"I have not failed, I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work."

This was written by Thomas Edison

Now what does it mean?

Meaning

Guarantee you you'll fail! At something, anything.

You know how many times I have failed? I- even on my self-improvement journeys- have had bad weeks where I struggled but it just made my next week even better because I had new motivation.

You'll fail, just make sure to reflect on WHY you failed and not the HOW you failed.

Understanding why that happened helps you understand why you failed to ensure you do not repeat that again.

Even Thomas himself admitted he fails. Sports players lose games every season! Yet some still become champions in the same season.

Kobe Bryant missed 50% of his shots, still one of the best players of all time!

Change your perspective a bit, view it, not as a loss, but an attempt!
