Failure and Perseverance
Posted by MaryPat on June 23rd, 2010“People fail forward to success.” ~ Mary Kay Ash
“Failure + Perserverance = Success” ~George Ross
These are a couple of quotes that are posted on my Facebook profile. Since I had a some friend requests this week from people who specifically mentioned their enjoyment of my posted quotes, I thought I would share a few here.
While I haven’t had any major failures recently, I have definitely had my share (if you have followed me for a while, you can probably remember a few)….and will continue to have failures as I attempt new and exciting things.
I once heard someone define success as getting up one more time than you fall. So I guess it’s all part of the journey!

MaryPat, I love this post…
SO true…
Just getting up one more time can make all the difference.
When my coach suggested I asked several people close to me what they saw as my top qualities. What I was told was that perseverance is a strong asset of mine.
This year my perseverance was running very low…. lots of transition for me with my mom’s passing away and reexamining my values and purpose.
After stepping back and giving myself a chance to breathe, rest, and work at a pace of flow rather than push….
I am feeling some real strength in my steps and feel more inspired, productive, and joyous than I have in years!
I’m loving the 30-day Blog Challenge.
I feel the energy of all who are participating!
Thank you for the opportunity, MaryPat

Suzanne,
thanks for the feedback! Everyday can feel like it takes a lot to persevere when our “life” acts up.
Glad you are enjoying this process!
