I saw a t-shirt once that said "failure is not an option." I disagree because the statement is incomplete. It should read: "Failure is not an option... it's a certainty." The statement should then end with this question: "What happens next?"
Your only true options are deciding how you will respond to life’s certain "failures" in the moment. Do you give up and blame? Or do you take initiative, regroup and keep going? It's not if, but when.
"It's in our moments of decision that our destiny is shaped." - Tony Robbins

“Why do we fall? So we can learn to pick ourselves up.” — while those words are spoken by Alfred in Batman Begins, they are none the less poignant or true.
