I've missed more than 9,000 shots in my career, I've lost almost 300 games, 27 times I've been trusted to take the game-winning shot and missed. I've failed again and again.

This is the ultimate reality check from Michael Jordan. We tend to idolize success as a straight line of victories, but true greatness is actually built on a mountain of mistakes.Failure isn't the opposite of success; it is the price of admission. Those 9,000 misses weren't signs of weakness; they were the necessary reps that built the greatest player of all time. Every time he missed, he learned. Every time he lost, he got hungrier.Don't hide your failures. Wear them as proof that you are in the arena, trying.What is one "missed shot" in your life that actually taught you how to win later?timelessquotes.blog
