Great reminders that we have the power to change our attitude by deciding where to put our attention. Regarding your comments on failure, here’s an except and quote I love:

~ We all know that Thomas Edison invented the light bulb. Did you know he also invented the stock ticker, the electric vote recorder, the automatic telegraph, the electric safety miner’s lamp, fluorescent lights, the motion picture camera, and the phonograph?

While struggling with the light bulb, he replied, “I have not failed seven hundred times. I have not failed once. I have succeeded in proving that those seven hundred ways will not work. When I have eliminated the ways that will not work, I will find the way that will work.”
From the book The Power of Patience, by M.J. Ryan
