What Does Failure Mean?
Are you being held back by your fear of failure? Or do you know anyone who is? If so, then perhaps it's time you redefine "Failure". If you look upon it in a different and positive light, you might actually learn to appreciate it.
Below are a dozen of remarkable definitions of failure I picked up from a book I read a couple of months ago, Success is Never Ending, Failure is Never Final, by Dr. Robert H. Schuller.
Here are the very inspiring definitions of failure by Dr. Schuller which I'd like to share with you:
Failure doesn't mean you were dumb to try; it means you had courage to explore and experiment to see what would work and what would not.
Failure doesn't mean you don't know how to make decisions; it just means you have to make another decision.
Failure doesn't mean you don't have it... It does mean you have to do something in a different way.
Failure doesn't mean you are inferior... It does mean you are not perfect.
Failure doesn't mean you've wasted your life... It does mean you have a reason to start afresh.
Failure doesn't mean you should give up... It does mean you must try harder.
Failure doesn't mean you'll never make it... It does mean it will take a little longer.
Failure doesn't mean you're finished... It does mean you have a chance to try something new.
Failure is never final!
Attitude is what makes the difference between those who succeed and those who fail. If you could live by Dr. Schuller's definitions of failure and take on a change of attitude toward failure, then it'd be safe to say you're well on your way to success.
