Your stepping stone, Author Unknown

Your stepping stone, Author Unknown

Over the years

when you've suffered a setback,

and the reason for it

seemed unknown.

Did you ever consider

that it was a lesson

and that failure's a stepping stone?

How you respond

and what you learn from it,

shows the world how much

you have grown.

You'll climb a bit higher

toward the peak of success

making failure a stepping stone.

For you make the choice,

in the way that you see it.

It is your decision alone.

You can stall in self-pity

or keep moving upward

making failure a stepping stone.

So join all the people

Who’ve ever succeeded,

and practice

the courage they've shown.

Learn from your losses

but keep climbing higher,

and make failure your stepping stone.
