There is no such thing as failure

There is no such thing as failure, only feedback. This is a much more powerful belief than acceptance of, and acquiescence to, failure. Maybe, sometimes things don’t end up the way we want them. It happens all the time in my life. The question is, “How do you respond?”

If you accept it as a ‘failure’ it is difficult to feel good. If you accept it as feedback only, then you can feel good about what you have learned than you adjust your approach and have another go at it. Even if you’re adjusted approach mean abandoning or “giving up”.

There is another quote you have probably heard, “You only fail when you give up.” I submit to you that there is a time to give up. Winston Churchill said, “This is the lesson: never give in, never give in, never, never, never, never—in nothing, great or small, large or petty—never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense.”

Keeping the faith,
