"Don't worry about failure; you only have to be right once" - Drew Houston
Failure.
It is not something to be feared.
It is not something which should dampen your spirits.
It is not something which should discourage you.
It is not something which should make you feel down.
It is not something which defines your worth.
It is not something which defines your capability.
It is simply part of the journey.
A minor bump in the road.
A small sign telling you how to avoid the next bump you encounter along the way.
Take stock of this sign.
This blessing.
This learning experience.
This growth opportunity.
Take it and continue on your path.
There is no doubt that you will reach your destination.
It is not a question of 'if', but a question of 'when'.

Strive to live, live to strive.
