You Only Fail if You Quit

Posted by Dave Lorenzo - Business Coach

This week we look at a quote from the Bible that articulates a belief that transcends religious, ethnic or gender differences.  

    “For a righteous man falls seven times, and rises again.” [Proverbs 24:16]

What this means to me:

If you really want something you can never give up.  You must persist until you achieve your goal. 

People fail for only two reasons:

  1. They don’t have a goal so they don’t know what success looks like.
  2. They give up. 

That’s it.  Those are the only two reasons for failure.

When you buy-in to this philosophy, you become a powerful person. 

Think about it.  If you believe in this way of thinking (and just about all successful people do) it is only a matter of time until you achieve ANY goal. 

Please reflect on this for a few days.  This one philosophy completely changed my life.
