Failure can be divided into those who thought and never did and into those who did and never thought.
- W.A. Nance

Now ask yourself:

• What am I procrastinating that I should be doing?
• What is a priority that I am not prioritizing?
• What should I stop doing so I have time to do what is most important?
• Do I have a wise plan for each goal?
• Do I think about the big picture?
• Do I think about the little details?
• Am I failing? If so, why?

However, the biggest question is – What is failure? The answer is subjective. And it depends on your priorities.

One man’s failure may be playing video games while another man’s failure might be not conquering a video game. If you’ve been dreaming about writing a book, failure may look like playing golf, going to the lake, or watching football instead. If you are dreaming about being a better parent, going to the lake with your kids is probably a wise choice.

To minimize failure:

Identify your goals. Prioritize them. Think and strategize. And then do them according to what’s most important.
