Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed on an equal or greater benefit.

Failure or success
When doubt steps in, you got two roads, you can take either road. You can go to the left or you can go to the right and believe me, they’ll tell you failure is not an option. That is ridiculous.
Failure is always an option.
Failure is the most readily available option at all times, but it is a choice. You can choose to fail or you can choose to succeed.

Fail towards success
Failures, repeated failures, are finger posts on the road to achievement. One fails forward toward success.

Build on victories
Look for small victories and build on that. Each small victory, even if it is just getting up five minutes earlier, gives you confidence. You realize that these little victories make you feel great, and you keep going. You realize that being paralyzed by fear of failure is worse than failure.
Arnold Schwarzenegger
This is very important. Being paralyzed by fear is one of the worst situations you can possibly find yourself in.
You have to overcome this paralyzed state and start taking risks. In order to life and not just exist, you have to create motion, you have to become active. Make plans, follow through!

The road to success
There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work and learning from failure.

The dirty work
Show me a guy who’s afraid to look bad and I’ll show you a guy you can beat every time.
Lou Brock
Many things in life involve the risk of defeat, the risk of failure.
You have to take those risks, you have to agree to the chance of looking absolutely stupid. That’s the only way to actually achieve something. Don’t be too uptight.

A motivating pun
Success comes in cans, failure in cant’s.

Nature is against idleness
It is not necessary for a man to be actively bad in order to make a failure in life; simple inaction will accomplish it. Nature has everywhere written her protest against idleness; everything which ceases to struggle toward an ideal, the constant effort to get higher and further, which develops manhood and character.

Failure builds character
Achievements make proud, failure makes strong.
This is very important. While being successful is nice, it can also create the illusion of being unbeatable.
That’s why it is important to get a good beating once in a while. Not only does it form character, it is also a very potent teacher. Make good use of your failures and learn to worship them for their qualities.
Sometimes their is no obvious lesson in failure, but at least it will train your endurance. Being able to endure pain is a great quality, there is basically no failure that you can not make any use of!
