I think sometimes you have to fall flat on your face before you can wake up and realize where you really truly need to go. Look for the silver lining. Make your disasters a beautiful disaster.

Many a man has finally succeeded only because he has failed after repeated efforts. If he had never met defeat he would never have known any great victory.

You cannot measure a man by his failures. You must know what use he makes of them. What did they mean to him. What did he get out of them.

The greatest thing a man can do in this world is to make the most possible out of the stuff that has been given him. This is success, and there is no other.

Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.

One of my favorite authors, Orison Swett Marden, once said: Our thoughts and imagination are the only real limits to our possibilities. If you won’t allow yourself to see great possibility in our world, then how will you ever find it? Open your eyes and be ready. It’s right before waiting on you to see it in a new light.

“Sometimes we stare so long at a door that is closing that we see too late the one that is open.” Alexander Bell

“The freedom to move forward to new opportunities and to produce results comes from living in the present not the past” -Brian Koslow

Here is some opportunity for you:

Confidence is the Napoleon in the mental army. It doubles and triples the power of all of the other faculties. The whole mental army waits until confidence leads the way. Even the horse cannot win the prize after it has once lost confidence in itself. Courage, born of self confidence, is the prod which brings out the last ounces of reserve force. The reason why so many men fail is because they do not commit themselves with a determination to win at any cost. They do not have that superb confidence in themselves which never looks back; which burns all the bridges behind it. There is just uncertainty enough as to whether they will succeed to take the edge off their effort, and it is just this little difference between doing pretty well and flinging all oneself, all his power, into his career that makes the difference between mediocrity and a grand achievement. -OSM

WOW. Something to think about.

“No man is beaten until his hope is annihilated, his confidence gone. As long as a man faces life hopefully, confidently, triumphantly, he is not a failure; he is not beaten until he turns his back on life.” — ORISON SWETT MARDEN
