Failure: A Stepping Stone

What do we do with failure? I like Johnny Cash's approach when he says:

"You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don't try to forget the mistakes, but you don't dwell on it. You don't let it have any of your energy, any of your time, or any of your space."

(I like his advice! At a time in my life when I don't have a lot of energy to spare, I don't want to waste it!)

(Quoted in 100 Ways to Simplify Your Life, p. 11)
