The biggest successes come to those who are not afraid to fail. When you can accept and live with the possibility failure, then you're ready to go forward into the realm of success. Failure is failure only when you let it stop you. Yet when you fear failure, it will stop you even before you ever start. Instead, simply accept the possibility of failure and go on ahead anyway. You may well have some setbacks, but you'll also have the ability to deal with them as they come along. Each difficulty you encounter along the way will, after you get beyond it, eventually add value to whatever you're doing. Each so-called failure is only temporary when you are committed to reaching the goal. Any effort that produces real value will also have some risk. To arrive at the value you must live through the risk. Where there’s a possibility of failure, there is also the real opportunity for success. The more you can accept the possibility of failure, the more success you will achieve. The obstacles you encounter are not preventing you from reaching your dreams. They’re merely blocking one particular path that you mistakenly assume is the only way to reach those dreams. If you focus on the obstacles, then you give them more power. Instead, focus on your purpose, on your most authentic and fundamental intentions. Don't be stopped just because the road that everyone else uses has been closed. Find your own path, and if that path is blocked find another, and you will surely reach whatever destination you choose.
