There can be no great courage where there is no confidence or assurance, and half the battle is in the conviction that we can do what we undertake.

– Orison Swett Marden

Every successful person has experienced countless setbacks, obstacles, and even outright defeats, in the course of his or her life. What helps is the ability to respond positively and constructively to these defeats and to bounce back. This quality of bouncing rather than breaking should be your determination to your success.


A normal, intelligent person,organizes each area of their lives to avoid failure and disappointment as much as possible. They think ahead and anticipate what could go wrong. They then take the necessary precautions to guard against setbacks and problems, weigh and balance different options then select the course of action that offers the great results.

But, no matter how well they think and plan, things do not always turn out the way they expect.

Murphy’s Law says: ”Whatever can go wrong will go wrong. Of all the things that can go wrong, the worst possible thing will go wrong at the worst possible time and cost the most amount of money.”

Therefore, disappointment comes unbidden. Disappointment will come in spite of your best efforts to avoid it. Disappointment is inevitable and unavoidable. As sure as the sun rises in the east you are going to experience disappointments in your journey to achieve your goals. And the more goals you set and the more things you try, the more difficulties and problems you will have.Since you can’t always avoid disappointment, no matter what you do, the only thing that matters is how you will deal with the disappointment when it comes upon you, unwanted and unexpected. You can’t let it overwhelm you. Don’t blow up, become angry, and give up.

All you have to do is deal with disappointment by taking it in stride. Don’t allow disappointment to stop you from achieving your goals. Recover and continue forward.

Remember,Motivational speaker Charlie Jones says, ”It’s not how far you fall but how high you bounce that counts!” .

Don’t let others define you. Don’t let the past confine you. Take charge of your life with confidence and determination and there are no limits on what you can do or be.

Habits to Lead A More Peaceful Life :


1. Stop yourself from being judgmental
2. Say ‘thank you’ early and often
3. Smile more, Be yourself
4. Don’t worry about the future
5. Listen to understand, not to respond
6. Don’t procrastinate
7. Prioritize yourself
8. Stop criticizing

Smiling not only offers a mood boost but helps our bodies release cortisol and endorphins that provide numerous health benefits, including:

– Reduced blood pressure.
– Increased endurance.
– Reduced pain.
– Reduced stress.
– Strengthened immune system.

Be humble. You may be wrong.
Be hard working. You may be luckier.
Be kind. You may be remembered.
Be generous. Others may reciprocate.
Be curious. You may stay teachable.
Be trustworthy. You may see further.
Be forgiving. You may feel lighter.
Be thankful. You will be happier.

Give up all of these:

– Self doubt
– Fear of failure
– Toxic people
– Negative thoughts
– Making excuses
– Pleasing people

“Keep on going, and the chances are that you will stumble on something, perhaps when you are least expecting it. I never heard of anyone ever stumbling on something sitting down.”

There are many success quotes that have been stated by many successful people but there are some quotes that have been a driving force for me whenever I want to give up. They are my ‘wake up’ alarm . Let see if they help you as well;

“Would you like me to give you a formula for success? It’s quite simple, really: Double your rate of failure. You are thinking of failure as the enemy of success. But it isn’t at all. You can be discouraged by failure or you can learn from it, so go ahead and make mistakes. Make all you can. Because remember that’s where you will find success.”

— Thomas J. Watson

“Successful people do what unsuccessful people are not willing to do. Don’t wish it were easier; wish you were better.”

— Jim Rohn

Success is not final; failure is not fatal: It is the courage to continue that counts.”

— Winston S. Churchill

There is a powerful driving force inside every human being that, once unleashed, can make any vision, dream, or desire a reality.”

— Anthony Robbins

“The real test is not whether you avoid this failure, because you won’t. It’s whether you let it harden or shame you into inaction, or whether you learn from it; whether you choose to persevere.”

— Barack Obama

“People who succeed have momentum. The more they succeed, the more they want to succeed, and the more they find a way to succeed. Similarly, when someone is failing, the tendency is to get on a downward spiral that can even become a self-fulfilling prophecy.”

— Tony Robbins
