Really good book! Here's some helpful takeaways I got from the book:
It’s not failure rather the breakthroughs that define us. But you can’t have breakthroughs by sitting around or quitting.
Failure is not permanent unless you make it that way. Failure is just an event that transpires and has no bearing on your future success or past; the only bearing it has is what you choose to give it.
Failure is not final, it is like stepping stones.
Failure is not final unless you choose to do nothing about it.
You never really fail unless you quit. You now have experience, know what doesn’t work, what went right or wrong, etc.
You must decide if you’re going to emphasize what you did wrong or what you did right, and how you can improve.
In golf, a mulligan is a redo, an opportunity to try again and improve. So in life, one must decide if he/she is going to try again and improve, or just give up.
When the going gets tough, determine to buckle down and persevere.
Failure is more of a friend than foe.
Don’t let setbacks define you, let them propel you forward.
You can either accept the conditions as they are or accept responsibility and change them.
There’s no such thing as failure being final because nothing is final until you take your last breath on earth.
When you begin to change the way you look at things, the things you look at begin to change.
You haven’t failed unless you fail to try again. Keep trying again, that’s persistence.
Every downfall has something we can learn from. There’s a sliver lining in the darkness. The further you fall, the higher you can bounce back up.
Our past failures or circumstances do not have to rule us.
We learn from the past, but we do not have to let the fear from the past grip us.
When you focus on the blessings of today, you can let go of the fear and regrets of yesterday.
Failure isn’t final unless you decide it is.
Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm – Sir Winston Churchill
Only those who dare to fail greatly can achieve greatly – Robert F Kennedy
Success is ahead if you will persist in hope.
Successful people take the obstacles and failures and make success out of them.
Only you have the decision to make, you are the deciding factor to either quit or go on.
Ask yourself the following questions:
Is there some silver lining that I can get out of this failure?
Is this failure as devastating as it might seem or am I just making a mountain out of a mole hill?
Can I still go after my dream? Is it physically possible to continue?
Is this failure final?
Ask yourself what you are willing to go through to achieve your goal. Knowing that you are willing to be criticized, fail a certain number of times, etc., will help you continue towards your goal instead of quitting when you fail.
