And on that note—with our subconscious mind being so powerful—our quote of the day by Benedict reminds us that even the most successful people have had their fair share of failures. So don’t let that stop you from trying.
As Secrets of Success reported, Benedict believed that “our lives are not a series of random occurrences, but are a direct result of our inner feelings and moods.” She also wrote that the subconscious mind was like “a powerful cannon” that, with lots of effort and work—along with taking personal accountability for things—you can lead a great life of your own creation.
Basically, Benedict was all about harnessing the power of your mind to prosper in life. Very “mind over matter,” but to a much deeper level. While we can’t always just “think” our way through things, there is something to be said about how powerful words are and how self-talk can really help you triumph even during hard times. And today’s quote is all about when tries for success lead to failure, and why that’s necessary and normal.

If you only win, you’ll never learn how to lose correctly, and the slightest inconvenience or missteps might just blow your whole world up. Failures teach us valuable lessons and what to do differently next time.
So even though it can be daunting to try something new or take a big risk professionally or personally, you have to just do it regardless of the outcome. You shouldn’t be afraid to fall or flounder because the biggest success stories in history all include chapters of failure at some point.
