The Road To Success
by Catherine Pulsifer, (c)1998

As we travel down the road to success,
at some point we will ultimately meet failure.

What is important, however, is that we keep focused on our end goal. When failure occurs, a lot of people just see a dead end. It is only a dead end if you see it that way. All you have to do is back up and start at a different point.

How you see failure will ultimately determine whether you give up or try another way. Attitude plays a tremendously big role. How do you see your world? Do you have a determined attitude? Do you believe in yourself, or do you accept what others tell you about yourself? Are you quick to give up, or do you persevere?

Scrutinize your attitude — how do you see your world?

Don’t be blind and only see the dead end. Stop and determine what change in direction will get you back on track.
