Failure: Friend or Foe

Life is just a series of failures from beginning to end. That sounds really negative, doesn’t it. However, if you redefine the word failure to be positive it changes the feel of that sentence.

Consider for a minute when babies learn to walk. They stand up, fall, get back up and repeat this process until they are rambling all around the house. What if that baby decided when they first fell that walking was too hard or not worth the effort? Thanks goodness that is not what happens otherwise we would all be wearing padding on our knees and butts because we were crawling or scooting everywhere.
