Does failure really exist?
If you believe you have failed, then you have. If you believe you don’t have the ability to succeed, then you don’t. ____The moment you decide to give up or to stop working toward your goals, failure is born.

Don’t believe in a clear finish line for goals.

B.Failure only exists in your own mind! |
