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:
- Failure increases empathy
- It is not about other people, you own it
- Heat assures the outcome
- Prepare for the recoil
- Success and failure are inseparable
“Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly.” Robert F. Kennedy
