Failure holds you back. If you are not where you want to be in life, then it holds you back. Everything pulls you back to where you are when you’re trying to get ahead, when you’re trying to improve yourself. Your situation, your friends, your family, your debt, everything… maybe not on purpose, but those things hold you back.
Success isn’t that way, it does not hold you up, it does not keep you at the top. If success was sticky you wouldn’t have scandals and sad situations like Tiger Woods, John Edwards, lindsay lohan… the list is pretty long so I’ll stop. If success was sticky, celebrities, sports stars, and politicians would actually still be role models and we could feel good about our children looking up to. Instead, failure is pulling at them, in spite of their successes. In fact, failure may be pulling at them harder.
