A short motivational piece by Dean Graziosi arguing that perceived failures are part of the success journey. Graziosi introduces the metaphor of a “success auditor” who tracks attempts and reframes near-quit moments as checkpoints; persistent continuation through repeated near-quits is presented as the turning point for achieving one’s potential.

I want you to think about this. What if there was a success auditor that literally kept track of all the things that you tried in life, knows every one of your failures as you think is failures. But what if it was part of the journey? What if it wasn't failures? What if when you think of quitting, when you almost give up, when. When you think you're there and someone pulls the rug out from underneath you, or the money doesn't come through, the marketing doesn't work, or your spouse doesn't support you, or your family think you're crazy, or you watch the news and you have self doubt when you're an inch away, a millimeter away from quitting and you don't? What if the success auditor checks off another box and says she got through another one? Unfortunately she's got four more. But after the fifth time she almost thinks of quitting, but still continues to get up and move forward? That's when it's happening. And what if you only go three more times and you quit and you never get to realize who you were meant to be?
