Our goal in life should NOT be to achieve success by avoiding failure. Our goal in life SHOULD be to respond appropriately to failure so we can achieve the greatest success. We will always fail. Failure happens more than success. We will only succeed by learning and growing and adjusting our behavior and attitude to the many failures that we face and not cower away from difficulty or quit when we fail. Successful people don't fail less. They merely adjust better to failure and thus succeed more.
Bonus Feature: Easter is a great time to reflect on how we respond to failure. Specifically, how do we respond to those who fail us or who fail around us? We fail and God responds with Grace, by sending His only Son to die on a cross for us. Our friends, family, coworkers, teammates, colleagues, roommates, classmates, fellow human beings all fail us and fail around us. We even fail ourselves. How do we respond? Judgement? Satisfaction (ie - see, you aren't always right)? Anger? Disgust? Disappointment? Or do we show a small measure of grace?
