"Success is not final, failure is not final: it is the courage to continue that counts." - Winston Churchill
Do not define yourself by your successes or failures. Unfortunately, most people do. Most people find some success and grasp onto it with all they've got. Their entire identity becomes tied up in it. You may have heard the verse in Scripture that says, "So the one who thinks he is standing firm should be careful not to fall." [1 Corinthians 10:12]
When you've placed your identity in things that can be fleeting, your joy, self-worth, pride, fulfilment, and your very identity will be fleeting as well. Be careful of this. It is a recipe for disaster.
Same is true of the person who has experienced failure. Their mindset is, "I am a failure because I failed." When it should be, "I failed, but I am not a failure. I will ultimately succeed." Your mindset is everything.
You are not defined by your successes or failures, but rather how you respond to them. "It is the courage to continue that counts."
