How many times have you wanted to give up when failure knocked on your door?
How many times have you convinced yourself that your goals are out of reach?
But hold on, what if that goal was just 1 step away?
If you just need this last push through the obstacle and then you score?
Failure is not the end.
Failure means you’re getting closer.
It means you’re progressing.
You’re learning what’s working and what isn’t.
Failure is where you get tested.
How willing you really are to achieve that goal.
How much you’ll sacrifice to achieve it.
When failure hits most people, they give up.
It’s uncomfortable.
It just proved all those negative thoughts to be right.
They feel worthless.
But nothing makes them grow more than rising back up and pushing even harder.
So, how can you stay committed and disciplined to do what’s needed even when you don’t really feel like it and the goal seems impossible, but still know you probably should because you want the end result?
The problem is how we see failure.
We treat it as the end and move on.
Edison himself reportedly failed more than a thousand times before his lightbulb was successful.
The world would literally be a darker place if he had stopped at attempt #999…
But he kept going, and we now take his invention for granted.
Start viewing every failure as a step forward, a clue.
By letting failure show you what isn’t working, it’ll also point you to what works.
The moment you’re ready to give up, remember that you could be just 1 step away from changing everything.
Achieving a goal comes to those who push and try one more time.
When failure is knocking on your door next time and wants you to quit, you know you’re getting closer.
It’s only after the finish line you’ll truly realize how close you were all along…
