Failure… Does not mean you are a failure. It means you have not yet succeeded.
Failure does not mean you have accomplished nothing. It means you have learned something.
Failure does not mean you will never be able to do it. It means you have to do it in a different way.
Failure does not mean you are inferior. It means you are not perfect.
Failure does not mean you have wasted your life. It means you have to start afresh.
Failure does not mean you should give up. It means you should try harder.
Failure does not mean you will never achieve. It means it takes a little longer.
Failure does not mean God has abandoned you. It means God has a better idea! You will get the idea if you have faith in Him.
