Success comes from failing and the ability to learn from your failures. The only time you actually fail is when you fail to learn from your failures. Success can only come from applying what you learn. Each Monday, implement a lesson you learned through failing the week before. Make it your goal to learn each time you fail. Embrace failures so they can lead you to success.
