Why Accepting You Might Fail is a Step to Success



“You must accept that you might fail; then, if you do your best and still don’t win, at least you can be satisfied that you’ve tried. If you don’t accept failure as a possibility, you don’t set high goals, you don’t branch out, you don’t try – you don’t take the risk.”

— Rosalynn Carter: Former First Lady and author

  1. This sounds great in theory and we all hear it but until we actually find something we are passionate about then we won’t understand it.

    Its like this, you find something you really want to get good at, and you constantly want to improve and grow.
    At this point, you don’t care what people think of you because they are struggling while you are enjoying yourself.

  2. @tom : Hey bro! It’s been a long time since I last heard from you and I love where your blog is going! =)

    Check out Tom’s blog everyone!

    Anyways, you might be right.

    But here’s my take on it, Tom.

    In my experience, it takes a looooong time for some people to know what their passion is.

    And when they find something, they doubt that it’s THE PASSION… that it’s THE ONE.

    So, what I say to these people is to just find something that you like, it doesn’t have to be THE ONE, just go ahead with it and try it!

    And that’s where this quote comes in. =)

  3. Saiful, its good to be back. I been just exploring and finding my spot.

    You are right, sometimes there is like a smoke screen in front of us that makes us doubt if its the real thing.

    Of course, go ahead and try it out, but the other thing to consider is do it sooner then later because the older you get, the less chances and risk you can afford to take.

  4. What I found aswell is that once you accept failure, it leave more room to focus on success.

    It leaves more opportunity for you to give it your bestest effort.

    Only focus on failure when you fail, but if your up and running, continue to put your focus on becoming a better runner.
