LIFE THROUGH THE BACK WINDOW
Learn from Failure and Find Things to Improve.
If success is a marker on your journey, failure is the map.
When we fail, we discover something important about ourselves. We discover how to persevere, how
to get better, and what does NOT work. We discover which paths to avoid and it fine tunes our
approach.
Revel in failure and learn from it at every step. The most successful entrepreneurs in history are
remembered for their triumphs but will tell you only of their failures and how they learned from them.
Recognize the potential in those moments and use them to propel yourself forward.
Every path is different and those who enjoy and learn from the steps in their personal path to success
will thrive.
Be the one who finds joy in even the hardest moments and you will never dread what comes next on
the arduous journey you’ve set yourself on.
Change is the only constant, except from a Vending Machine. Failure can also be considered part of
life. Our whole being our mere existence on earth is about failure, struggle and how to overcome.
It is scientifically proven that a child that was born naturally has more perseverance than children that
was born through a C-section.
I am not saying you must blame your parents if you are struggling, but it might put some context to
your way of making decision.
I would like to refer to Theodore Roosevelt when it comes to hardship and struggles. Pres. Roosevelt
once said:
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the
doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the
arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes
short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does
actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends
himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who
at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those
cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
Therefore my fellow traveller reading this article now, I cannot explain your hardship, nor can promise
you that it will magically disappear. I can and I must encourage you, take hart, look up and face your
situation and face it head on. It is not by chance that they say fortune favours the brave.
