Yesterday, I talked about failure. But I am not the only one who has discussed failure, in fact, I believe that every author has probably mentioned something to that nature at least once in their lives. One such author is Denis Waitley.
Denis Waitley is an American motivational speaker who wrote the Bestseller The Psychology of Winning and he is also responsible for the following quote:
“Failure should be our teacher, not our undertaker. Failure is delay, not defeat. It is a temporary detour, not a dead end. Failure is something we can avoid only by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing.” – Denis Waitley
So again, I encourage you to accept the possibility and reality of failure in your own lives and careers but to never let it stop you!

Easier said than done, but definitely the best way is to not take it personally, but instead learn from it and try again…

If we always succeeded the first time we tried something, we’d never learn. At least, I know I learned a lot from abandoning so many WIPs and failing to finish my drafts! 😂
