“Failure is only the opportunity to begin again more intelligently.” I’m not sure where I found this quote, but it said something to me. So many times I have failed and decided to try again without stopping to think about what went wrong. How can I possibly succeed if I don’t stop and evaluate what went awry.

Everybody fails. A failure is a guideline, a chance to start again with more wisdom and a better plan. When you face failure, remember that you have the resources within yourself to find the strength and wisdom to start again more intelligently. Strength is nurtured by faith and perseverance. When thankfulness is added you discover a purpose and desire to overcome and move forward.

Don’t give into defeat. Begin each day more intelligently.
