Why You Should Keep Trying
“NEVER QUIT. If you stumble, Get back up. What happened yesterday no longer matters. Today is another day, so get on track and move closer to your dreams and goals. YOU CAN DO IT! “

If you keep on trying at something, then you can never ‘fail’. Failure only happens when you give up, as otherwise, all that’s happened is that you’ve had a set-back and learned from it.
If this sounds like cheesy self-help, it’s not. In fact, this is very true when you consider what happens when you fail.
Accept Failure as Part of Your Journey
Say you want to create a YouTube channel that will make you lots of money so you can quit your day job. It’s a common enough ambition, so maybe you can relate.
The usual way to go about this is to create a YouTube channel using what you know about technology and then upload videos. If you’re very, very lucky (or just highly talented), you’ll be seen by the right person, maybe go viral, and your channel will be a massive hit.
But in most cases? Unfortunately, most of the time, it is not that easy.
The reason for this is that you’ll have no experience and that the odds are stacked against you. Being recognized on YouTube is very difficult because there are millions of other channels out there.
Failure is Learning
So what do you do?
You take down your channel… then you create another one, and you try again! Only this time, you will probably be carrying over a few fans you generated from the last channel, and you’ll be bringing over your knowledge and your experience. Now you will know how to create videos that people like, you will have learned a bit about editing, and you’ll know not to make the same mistake as last time.
It may be painful, but your new channel will be 10xs as good as the last one and thus 10xs as likely to succeed. This is incredible progress. Now you can see that failing the last time was the best thing that could have happened.
Fuel your success
To be honest, you’re probably going to stumble and fail many times before you hit that home run. Only this time you’ll hopefully realize that that’s okay. This time you’ll know that the next time you try, you’ll be 10x more likely to succeed again.
And if you keep going and keep plugging away, then eventually, you will make it! You are at the point where you’re doing everything completely perfectly. You have grown as a person, and now you are the expert at what you do. At this point, you are almost sure to succeed!
It’s not the success that makes you grow, learn, get stronger or get better; it’s failure. So remember to value it!
