In my last article, I spoke about how you need to look at each failure as a stepping stone to success. The following is a powerful example of someone that we all are very familiar with who just would not quit and always envisioned his ultimate goal/WHY: 1831 - Failed in business. 1832 - Defeated for Legislature. 1833 - Second failure in business. 1836 - Suffered a nervous breakdown. 1840 - Defeated for elector. 1843 - Defeated for Congress. 1848 - Defeated for Congress. 1855 - Defeated for Senate. 1858 - Defeated for Vice President. 1858 - Defeated for SENATE. 1860 - ELECTED PRESIDENT. Guess WHO? Abraham Lincoln. Unbelievable, huh? Lincoln is one of the most highly-recognized presidentsc of the United States. Most people would have quit after just experiencing one of his defeats, but he persevered until he became the president of the United States. Lincoln’s failures made him one of the best presidents ever because he struggled all the way there. When an individual earns his/her position in the spotlight, they are full of pride and will do the best possible job. Abraham Lincoln’s stepping stones to the presidency empowered him to become a legend in U.S.history. You need to look at your own journey and see where you have failed in order to learn from the experience. Every failure makes you a stronger person and when you reach your pinnacle of success you will be the best there ever was because you earned the right to be there! I would suggest that you print out this article and read the story of Abe Lincoln while you are progressing on your journey, because you will be able to relate to the words defeat/failure.
