Failure is Not an Option

We as a society are afraid to fail...why? There is no such thing as failure. Life is all about how you perceive events. If you look at something as a failure, then yes you have failed. When opportunities do not go your way, look at them as learning opportunities. My mentor in grad school, Dr. Jenelle N. Gilbert, was a huge believer of this process. She made me and others a strong believer as well. There is no mistakes, only learning opportunity. It is important to look at events that do not go your way as a way to learn and progress. Reflect on the situation and take the feedback to make yourself a better person. Again, don't dwell on the things you can not control...I understand this may be more tough for some then others...once you learn to really change your mind set; everything else seems to be a 'breeze.' Remember failing is not an option because you never fail...you learn...you grow...you become better.
