Everyone fails. The successful people just handle it differently. Some people let it crush them, and they use it as an excuse to give up on their goals. The successful people use it as a stepping stone on their way to success. Most people fear it so much they won't follow their passions because they are frozen in it. I have a wonderful life - albeit humble life - that I could never have had if I hadn't embraced the secrets of failing. It also helps to understand that we are created to overcome. Historically, humans have overcome so much that it is almost more arrogant to assume that you are special enough not to be able to overcome your own failures.
