Just like it hurts when everything is going as normal then you stub your toe and want to shout in anger at the pain, failure works the same way. You might be cruising along in your journey, and you hit a roadblock, a set back, or just a flat out rejection. Instantly it hurts. That is a normal feeling. Everyone at some point in their life has faced failure, and almost all of those times I am sure that it hurt. The good news about failure is that it is not a static place. Just because you fail does not mean YOU are a failure. It just means you FACED a failure. What that means is that it allows for you a learning opportunity. A chance to try again, and do it better, bigger, and more efficiently. Without failure, there would be no success. They go hand in hand and that is what makes it so rewarding when you do see success. I always tell the people I mentor that one day of success is built upon one thousand days of failure. That is why failure is so vital to your success. A "fail" is just a short word that means "success building block." Without it, there is no grounds for success. It is just like when you first learned to walk. Whether you knew it or not, every time you fell over, you got back up and tried again. Each time you stood back up, you were stronger, had more knowledge about what not to do, and eventually were able to walk on your own. This book will explore all three of these concepts from the pain of failure, how to use failure as a learning opportunity, and finally how you can start laying the foundation of your purpose with the building blocks of failure.
