Failure isn't the opposite of success, it's how you get there. Like a plane needing air resistance to lift off, you need to push against obstacles to grow. Napoleon Hill wrote that every setback contains the seed of an equal or greater opportunity.
Failures are gifts from above to help you learn and grow. I already had a precondition to see failures as a stepping stone, and the metaphor that came to me is when we hop in a flight, you're in a Boeing 737 probably, or one of those bigger jets, and you notice when you're taking off, you don't hit anything like visible. You're, you're flying against something that is invisible— resistance, the wind, the air. But you have to hit this invisible thing called air fast enough and hard enough and at the right enough angle that this resistance, it's actually the resistance that forces you up into the night sky. So I looked at, okay, I hit this thing and these things are really hard. And Think and Grow Rich said behind every setback is the seed of equal or greater opportunity.
