This week we will look at “failure” and how some well known people have handled their “failure”.

Most of us are familiar with Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls of the 80’s and 90’s. Michael and his Bulls dominated basketball during that era winning 6 championships.

Some may think that Michael Jordan had a natural talent and was an amazing basketball player his entire life. Although he is Michael Jordan, he is still human and had his share of struggle. We tend to look at our hero’s as superhuman, without flaw. Although Michael had an extremely successful career that does not mean he did not have his share of “failures”.

I chose to take a lesson from Michael and view my “failures” as a necessary part of life to reach our end goal. These “failures” shape our character and how we handle adversity.

This is a great video montage showing some of this and the past centuries most influential people, from Mother Theresa to Michael Jordan to Albert Einstein. At one point they were kids just like you and I, they had fears, they had setbacks and they had dreams. Had these people not been driven to accomplish what they have accomplished the world as we know it today might not be the same place. It truly does take only one person to make a difference in this world, whether it be big or small. What difference can you make?
