— from Goals, Action & Defining Success (Goal/Action/Success/Motivation)
In the book
Because that is the real failure: people fail not when something stops them, but when they give up. What carries you past that point is tenacity — a braid of motivation, perseverance, resilience, and sheer will — and the plain refusal to treat failure as the end, because failure is simply part of the process of success, and the people who avoid all failure avoid success along with it. Run the long race as a marathon, not a sprint, and expect the falls. — Goals, Action & Defining Success (Goal/Action/Success/Motivation)
Begin with the reframe that changes everything. Failure is not the opposite of success; it is part of the process of success — and the people who arrange their lives to avoid all failure end up avoiding success right along with it. Every trial, then, is two things at once: a risk and an opportunity, and which one it becomes is decided largely by the choices you make in response to it. […] You will fail. Everyone who ever set a goal and acted on it has failed, and the avoiding of failure is just the avoiding of a real life. When it comes, do not waste your strength on blame, including blame of yourself — spend it all on your response, which is the only thing you ever truly hold. — Failure & Resilience (Challenge/Failure/Perseverance/Accountability/Flexibility/Resilience)
