Success Isn't Permanent and
Failure Isn't Fatal

So many times, people have this idea about great success. We have heard:

"You only get one shot!"
"Once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

We watch movies and see people "making it" and becoming huge successes. We believe that somehow, they have a magic touch, a gift, that we don't have and never will.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

Expand your mind about success. Instead of one big success, why not celebrate all the little successes along the way? Why not cheer for the small wins that add up to a great victory?

We also think success has us set for life. Again, not true.

We have to work to maintain our success. Success is also about growing and developing.

People have the same misconceptions about failure - one fail and you are done, for life.

Failures are a dime a dozen, keep going, because the lessons that failure teaches are pure gold. To succeed often, you have to fail many times along the way.
