My Own Worst Enemy

Aren't we all?

I read something lately that reminded me of how my stubborn nature can actually benefit me. Henry Ford once said, "Failure is merely an opportunity to more intelligently begin again."

Often the difference between a successful person and someone settling for mediocrity is that a successful person expects some level of failure and they don't stop there. Most people don't even give their dreams try #1. They quit before they begin due to self-doubt and limiting beliefs. Some face a single failure, fold, and go right back to what they were doing before. That's it! Persistence. I'm good at that, but not always in a good way.

Here's the deal, stop fearing failure. Get up and try again. Learn and redo from a more educated position. But the bottom line is don't give up.

How many failures are you willing to experience before achieving your dream?
