Good Morning,

The entire quote goes like this:

• "All that is necessary to break the spell of inertia and frustration is this: Act as if it were impossible to fail. That is the talisman, the formula, the command of right about face which turns us from failure to success."

So much of who we are and what we accomplish in life is what we think and how we act on those thoughts.  We hear the saying:  "If you think you can, you can.  If you think you can't you can't."  Thoughts create action and action creates results.  

The little dog in the picture of acting like failure isn't an option.  We had a couple of schnauzers over the years.  They acted much like this dog.  In most cases, they won.  The big dogs left them alone.

If we act like failure is not an option, we have a far better chance of succeeding in the long run.  Yes, there will be setbacks but we shouldn't take them as failure. We learn from them, build on them and, believing that it is impossible to fail, move on until we succeed. 

Have a successful week,

Jim
