FAILURE AND REJECTION, MAKES YOU STRONGER

SEASON TWO.:
DAY FIVE:
Today's Quote:
“The fittest person survives! The fighting man succeeds! He who Fights to Fit, will Survive to Succeed!” - Israelmore Ayivor



Good morning and welcome to day five of Andy Omoregie Daily Inspirational Dose. According to Ray Goforth, “There are two types of people who will tell you that you cannot make a difference in this world. Those who are afraid to try and those who are afraid you will succeed” My advice for you today is that you should never stop believing in yourself. Today article will inspire and drive you to self-fulfillment and accomplishment. Rediscover and renew yourself. Have fun.

FAILURE AND REJECTION, MAKES YOU STRONGER:
In life, failure and rejection is a learning process instead of disappointment. Though as human, we fear failure and rejection but in reality every use of the word “no” is an opportunity to work harder and turn that “no” into “yes.” In the immortal words of Napoleon Hill, “One of the most causes of failure is the habit of quitting when one is overtaken by temporary defeat.”
Abraham Lincoln is an example of failure and rejection. At the age of seven, Abraham Lincoln and his family were rejected and forced out of their home. Young Lincoln had to work to support his family. He lost his mother at the age of nine and when he grew up, he was eager to read law but had no education.  At 22 he lost his job as a store clerk. A year later, he ran for state legislature and lost. He didn't give up, that same year he went into business and ended up broke and in debt. It took him 17 years to repay the debt. At the age of 27, he had a nervous breakdown. Two year years later, he contested for the post of a speaker in his state legislature and lost. His predicaments were endless. At 31, he was defeated in his attempt to become an elector and four years later he was defeated while running for congress. At the age of 39, he lost his re-election bid.  At 41, his four years old son died. At 42, he was rejected as a prospective land officer. At 45, he ran for the senate and lost. At 47, he lost the vice-presidential domination. Two years later, he ran for senate and lost again. At the age of 51, he was elected the President of the United States of America.
It's almost impossible to go through life without experiencing some kind of failure. People who do so probably live so cautiously that they go nowhere. Put simply, they're not really living at all. In this life, failure to one person might simply be a great learning experience for someone else. Like the saying goes, one man's meat is another's man's poison.The wonderful thing about failure and rejection is that it's entirely up to us to decide how to handle it.

LIFE IS LIKE A RIVER PART 2

DAY FOUR: Today's Quote: “Only I can change my life. No one else can do it for me.” Carol Burnett I am so excited to be with you today as I share with you the part 2 of the article "Life is like a river" and as you go along I encourage you to read through with an open mind, open heart and if you have any question don't fail to contact me. That said, here we go. LIFE IS LIKE A RIVER PART 2:  How do you recover when life gives you blow on the head or knock you down? Let's look at the river for example. The river will at times change direction because of obstacles encountered, but will continue the journey to its destination. When one path is closed it seeks another path. So borrow a leaf from the river when life's obstacles turn up. The river never passes the same point twice and is only at that point for the precise moment it is there. It flows immediately to the next point in its journey. It does not normally backtrack. Those few times it does, it b...

LIFE IS A JOURNEY. Like the saying goes, life is a journey. Like every journey, it's full of ups and downs. But the ultimate goal of our journey is happiness. To embark on a journey, you have to have a clear picture of your destination. In absence of this, you will go round and round and back to the same point where you left. Worst of all, you may not reach your destination. The simple fact is that you do not have a clear ...
