Success is not final, failure is not fatal: It is the courage to continue that counts. –Winston Churchill
Do you stop training after getting your first gold in 100 meters run? Do you? Or do you stop training after losing your first 100 meters run? No. That means getting gold or loosing is not destination. It’s simply a starting a point of another journey. And that’s what matters the most…starting to train again and again.
What defines you as in individual is the fact that you continued moving forward courageously.
Maybe it was a job you didn’t get or a personal goal that took longer than expected. Did it stop you? Or did you find a way to regroup and try again? That’s the courage Churchill is talking about.
Life is less about the wins and losses and more about the mindset we bring to them. Success can be fleeting, and failure can feel overwhelming, but neither defines us. What counts is staying in the game, learning, and growing with every step. In the end, it’s the courage to continue that shapes the life we want to live.
Empowering Tip: Keep moving forward—every step counts.
