Never consider giving up on a worthwhile goal. The only way you will fail at achieving a goal is to quit. If you continue to hold your goal in mind and continue to work and evolve toward achievement of that goal, you will progress toward the ultimate achievement. A short-term failure or mistake is merely an educational lesson, and you will find that as you get more experienced and better at setting and achieving your goals, your educational lessons will become more and more expensive.
I remember the first time I lost $500 in an investment I was crushed! Then a couple years later, I learned a valuable lesson through making a $5,000 mistake. Years later, I again learned what NOT to do and lost $50,000 in one day! But each time I lost, I learned something that took me closer to more achievements and bigger numbers in income.
Making mistakes taught me how to identify red flags so I can hopefully prevent that mistake from happening again. Every time I recovered from the lesson learned, I more than made up for it on future efforts. I don’t fear making a mistake or losing because I compare it to the cost of a college education. I know the lessons I learn when I make a mistake will provide me strength and insight to achieve even greater successes. And creating and achieving more success will enable us to be a blessing to others!
Do well and be a blessing!
