It doesn't matter whether your objectives are in the area of art, business, ministry, sports, or relationships. The only way you can get ahead is to fail early, fail often, and fail forward.
After doing any group or personalized education, one of my deepest concerns is always that those people will go home from the meeting and nothing will change in their lives. They enjoy the "show" but fail to implement any of the ideas presented to them. I tell people continually: We overestimate the event and underestimate the process. Every fulfilled dream occurred because of dedication to a process.
People naturally tend toward inertia. That's why self-improvement is such a struggle, but that's also why adversity lies at the heart of every success. The process of achievement comes through repeated failures and the constant struggle to climb to a higher level.
Most people will grudgingly concede that they must make it through some adversity in order to succeed. They'll acknowledge that they have to experience the occasional setback to make progress, but I believe that success comes only if you take that thought one step farther. To achieve your dreams, you must embrace adversity and make failure a regular part of your life. If you're not failing, you're probably not really moving forward.

6ySuccess is the final lap of repeated failures. It is the crown that adversity brings to those whose garments are vicissitude and and failure but refuse to ever give up. I am also a product of suffering but am made better by what has happened to me. Now give me this mountain and I will scale it.
