Many do having this thinking that there are specific time or age bracket to be successful, once you pass that age bracket, you don’t need to stress yourself anymore because they always view it as the end and no success can be achieved again which is 100% wrong, I was checking out the story of this KFC man Colonel Sanders and I was really motivated and learn a lot from him especially when It come to entrepreneurship. At his old age (75) he was still struggling and trying to attain that success even thou he failed he still didn’t give up, one thing really amazed me, he keep trying and they keep rejecting him for like 1009 times and yet he didn’t give up, that kind of patience and he keep believing in himself that one day he will achieve his goals. Can you?

Failure At Times Bring In Success

Yes, you read it right, not every failure indicate the end is near, there are some failure that will always give you that push that you can surely do it or reach that success if you keep trying and pushing hard. What do you think keep pushing sanders even after a thousand rejections that was because his believe and hope in his dream is very strong. He even engage in lot of things along the way but one thing about him is that he never gives in to failure even at his old age, which pass out this messages that it is never too late to achieve that goal.

Let Your Pass Be In The Past

This statement, lot of entrepreneurs need to understand it really well, we should always allow our past to be in the past, you failed today doesn’t mean you can’t succeed tomorrow, so why giving up when you never achieve that goal. Never allow your past to have a negative effect on your future achievement, the only thing it can make you do is to give up and giving up is the stepping stone to failure. Imagine if he gave up his entire dream because he wasn’t accepted in the past, will there be kfc today; will he still be that successful?

Let me end it on this note, most time it is always good to follow our heart and take a leap of faith towards our goal, we should keep working to achieve it and not against it, at times no matter the failure, all you might need is just a fresh start, even if everything is confusing or the rejection is much, just calm down, relax and restart afresh.

Always remember this statement from Colonel Sanders which says failure can be a stepping stone to something better.
