Success, when it comes overnight, often departs with the dawn.
Failure is, in a sense, the highway to success, inasmuch as every discovery we make of what is false leads us to seek earnestly after what is true and every fresh experience points out some form of error which we shall afterward carefully avoid. The path walked, often with dampened tears, has not been a wasted journey.
FROM: THE GREATEST SALESMAN IN THE WORLD PART II The End Of The Story by Og Mandino
REFLECTION:
- What “failures” have you had that still haunt you?
- What is something that you previously viewed as a failure but now see as a necessary part of your journey?
- Is there some form of error you are currently experiencing that you can see differently? Write about it.
