Failure is a part of life.  Everyone fails and some of us fail often!  However, oftentimes we see failure as the end.  The final piece that brings us to the end of our dream, the termination of our journey.  It stings, when we fail, and instead of forging on, we decide to bring it all to an end - to discontinue our journey, to cast aside our dreams and live life safe and secure. 

But failure doesn't have to be an end.  It should be a beginning.  So when I say, "Don't allow a setback to become a throwback", I am simply saying that failure is an everyday part of our lives.  Don't allow that failure to throw you back into a life that you do not want to live.  If anything, you should embrace your dreams even more!  Take that failure as an opportunity to renew your passion.  Learn from that failure. 

If you want to know about how you can use failure to your advantage and understand how you can turn failure into success, then I suggest you pick up John Maxwell's book, "Failing Forward".  In the book, John Maxwell explains illustrates why the major difference between achieving people and average people is their perception of failure and their response to it.  In the book, he covers the top reasons why people fail and shows how to turn that failure into success.
