Lesson 3: Your Failure is Your Success!

What if, starting today, the word 'no' didn't stop you anymore?
What if every time you heard the word no, you became stronger, more powerful?
What if the greatest success strategy in the world was not to go for yes, but to go for no?
Well, it is.

Most people operate with the following mental model:
SUCCESS ⇔ YOU ⇔ FAILURE
They see themselves in the middle, with success on one end and failure on the other. They do everything they can to move toward success and away from failure. But, what if you reconfigured that model?
YOU ⇒ FAILURE ⇒ SUCCESS

Failure should be viewed as a "stepping-stone" on the path to success.  Success is the destination. Failure is how you get there.To achieve success in anything that you do, failure is not just a possibility. It's a requirement. If it's true that the more we fail, the more we succeed (and it is), then your goal should be to intentionally increase your failure rate! With this thought in mind, you're succeeding even when you fail. If failure is a vehicle that can take you to success, then courage is the fuel! Courage is a muscle. And, like any muscle, you must develop and strengthen it with lots of exercise. As the saying goes: Use it, or lose it. It's no different with courage.  Each time you dare to fail in order to succeed, the courage muscle gets stronger.


I know this song is talking about love however if you just change love to to somehtng that you want to "succeed" in then this song goes great with what we are talking about. She talks about how she is indestructible and how she isn't going to be affraid to go for what she wants. we all need to have that attitude if we ever want to accomplish anything. The only way you will ever succeed in anything wether it is in a job, sports, love, or life in general you first must fail. Fail a hundred times. Fail a hundred thousand times. Because ultimately your failure is your success!!!!!!!
