Turn FAIL into FUEL
The way we view failure has a critical effect on how what we are able to achieve in the future. Some people refuse to use the word "failure" because they see events that some consider failure as simply a learning experience. And some see failure as the end and just give up or run away. But the perspective you have on "failure" will definitely color your ability to succeed.
I am not afraid to use the word "failure" because I define it in my mind differently. In the dictionary, "failure" is defined as "a lack of success". But I define "failure" as "another stepping stone on the road to success'. The road to success is paved with the stones of attempts that were learning experiences. These experiences (what some see as failures) build a pathway to walk on as you progress on your mission.
These experiences can also be viewed as FUEL. The FUEL that fills your engine and pushes you to continue on the road to success. Without the FUEL, we go nowhere. So the question is, "How do we turn FAIL into FUEL?" When we master this ability we can succeed in all that we endeavor.
