Failure is
something
we can avoid
only by
saying
nothing,
doing
nothing,
and
being
nothing.
— Dennis Waitley
Reclaiming failure is about owning failure – making failure work for us instead of being something to fear or avoid. By understanding how failure works, and talking through tactics for changing our relationship with failure, we can learn faster, grow more, and achieve things we might not have even attempted before.

The greatest reward for a man’s failure is not necessarily the consequent success, but what he becomes by it.

No human ever became interesting by not failing. The more you fail and recover and improve, the better you are as a person. Ever meet someone who’s ALWAYS had EVERYTHING work out for them with ZERO struggle? They usually have the depth of a puddle. Or they don’t exist.
Chris Hardwick
Being human means you will make mistakes. And you will make mistakes, because failure is God’s way of moving you in another direction.

Failure is only
the opportunity
more intelligently
to begin again.

The things which hurt, instruct.
-Benjamin Franklin
It’s only when you risk failure that you discover things. When you play it safe, you’re not expressing the utmost of your human experience.

The season of failure is the best time for sowing the seeds of success.

Failure is instructive. The person who really thinks learns quite as much from his failures as from his successes. – John Dewey
There’s always failure. And there’s always disappointment. And there’s always loss. But the secret is learning from the loss, and realizing that none of those holes are vacuums. – Michael J. Fox
