Success is not built on a straight path. You encounter different loops and turns yet they all lead to something greater. Failure isn't always a negative thing. You make mistakes and bad decisions so that you may learn from them in future encounters. Failure builds and shapes us into the person we are meant to be in the future. No one who has taken the path to success has ever said it was easy or that it was a straight path. For instance, Michael Jordan, the greatest NBA player of all time even stated that he had numerous failures while he played basketball. He failed over and over again in his life yet that is why he succeeded. So whenever you encounter failure, roll with the punches and move on towards your destiny.
