Do your failures get you down or make you feel that long-term success is out of reach?  Consider what basketball legend Michael Jordan had to say about his own failures:

“I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.”

How’s that for perspective?  Let your failures propel you toward success by never becoming a reason to quit.
