“Every failure brings with it the seed of an equivalent success.” – Napoleon Hill
In all that we endeavor, it is not always the outcome we seek which provides us the greatest benefit. Sometimes it is the ancillary outcome, that pleasant surprise we never saw coming. Sometimes it is the thrill of simply getting closer to our goal. And sometimes, it is the mere pleasure of engaging in the practice of doing something.
Whether or not we ultimately achieve whatever victory we hope to attain is of less importance that the experience we take away from the attempt. With each encounter we engage, we grow in wisdom, strength, and knowledge. We may spend our lives chasing goals that continually evade us, but never let us lose sight of what we gain along the way. Though that final step might be considered failure, each step toward it brings its own unique success.
