Obsession with conventional ideas of 'success' can be harmful enough, but compound that stress with relationships, family, financial woes and health concerns, and you find yourself in a constant state of fight or flight. This causes people to be more reactionary, which further perpetuates the cycle of stress.

I've failed over and over and over again in my life and that is why I succeed.

Succeeding is not really a life experience that does that much good. Failing is a much more sobering and enlightening experience.

Success has nothing to do with what you gain in life or accomplish for yourself. It's what you do for others.

When you fail you learn from the mistakes you made and it motivates you to work even harder.

It's how you deal with failure that determines how you achieve success.

Success is dependent on effort.

True success is overcoming the fear of being unsuccessful.

At the end of the day, you are solely responsible for your success and your failure. And the sooner you realize that, you accept that, and integrate that into your work ethic, you will start being successful. As long as you blame others for the reason you aren't where you want to be, you will always be a failure.
