The little things… day 18

FAILURE

If you’re doing your best, you’re not failing.  You only fail if you quit or don’t even try at all because you were too scared to fail. ~ Christine Sternfels

I’m grateful for…
Lessons learned from the many, many failures I’ve succeeded in attaining.  Strength gained from pain I had to endure from all my failures.  Love and support my family continued to give in times of my lowest low.  Some wisdom from having to experience one failure after another.  A chance at a fresh start.

I’m letting go of…
Thinking that finishing last is failing.  Giving too much thought to what people might think if I failed.  Success is too far away because I’ve failed too much.  Being discouraged to get up every time I fall.  Giving in to defeat just because I had a weak moment.

Failure is something that happens, not you.  So get up, brush it off and start all over again… now.

  2. What a great quote, Christine! We all fail at some of our ventures because the task of life is learning. As my mom always says, “Nothing ventured, nothing gained.”

    1. “The task of life is learning”… I love that. So much makes more sense with those six words. I think i just had an aha moment. Thank you Lorraine!

  3. “Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm!” Sir Winston Churchill

    “There are no failure as there are lessons to be learned.” BW Beacham

    Lovely post Christine!

    1. Love those quotes. Sometimes my enthusiasm is the first to go until I’m reminded of what I was aiming for and why. Thank you for sharing these quotes. Have a beautiful day Mz. Babs!
