Defining Failure

I have seen a lot of people recently talking about how they have failed. I thought maybe as a community we could come together and redefine Failure. Here are a few of the quotes that help remind me to redefine Failure.

Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently.
Henry Ford

Failure is success if we learn from it.
Malcolm Forbes

Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm.
Winston Churchill

Failure is part of the process of success. People who avoid failure also avoid success.
Robert Kiyosaki

and of course the classic (and my favorite) -

I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.
Thomas A. Edison

    That Edison quote is one of my favourites as well. We're so hard on ourselves when it comes to fitness and weight loss. Even myself, I have to keep reminding that this is about correcting over 30 years of bad eating habits and that isn't going to happen overnight.

    Results not typical and all that.

    There will be setbacks, but the most important thing is to come back to it!

    Fantastic quotes, thanks! I really needed to read them. :) (I'm the Queen of negative self-talk.)
