They will happen to us and around us. Some good. Some bad. However, there is one thing that will always be in our control – unless we choose to hand over that power – and that is, how we react. Life is not fair or unfair my friends; life just is. Johnny In this life there are many things (most things, in fact) which will happen despite you and I. They will happen to us and around us.

This is a mental process for other future success. We learn so much with the model of failing forward. This is a great post describing why we should continue to push along in any of our endeavors.

We can choose to learn from what didn't work out as we had imagined and re-engineer a new plan that may lead to success. If you quit short of the goal line all you get is dirt in the face, skinned knees, and defeat. If you choose to push on and try again you may just reach to goal line and you get success, glory, and something to be proud of. Choose to go for it. Choose to fail forward.
