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.

THE BEAUTY OF A RIVER

SEASON TWO: DAY FOUR: Today’s Quote: “Never insult an alligator until after you have crossed the river.”-Cordell Hull Oftentimes, the dark, unending, winding, confusing, trials and tribulations are simply disguised to a glorious path. No matter how dark is the night it will always break into day. Let’s keep hope alive. Happy new day and I hope it's getting to a great start. Welcome to day four of “Andy Omoregie Daily Inspirational Dose” THE BEAUTY OF A RIVER: When I was a child growing up in my hometown Benin-City, I used to go to the river in my village. That was the source of our daily water. I was always fascinated by the calmness and stillness of the river. It’s just there waiting, as people of all ages would gather to fetch water or play by the river. With this I totally agree with Hal Boyle when he said, “What makes a river so restful to people is that it doesn't have any doubt - it is sure to get where it is going, and it doesn't want to go anyw...

THE BEGINNING PART 1

SEASON TWO: DAY ONE: Today's Quote: “Life is an adventure of passion, risk, danger, laughter, beauty, love; a burning curiosity to go with the action to see what it is all about, to go search for a pattern of meaning, to burn one's bridges because you're never going to go back anyway, and to live to the end.” - Saul D. Alinsky First I want to thank all my loved ones and friends all over the world who have supported everything I have done throughout my career right from Nigeria when I began as a cartoonist. May God continue to protect and bless you all. Most of you guys know my story and how it all started.

THE BEGINNING PART ONE: During the course of my career, I found out there are many people out there who don't know what they want in life. I also discover that mos...
