FAIL is a four-letter word many of us stay as far away from as we can.
None of us like to consider ourselves failures…we have come to believe that failing is something bad, something we should dread and avoid at all costs.
Maybe we’ve gotten our belief all wrong.
“Failure” is merely an attempt to do something that doesn’t work out the way we had wanted it to. Failure is for the courageous -- it is taking a risk, giving an idea a try.
Failure means we have boldly put ourselves to a test.
Failure is good. Failure is just another step of growth on the path of success.
Why aren’t you taking steps on your personal dreams for success?
Do you hesitate to act for fear of failing?
If so, consider the wise words of Barack Obama, “Making your mark on the world is hard. If it were easy, everybody would do it. But it’s not. It takes patience, it takes commitment, and it comes with plenty of failure along the way. The real test is not whether you avoid this failure, because you won’t. It’s whether you let it harden or shame you into action, or whether you learn from it, whether you choose to persevere.”
The only true failure is not trying, not acting when you know what can be done…the only real failure is withholding your unique talents, perspectives and action.
Please, my brothers and sisters--step forward and TRY! Just do your best in improving your life, your community and your nation. We need you to learn and grow. Growth comes from trying.
Trying hard and failing often…but always learning, growing and giving my best,
