Who was he?

A simple uneducated country boy who refused to allow his uncongenial circumstances stop him. He refused to be a victim. He refused to accept failure. He refused to listen to people who told him he was crazy. He refused to stay down when he felt like nothing was going his way.

Simply put, he picked himself up no matter what and kept on going after his dream. He educated himself and did whatever it took to keep moving in direction of his passions.

Who was he? Abraham Lincoln.

If you reflect back on your life, I am sure that you can see a pattern of times you grew most. Many of those times are probably a result of some kind of previous 'failure.' Maybe even a series of them.

I would like to suggest that a child doesn't fail when they are learning to walk. They fall down over and over again. It is falling that teaches them and strengthens them.

Each time we fail is a learning experience, and faster we pick ourselves up, reflect on past occurrence and go on again, faster we can achieve our goals and dreams.

So with this in mind, choose one thing that may not be going exactly as you wish right now and do one thing to move you closer to achieving result you want!

And remember, life is about learning and growing.

Have fun and create a masterpiece!
