15 Powerful Quotes On Failure That’ll Motivate You To Keep Moving Forward

Powerful Quotes On Failure That'll Motivate You To Keep Moving Forward

When we think of failure we instantly think negative.

But that’s not the truth about failure, the media loves to portray individuals as instantly successful, that they’ve got the midas touch.

That they practised a couple of times and then quickly obtained success

They make it seem as if they're foreign to failure. 

Let's take a titan such as Bill Gates for example, you'll only ever hear the media discussing his net worth and the collection of cars and jets in his posession.

They won’t mention the 10 dark years, the decade of time he spent essentially off the grid, working and failing day in day out.

You must understand this and draw power from this.

The greats fail.

Often.

You just don't hear about it.

It's not sexy. It doesn't get blogs, media companies and the like views and clicks.

Now, instead of seeing this failure as a dead-end or allowing it to put you in a bad place you must opt to see failure as a report card.

Here’s where you’re coming up short, unless you want to see the same result again (which forms the definition of insanity) it’s time to improve, pivot and make the necessary adjustments.

I’m SJ. I’m a fitness enthusiast and published author. I transformed my body from a skinny fat 135lbs with 18% body fat to a solid 192lbs at 8% body fat. I became qualified in a field I was passionate about. I founded several online businesses that allow me to pursue ideas and projects in my life that I am passionate about without having to constantly worry about money. I published several eBooks explaining the training and dieting techniques I used to achieve the body I have today. I learnt a plethora of new information on dieting and fitness by reading and applying what I read, to find out what does work and what doesn’t work, because as I’m sure you’ve noticed the health and fitness industry is full of non-sense claims and BS. I found out what was true and what worked for me and applied that knowledge. And you bet I had fun during the whole process.
