Failure
How Failure and success are one and the same or better, failure is fundamental in order to succeed
A Great Life = Risks
“I had nothing to lose and sometimes that makes you brave enough to try.”
Where Does Failure even come from?
To understand Failure is to get to know the history of failure
We've messed up in severe ways since the beginning of time. As far back as Greek plays, they have depicted Failure as a way to explain a message for people to remain kind and sympathetic in the face of failure.
*Remain resourceful and find gratitude and kindness when faced with failure.
Look at 300 the story of 300 Spartan warriors faced a Persian army of close to 2mm
This battle was never going to be won, it was a failure from the start but Sparta had other ideas towards the definition of failure and they redefined the battle a noble and moral cause.
Its when we start placing the power of terms of negative emotions like shame, regret, the past, Money, fortune, death
The world and success belongs to only those who FAIL
