No matter how hard you try...
No matter how careful you are...
No matter how good your plan is...
...and no matter how long you prepare...
Failure is inevitable.
It is for all of us.
So what?
Failure can't keep you from building the life you want.
Only you can.
Failure is actually an essential element to becoming truly great because your failures will give you some of the most valuable lessons along your journey.
But whether you choose to use these lessons or not will ultimately determine whether you win or lose in life.
You can extract the lessons...
Get back up...
Dust yourself off...
...and keep moving forward while avoiding the same mistakes in the future.
Or...
You can bitch...
Pout...
Quit...
...and end up with the same life as the rest of the "I got fucked" crowd.
Choose wisely.
How you react to failure will either be the reason you win...
...or the reason you don't.
