Watch a baby learning to walk. When she first goes from crawling to walking, she’s down more than she’s up. There may be a few tears, but she quickly bounces back up, ready to try again. The urge to walk, to explore the world in a new way, keeps her going.

Wouldn’t it be great if we could maintain this same kind of spirit? A baby doesn’t think, “Gee, I fell. Now, I’ll never learn to walk.” As adults, we sometimes let our failures discourage us. If something goes wrong one time, we think it will always go wrong. We don’t get up to take the next step.

 Remember, that you will fail once in a while, but you can learn from your failures. When you try something new that you fear  you may fail at. Just remind yourself that you’ve succeeded in the past persisting.
