You Decide.

Hey Warrior...You decide what failure does to you.

Obstacles, challenges, setbacks, and failure…these are all a part of life. There’s not much we can do to prevent them. At times we can prepare for them, but even the greatest preparedness doesn’t stop them from wrecking shop in our lives. The one thing that is 100% in our control, is how we respond to them.

You see, you and me both get to decide what they do to us. To think any other way means that we are giving away our power and control…and in this fight, those are two things we simply can not sacrifice. When facing failure, the key is to learn from it. To develop and grow from it. You’ve heard it said. “failure can make us bitter, or it can make us better.” While that may be cliche, it’s very true. Ultimately, you get to decide. So the next time you face failure, decide to get better. Decide to learn from it, grow from it, then…let it go.

ACTION STEPS

1. Define a failure or setback that you are struggling with overcoming.
2. Write out two or three things that you can learn from that failure/setback.
