Failure does not define you

Failure does not define you

Have you seen anyone who has not failed once? If you have seen, it will probably be the person who has not tried anything once. Failure is a part of success and indeed, if there is no failure, there’s no bank of experiences. Your experiences are the wealth of knowledge you have that will take you towards success. One is a failure if one believes he or she is.

I might be qualified as a failure for having been on a journey to share this space with you. Those failures have secured my wealth of experience and knowledge but do I have to cast in stone never to fail again? Failure builds you up but with a determined mind, you can always rise up and dust off and get ready to fail again and to succeed.

Failure does not define you if you refuse to let it define you. Be conscious, intentional, focused and determined, you will always be where you are supposed to be while standing tall.

Edgar Guest once said that, “success is failure turned inside out. The silver tint of the clouds of doubt, you can never tell how close you are, it may be near when it seems so far, so stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit. It’s when things seem worse that you must not quit”.

Never ever quit. Continue. Keep going. Meet success.
