Failure can only exist from stagnant perceptions. Everything is a process of learning and if you learn something useful, you have success.
Never neglect an opportunity for improvement.

We have the freedom to excel or inhibit our potential. You are the grand designer of your thoughts and emotions. At some level or another you are the one who chooses which thoughts to accept and which ones to ignore. That can be a very empower realization.
Life is about becoming a better version of yourself.
First you fuel the desire, then the desire will fuel you.
