Three failure quotes

By Becky McCray

Newly emerged locustbarbaraling
What the caterpillar sees as failure, the butterfly sees as the beginning of life. :)
I never view failure as something negative – I look at it as a way to open creativity.

Failure isn’t about “not winning” it’s about heart wrenching actions leading to fundemental change.

failure is the pain that fuels learning.

    As human beings, we are by the far the most intelligent living spirit. We can choose to be anything, do anything, and accomplish anything, through the Heart and Mind of our own Thinking and Believing.

    Sometimes failure just sucks, sometimes there is nothing to learn

    There may not always be a lesson. But there is always a chance to look for one.

    I used to view failure as a bad thing; something to be feared. Anymore, I’ve come to appreciate the value in risk taking~ stepping out beyond our comfort level in the name of improvement. While failure is never easy lessons learned makes it palatable.
