When we fail, we are faced with a choice: give up or keep going. The decision we make in the aftermath of failure will determine whether we become stronger or not.If we give up, we will never know what could have been. We will never know if we could have achieved our goal if we had just kept trying. When we give up, we allow failure to defeat us.If we keep going, we show ourselves that we are not defined by our failures. We learn from our mistakes and become better for it. We become more resilient and better able to handle whatever life throws our way.In the end, it is up to us to decide whether failure will make us stronger or not. If we choose to keep going, we will find that failure can actually be a stepping stone to success.
