Every cloud has a silver lining. Think of any dark situation that you have endured in life, and you’ll find that there’s a hidden good behind every bad that happens. We may not like it, but failure sometimes is nothing more than a stepping stone to a path that leads to our dreams. “I have not failed. I have just found 10,000 ways that won’t work”. These were the famous words uttered by Thomas A Edison, when he finally made a light bulb, after “failing” to do so 10,000 times. Imagine 10,000 failures! Had he given up after five attempts or 10 or a 100 – we still may not have had the light bulb. So what you need to remember, what we all need to remember, is to stay positive even when faced with rejection or failure. Failing at something doesn’t mean that we cannot achieve success ahead. It means that more work needs to be done, more attempts need to be made. The only way to fail is to give up. You’ll often hear successful people say that it’s better than to have tried and failed than to have never tried at all. There’s no success without a list of failures behind it. When you try your hand at something for the first time, you’re not likely to succeed at it. Remember the first time you played ball? Or tried roller skating? Chances are that you sucked at it. Life’s like that, you fail only when you give up. Try, try again. And even then if you don’t make it, try some more! There’s simply no such thing as failure. Not achieving something means you learn, and then try it all over again till you finally do. I have not failed just fallen short a few times. Don't forget to love always, forgive quickly and smile along the way.
God Bless
