What is Success without Failure?

I find it so frustrating when people have these unrealistic goals. In the past, I had goals like "That number one spot on the podium is mine." Not achieving this goal, I started realising that I can't have that level of expectations on myself. On practise days I have the same lap times as the top girls. When it comes to race days I find myself at 5th place. And why? Because I expect too much and push myself too hard. So this is what I have learned...

Many people think to fail means you're a failure. Here are a few quotes from most successful people in this world, who also thought they are failures once upon a time, but that never stopped them from getting what they want.

UFC Fighter, Conor McGregor said, "I'm not going to get somewhere and say, 'OK, I'm done.' Success is never final; I'll just keep on going. The same way as failure never being fatal. Just keep going. I'm going to the stars and then past them."!

Coco Chanel once said, "Success is most often achieved by those who don't know that failure is inevitable."

Winston Churchill said, "Success is walking from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm."

George Bernard Shaw said, "Success does not consist in never making mistakes but in never making the same one a second time."

These are highly successful people who had a lot of ups and down to get where they are. So don't you give up now. Keep pushing. Failure is just part of your dreams. No one can achieve anything without failing.
Reach for the stars, then past it.
