the significance of failure

robert h. schuller

failure doesn t mean you are a failure,

it does mean you haven t succeeded yet.

failure doesn t mean you have accomplished nothing,

it does mean you have learned something.

failure doesn t mean you have been a fool,

it does mean you had a lot of faith.

failure doesn t mean you ve been disgraced,

it does mean you were willing to try.

failure doesn t mean you don t have it,

it does mean you have to do something in a different way.

failure doesn t mean you are inferior,

it does mean you are not perfect.

failure doesn t mean you ve wasted your life,

it does mean you have a reason to start afresh.

failure doesn t mean you should give up,

it does mean you must try harder.

failure doesn t mean you ll never make it,

it does mean it will take a little longer.

failure doesn t mean god has abandoned you,

it does mean god has a better idea.
