At some point in time every one fails in one thing or the other that they strive to achieve. It only becomes failure when we refuse to rise up from the debunked attend and forge ahead.
The worst disservice that you can do to yourself, is to muck about and wallow in that sense of defeat hanging like the Sword of Damocles over your head.
It will take you to the cleaners, squeeze you for all it’s worth, leave you dirty, down and out.
I tried to say the quote in a humourous way, but I am sure you get the message. If you give him an inch, he will take a whole yard.
Get up, dust off yourself and crawl along.

So true. Defeat should never be an option, but if it happens we don’t have to feel defeated, we just have to keep going.

Awesome advice! Mistakes and failures are inevitable; it’s the recovery that matters. There is both a lesson and a blessing in all challenges 🙂

I think it’s safe to say that nothing would be accomplished without looking defeat square in the face.

So true. Failure is not falling down. Failure is refusing to get up again to start over.

That quote reminded me of this one “give the devil an inch and he’ll try to be your ruler”
