Don’t make excuses make progress

By Rusty Potter

Michael Jordan said, “ I can accept failure; everyone fails at something. But I can’t accept not trying.” We have all made mistakes in life. The key is to learn 5 lessons from each mistake. It is important that we learn and grow from our mistakes. Every failure can be a stepping-stone for self-improvement.

Failure can be your motivation to succeed. Failure can inspire winners. Michael Jordan also said, “I have failed over and over in my life and that is why I succeed.” We should not allow failure to be a breaking point in our life but we should use failure as a breakthrough.

We can’t change yesterday, but we can change tomorrow. We must remember our future is bigger than our past. The opportunities in front of us are limitless. We must strive to be better than we were yesterday. Learn something new every day. In the future strive to achieve more, do more, and accomplish more. Life is a reflection of our thoughts. If you can change what you think about yourself you are on your way to changing your world. The person that has the power to change your life is the one you look at in the mirror each morning.
