The truth about Failure

Failure doesn't mean you are a failure,
..it does mean you haven't succeeded YET.
Failure doesn't mean you have accomplished nothing,
..it does mean you have learned something.
Failure doesn't mean you have been a fool,
..it does mean you had allot of faith.
Failure doesn't mean you have been disgraced,
..it does mean you were willing to try.
Failure doesn't mean you don't have it,
..it does mean you have to do something in a different way.
Failure doesn't mean you are inferior,
..it does mean you are not perfect.
Failure doesn't mean you've wasted your life,
..it does mean you've a reason to start afresh.
Failure doesn't mean you should give up,
..it does mean you should try harder.
Failure doesn't mean you'll never make it,
..it does mean it will take a little longer.
Failure doesn't mean God has abandoned you,
..it does mean God has a better idea!

I came across this on another web site. Please forgive any typo's because I don't no how to cut and paste. I just wanted to share it with you all because there are times when I'm fighting this disease that I feel like such a failure.
