It amazes me how many adults truly believe that failure comes so easily in life.

Failure is not defeat… Failure is giving up before a battle begins. Failure is not trying and then not succeeding…failure is not trying at all.

As children we may have felt like “failures” at one point or another — but who was it that led us to believe this statement?

It’s just a part of growing up, I suppose. Success comes much easier than Failure, as long as you take that risk. I believe I’m very successful in life in many, many avenues because of the risks I’ve taken over the years.

Most of my life I had so many people who had told me that I “couldn’t” rather than telling me I “shouldn’t”… as a child you can grow into fear quickly by mistaking those two words. Most of use live in fear because of those words. “Cannot” (can’t) or “Should not” (shouldn’t) are two extremely separate words in the American Dictionary and I believe that we need to correct our own mistakes before we teach these words to our own children.

Brainwashing a young mind can corrupt that child’s future…remember that.
