Failure is a Comma, Not a Period (5)
In case you haven’t memorized this yet…’failure is a comma, not a period.’ Lynne Ford
This is the last in our series (unless you all prompt me with more!) Remember, you have have failed before, lived to tell about it, and you will fail again. So, consider this:
5. Some failures are a result of something outside of your control. Best laid plans and all that…The airport you’re supposed to be flying out of is socked in for 24 hours and you miss your son’s dance recital. Your mother falls and breaks a hip. Since you are the only child (or the only responsible child), you miss a couple of key deadlines because you need (and want) to be taking care of your mother’s matters. You can feel like a failure – or recognize that you aren’t. Sometimes life has a way of getting in the way of ’success.’ Focus on the areas that are within your control. Manage those ‘failures.’ All of these “failures” were but a comma in the flow of your life…not a period. Pause and move on.
In your life, you have many opportunities for success and failure. If you would like additional tips, tools, and techniques that you can use to support your successes, then access one or both of the following free resource websites:
