What if we don’t fail! We won’t know if we don’t try. People need to know what we have here, and being able to help so many people can be reward enough, with the rest of the reward being just a big(very big)bonus.

I saved a great story about Abraham Lincon that shows the resolve and dedication he had.

He failed in business in ‘31
Ran for State Legislator and lost in ‘32
Tried business again in ‘33 and failed again His sweetheart died in ‘35 He had a nervous breakdown in ‘36
He was defeated in run for Congress in ‘43 Defeated again in ‘48
He was defeated when he ran for Senate in ‘55 And defeated in run for Vice President of U.S. in ‘56 Ran for Senate again in ‘58 and lost again
This man never quit. He kept trying until he scored.
In 1860 he was elected President of the United States.
His name…Abraham Lincoln

Obstacles and challenges only make us stronger…if we choose that path!
