why failure is not an option

“I can accept failure. Everyone fails at something. But I can’t accept not trying.” --Michael Jordan.

Great leaders have experienced failures in their pasts, but never quit trying and never gave up. They reach the pinnacles of success by not accepting failure as an option and go on to achieve great things.

Sometimes though, no matter how hard you try, your efforts seem not to amount to anything and you feel close to failure. Most of the time you’re telling yourself self-defeating lies and other times you just need to pick yourself up and start all over again.

When you leave the "failure" in the dust and begin again, you’re negating its importance and know that those efforts didn’t work – so now, it’s time to move on to something that does work. No matter where you are in your life, failure doesn’t have to be an option you think about and resign yourself to.

Wallowing in stories of “what might have been” only keep you from accomplishing what you’re capable of. Consider the following truths before you accept failure as an option in your life:

Does your morning routine consist of staying in bed as late as possible while barely making it to work on time? Getting the day off on the wrong foot can negatively impact your entire day. Imagine how different your life would be if you had a morning routine that ensured a good day, instead!

If you’re like most people, your morning probably goes something like this:

Alarm goes off.
Hit snooze (3 times, at least).
Lie there and think about how much you don’t want to get up. Or maybe you think about how much you dislike your job.
Shower.
Get dressed.
Run out the door with a granola bar (or nothing) in your hand.

How can you expect to have a great day when you have a morning routine that is disjointed, harried, and unhealthy? A good day requires intentional preparation and a solid foundation.

Consider these ideas when developing your positive morning routine:
