Fail once, learn, and try a new approach. This is the ONLY way to true success.
You can’t win the race, if you stand behind the starting line. You all have greatness within you. So go fail your way to the top. YOU WILL WIN, IF YOU DON’T QUIT.
Much Love!

This is where the formal education system tends to fail. By placing so much focus on results, the students don’t learn how to fail.
One thing, though. I think there are certain points when you need to quit. If you don’t fully believe in what you’re doing, for example. Too many times people try to “persevere” just for the sake of it.
Yes, the road to success will have bumps, but before you push to overcome the bumps, you have to make sure you’re on the right road.
Amen brother. You must make sure you are on the right road… and keep at it until you win.
Thanks for the comment!
Travis,
Great advice.
I believe this is getting tougher and tougher in today’s world. Our popular culture and mainstream media keep telling us that success is as easy as plunking a credit card down and buying the solution. As a result, we tend to feel foolish and ashamed when we haven’t reached out and accepted this simple remedy.
The fact of the matter is that we must figure things out for ourselves, and making mistakes and failing are great ways to accomplish this.
Love the article - you really have to persevere if you want to make it anywhere in life.
Dealing with failure successfully (ironic wording, I know) really separates the winners from the losers, as those who can cultivate a success oriented mindset that treat failures as temporary obstacles are those that have what it takes to see their goals through to completion.
Keep up the great writing!
I think that there is no real failure unless you give up! Each mistake you makes gives you feedback which you can learn from to greatly improve your chances of success. So keep trying and don’t ever give up!
