Failure Is Just Another Checkpoint

To the stories that inspire us, see what it looks like to leverage failure!
You're bound to feel that inevitable sense of joy of a winning moment. The only thing is that it's not your winning moment, but a winning moment of someone else you know.
There's something that inspires us about hearing someone's success stories of making major progress and strides, whether it be a friend or someone who's reached those #GOALS we all want to reach.
But why?
What is it that makes us so genuinely willing to cheer that person on. Think about it. If we're being honest, it's that the other person appears to have winning moments when we aren't. In other words, we're in a "failing moment" comparatively.
It's like we get a sense of "I've put in the work, effort, and time; but my work seems so useless! It's like I've wasted my strength for nothing and to no purpose."
Yet, what may seem useless to you is what others would brand a winning moment and what seems like a winning moment to another is what the the other would brand as useless or "failing."
Failure is evidence of having not taken a risk.
You see, failure is just another checkpoint. It's simply a milestone on your unique path to success. How you choose to view it determines how you react to it, so redefine it.
Failure is evidence of having not taken a risk. Move your eyes beyond what's seen and your understanding of things and come to a knowing that your efforts will lead you and they will avail to something.
Here's a way to look at it: You "failing" can become an indicator of actually taking those leaps of faith that everyone talks about, but very few actually do.
