Win Some Loose Some

Success and Failure are Inseparable 
C.S Lewis wrote that, “Failures are finger posts on the road to achievement.”  A fingerpost is a post bearing one or more signs, often terminating in a pointing finger.  Our failures are finger posts.  They provide needed direction and increase our understanding or knowledge.  So failure really is a guide and a gateway to success.

As you move forwarding in pursuit of your prize, keep these five realities in mind:
  1. Failure increases empathy
  2. It is not about other people, you own it
  3. Heat assures the outcome
  4. Prepare for the recoil 
  5. Success and failure are inseparable

Remember the words of Robert F. Kennedy; “Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly.”
