Do not allow yourself to be discouraged by failure – Failure Leads to Success!

It is good to regularly take stock of where you are in meeting your goals, which represent your idea of success. In doing so, you may look back over the last 5 years or so. You may inadvertently look at the length of time it has taken you to get to the point you are at, together with the resources of time, money, and energy which you have invested. You may feel disheartened, or even depressed, by a lack of more instantaneous progress.

If this describes you – remember the phrase “10 Year Overnight Success.”

There are countless stories of people whose apparent “overnight success” was founded on 10 years of extraordinary hard work.  Once at the top, the pass on these pearls of wisdom: “Failure Leads to Success.”

Here are some quotes, to inspire you when you need a boost:

“There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure.” – Colin Powell

“The greatest barrier to success is the fear of failure.” – Sven Goran Eriksson

“Failure is, in a sense, the highway to success, insasmuch as every discovery of what is false leads us to seek earnestly after what is true, and every fresh experience points out some form of error which we shall afterwards carefully avoid.” – John Keats
