Forget about what you might have lost but instead focus on what you have room to gain.

If we never experienced the the valuable lessons from failure, then we would never truly appreciate the pure joy of our success.

Failure only happens when you lose your willpower to continue trying...If we let the obstacles get the best of us then it was our choice to fail, not fate.

Sometimes we are tested with a great idea or opportunity just to see if we will act upon it, however the timing may not be right. We are being prepared for something else down the road... When we understand that all things happen for our benefit and we trust in the Lord, then we can accept what we have termed as "failures" knowing that in the end it will all work out and we will be happy.

A closed door really is an open door in disguise.

Something important I have learned is patience, and turning each failure into a learning experience. ..Instead of calling them "failures" I call them "lessons". Instead of saying, "I failed at that," I say, "I learned from that." Each failure has taught me something incredibly valuable and by recognizing this I can see the hand of God in my life in situations where most people would feel abandoned by Him.

I would rather be known as someone who tried and failed, than someone who never tried at all.

If we fail to learn from our trials and errors then we truly fail.

As for your failures - stop calling them failures. Refer to them as "experiences". That's all they really are - just experiences.
