Failing means you were brave enough to try. And if you tried it once, you can try again.

Obviously it’s frustrating when you don’t get what you want and it gives you a feeling that you’re not good enough. It sucks when you wonder if you could have done better. But your failures are not proof that you should give up, go home, and never try again. Your failures are proof that you were bold enough to try, even if there was a chance of failure.

Most people choose not to take unnecessary risks. They try their best to stay in the safest place as long as possible in order to stay in their comfort zone and protect their hearts, bank account and dignity.

So if you’ve been worried about something enough to get out of your comfort zone, you should be proud. You are very brave!

It’s never been easy to take risks—let alone recover after a failure. But you have to remember that a misstep is not the end of the line. Your failures don’t have to be excuses to give up. They can be an incentive to keep going, try again, learn from your mistakes and see where you went wrong to choose a different alternative next time.

You need to stop thinking about your failures as negative. You see, I’m not telling you to pretend to be excited about your failure, because disappointment is a natural response, but you shouldn’t assume that failure is the worst thing that can happen to you.

Failure means you believed in yourself enough to take a risk. Failing means you’ve learned a little more about what works and what doesn’t. Failing means you were brave enough to try. And if you tried it once, you can try again. Next time, you’ll be better prepared. You will have more knowledge. You will have a better understanding of the situation.

HEY!!! READ THIS CAREFULLY: Stop being ashamed of your failures. Instead of treating them as mistakes you’ve made, you should treat them as stepping stones to success.

YOU ARE NOT ALONE! A reminder that God is with you

When you start to see your failures from this perspective, you will have a better chance of succeeding in your next attempt at something. If you want to get to a place where you can consider yourself successful, you have to try. Try. And try again.

Talent means nothing without persistence. If you give up now, you will never see what you are capable of achieving. You’ll never know if you could have done something without first… try.

It is very dangerous to continue acting as your biggest critic. If you want to succeed, you need to have faith in yourself, even when you have doubts, even when you feel lost and alone, even when you have no idea what you are doing.

You need to trust yourself. You need to give yourself more credit. You need to convince yourself that if you keep pushing yourself to the limit, if you continue with enthusiasm and focus on what’s important to you, soon your failures will turn into successes.
