Rising Above Your Setbacks
In order to achieve our loftiest goals we must stretch and grow. Our failures and setbacks teach us what we need to learn in order to get to the next step. You will have mistakes and problems along the way, but the trick is to accept, learn and rise above. This is how lasting success is born!
BUT...Prints In The Sand
Don't be content to just let those "BUT" prints gather and allow you to have less than you could have had for your life. To eliminate them you need to generate a wave; a wave of change and positive momentum and positive thoughts. This wave will give you a clean slate for the rest of your life and you will find the success that you are looking for.

Life Has A Windshield
You will spend much more time behind your car's steering wheel looking through the windshield than you will spend looking in the rear view mirror. That is not to say that you shouldn't take time to glance into the rear view mirror to check for danger so you can negotiate the road ahead safer and with more efficiency. Now compare that to your day-to-day life, do you have a tendency to look behind you and see only your failures and challenges; or are you like an experienced driver who checks it periodically for safety purposes but is totally focused on what lies ahead for you?
It’s a New Day!
It’s a new day is a statement we all should make daily. The things of yesterday can never be again and each day is a new starting point.
Celebrate Failure
Leaders should not only celebrate successes, but failures as well.
The Gravity of Failure
We can and should learn from failures. We just need to be thoughtful about the lessons we carry forward.
Your Setbacks and Cynics Don't Define You. Your Responses Do
The people history recorded as the most accomplished were not born with some super human like resilience that shielded them from disappointment, self-doubt or misgivings. Each had to wage their own inner battles with fear as they worked to overcome the obstacles that lined their path to success. What they ultimately learned was that your setbacks & cynics don't define you. Your responses do.

Lesson #4: Use Failure As A Catalyst for Success
“Luck is a dividend of sweat,” said Kroc. “The more you sweat, the luckier you get.” Despite all his hard work, Kroc was not always a lucky man.

He was not immune to disappointment; what set Kroc apart from his competitors, however, was how he learned from his failures and bounced back.

Bounce! by Barry Moltz

About.com’s Martin Murray’s post “Non-Profit Organization Suing ERP Supplier” A Sign of the Times?
In a white paper that I had written in 2007 titled “SAP Procurement for Public Sector” I had highlighted how the challenges with failed ERP-centric initiatives extended beyond the public sector to include the private sector. The difference as one senior Colgate-Palmolive executive told me shortly after scrapping a failed program was that “unlike the public sector in which a failed initiative becomes front page news, private sector company ERP failures rarely make a blip on the media’s collective radar screen.” The lack of media awareness notwithstanding, the frequency of failures in the private sector is comparable to the number of setbacks that occur in the public sector.

Successful people are self confident. Fear is the enemy of self confidence. It can immobilize you, making it difficult to reach your goals and aspirations. You can overcome fear by taking action.

Business Failures: They Don’t Have to Happen
The long-term success rate for U.S. businesses is only about 50 percent. But how often do business failures go unnoticed? The fact is, most business failures are noticed, but they’re ignored. These businesses often have operating lines of credit and operating accounts, but frequent overdrafts, or they have a line of credit that has turned into an evergreen loan.
