Hi I'm Jody from Writerslife.org and today we'll be talking about my failing can lead to success most people are free to failure when they shouldn't be people let failure dictate how they live and by doing that they never reach their full potential in fact failing often leads to success I understand failing can be scary you're normal to think you shouldn't want to fail however those who are successful are failing every day that's one of their secrets to success when you go through school you're told failing can be bad and become discouraged from it you take on this notion that failure is bad or you'll be looked down upon if you fail when most people don't realize is that failure will get you one step closer to success while also allowing you to become resilient if you're not failing you will never get ahead I want you to understand the person who feels the most and doesn't give up will be successful how because if you continue to put in the work no matter what happens eventually you will achieve success no one likes to fail and if you get back up after each failure it will pay in dividends if you're not feeling how will you ever know how far you can actually go each of us has so much potential that never gets realized you can achieve your wildest dreams if you just allow yourself to fail when you achieve your desired success how much sweeter is it going to be and if it were handed to you by failing your achievement will feel that much better think of anyone who has become successful whether that's Steve Jobs or Thomas Edison they both failed and they were never perfect but they let their failures take them to their greatest achievements if they gave up at the first sight of failure we would have never known their names when you start on the path of failure just realize that you're one step closer to success and don't forget if you're having a hard time writing or finishing your book check out our free writers tool kit it can help you overcome procrastination get organized stay focused and get your book published just head to http://www.writerslife.org/toolkit to download your FREE copy if you enjoyed this video don't forget to give it a thumbs up turn on your notifications and subscribe down below and be sure to visit WritersLife.org for more running tips and tricks mass unisonIf you like this episode you’ll love
