Many try to live life with as few failures as possible. Trying not to fail in your job, trying not to fail in your finances, trying not to fail in class, and trying not to fail God.
When we succeed we tend to forget to examine. For example, if a sports team wins a game, do they look at the game tape closer than if they lost? We all examine and adjust faster when we have failure.
Embrace failure when it comes because it is not the end, it is the start of a new beginning.

Two of the greatest statements/principles I’ve ever heard came from the award winning Lady Volunteers coach, Pat Summitt.
“You don’t win a basketball game in the first half, but you certainly can lose one.”
And the best of all, “Handle success like you handle failure.”
