Success is the holy grail for many of us. During our quest for greatness, we lose sight of the importance of determination, perseverance, and resiliency. We shouldn’t become complacent once we achieve our goals or give up because we have failed at something. We should use such failure as a learning opportunity, a catalyst for moving forward. Those individuals with the courage to continue no matter the odds against them reflect the true essence of the human spirit. Winston Churchill provides us with a reminder that no matter what stage we are in life’s journey we should not give up in the face of adversity or rest on or laurels. The next time you believe you reached the top or are questioning your abilities to continue, know that you have what it takes to achieve more. What steps can you take today to develop a resilient attitude or a growth mindset?
“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.” – Winston Churchill
