Monday inspiration- Do not be afraid to fail
I know what's going through your mind as you are reading this post. Why would he say I shouldn't be afraid of failure? Does he know what it means to fail?? I still say to you do not be afraid to fail.
The fear to fail is worse than failure itself. So many people are really scared of failing, what would people say if I fail??? But I say to you again don't be afraid to fail.
People have huge dreams but some of which would not be implemented because of the fear of failure. Are you a worker with that perfect business idea but haven't started because you don't want to fail?? I say to you today rise and never be afraid of failing.
Are you a student in anticipation of an examination which would change your life for ever but afraid that you could fail and become a disappointment? Do not be scared
The phobia of failure should never stop you. Great men in our world today actually tried and failed in their life time. The likes of Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Edison, Nigerian Nobel prize winner Professor Wole Soyinka to mention but a few failed in their journey to the top.
Abraham Lincoln failed US presidential election but never gave up, Thomas Edison after continuous failure came up with the electric bulb when asked this is what he said and I quote
"I have not failed, I've just found 10,000 ways that wouldn't work"
So my dear what is that situation worse than this
Failure happens to strengthen you. It is not enough that you have tried and failed but never,never,never give up.when you fail rise and keep trying do not stop.
Before that enormous goal you have in mind can be achieved you have to fall so as to rise up on your feet and continue. One only becomes a failure when one gives up. The fact you failed doesn't makes you a failure NEVER!! It is only but a postponed success.
So I say to you today Do not be afraid to fail. I leave with these powerful quotes concerning failure
“Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever
achieve greatly.” - Robert F. Kennedy
“The phoenix must burn to emerge.” - Janet
Fitch
“If you’re not prepared to be wrong, you’ll
never come up with anything original.” - Ken
Robinson
“Giving up is the only sure way to fail.” -
Gena Showalter
“If you don’t try at anything, you can’t fail… it
takes back bone to lead the life you want” -
Richard Yates
“Failure should be our teacher, not our
undertaker. Failure is delay, not defeat. It is a
temporary detour, not a dead end. Failure is
something we can avoid only by saying nothing,
doing nothing, and being nothing.” - Denis
Waitley
“When you take risks you learn that there
will be times when you succeed and there will
be times when you fail, and both are equally
important.” - Ellen DeGeneres
“It’s failure that gives you the proper
perspective on success.” - Ellen DeGeneres
“There is no failure except in no longer
trying.” - Chris Bradford
“I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000
ways that won’t work.” - Thomas A. Edison
“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is
the courage to continue that counts.” - Winston
Churchill
“There is only one thing that makes a
dream impossible to achieve: the fear of
failure.” - Paulo Coelho
“Pain is temporary. Quitting lasts forever.” -
Lance Armstrong
“Success is stumbling from failure to failure
with no loss of enthusiasm.” - Winston Churchill
“I’d rather be partly great than entirely
useless.” - Neal Shusterman
“We are all failures – at least the best of us
are.” - J.M. Barrie
“The only real mistake is the one from which
we learn nothing.” - Henry Ford
“Failures are finger posts on the road to
achievement.” - C.S. Lewis
“Winners are not afraid of losing. But losers
are. Failure is part of the process of success.
People who avoid failure also avoid success.” -
Robert T. Kiyosaki
“Every adversity, every failure, every
heartache carries with it the seed of an equal or
greater benefit.” - Napoleon Hill
“You build on failure. You use it as a
stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You
don’t try to forget the mistakes, but you don’t
dwell on it. You don’t let it have any of your
energy, or any of your time, or any of your
space.” - Johnny Cash
“It’s not how far you fall, but how high you
bounce that counts.” - Zig Ziglar
“Failure is so important. We speak about
success all the time. It is the ability to resist
failure or use failure that often leads to greater
success. I’ve met people who don’t want to try
for fear of failing.” - J.K. Rowling
“No human ever became interesting by not
failing. The more you fail and recover and
improve, the better you are as a person. Ever
meet someone who’s always had everything
work out for them with zero struggle? They
usually have the depth of a puddle. Or they
don’t exist.” - Chris Hardwick
“When we give ourselves permission to fail,
we, at the same time, give ourselves permission
to excel.” - Eloise Ristad
“With a hint of good judgment, to fear
nothing, not failure or suffering or even death,
indicates that you value life the most. You live
to the extreme; you push limits; you spend your
time building legacies. Those do not die.” -
Criss Jami
“What is the point of being alive if you don’t
at least try to do something remarkable?” –
John Green
