Failure doesn't mean you are a failure,

It does mean you haven't succeeded yet.

Failure doesn't mean you have accomplished¹ nothing,

It does mean you have learned something.

Failure doesn't mean you have been a fool,

It does mean you had a lot of faith.

Failure doesn't mean you’ ve been disgraced,

It does mean you were willing to try.

Failure doesn't mean you don’t have it,

It does mean you have to do something in a different way.

Failure doesn't mean you are inferior,

It does mean you are not perfect.

Failure doesn't mean you’ve wasted your life,

It does mean you have a reason to start afresh.

Failure doesn't mean you should give up,

It does mean you must try harder.

Failure doesn't mean you’ll never make it,

It does mean it will take a little longer.

Failure doesn't mean God has abandoned you,

It does mean God has a better idea.
