The following inspirational quote and life lesson, in video and picture formats, will I hope help to motivate you, especially if times are bad within your life.
With regards to the quote, it’s hard to remind ourselves that when things are bad, that good could come out of it. We sometimes look back and are glad that they happened. It’s usually because we have learned a real important lesson, have grown as person and are better for it.

It is very true that everyone cannot always succeed, without failure you will never learn. So next time you feel like you’ve failed, switch your mindset and take it as a learning experience.
“with every failure, comes a great lesson”

I have kept the videos short, because as I said above, people are so busy and they will more likely listen and view a shorter video.
I will try to remember your advice – ” switch your mindset and take it as a learning experience. with every failure, comes a great lesson”

January 7, 2019 at 9:20 pmWe all need inspiration in our lives, especially when times get hard, so I found your post very helpful.
It really helps to realise that we are not the only ones who sometimes find life hard, and that everyone fails some time.
We need to understand that no matter how many times we fail, those failures are just steps on the way to success.We can’t really succeed without those failures along the way.
Many thanks
Chrissie 🙂

January 7, 2019 at 9:28 pmI was not sure what to expect based on the title “Life Is Full Of Screwups” since the title inferred that it was to be an inspirational quote, but it most certainly got me to stick around and see what was in the content of the post! Kudos to you for that!
I felt a bit let-down and was hoping for more introspection from the post, but after mulling it over, could see that the point was to keep it simple and focused on a single message. People are fallible, they make mistakes, and that is acceptable. It is those that give up or give in that will lose out.
If you can accept that you will make mistakes and nonetheless charge on with your life, you can accomplish much that will make any mistake pale in insignificance in comparison to the positive events happening in your life. This is very true for me, and I am sure for others.
It does help to be reminded of this at times, we can lose sight of this truism if we are in the middle of a funky period of our lives. This is where such an inspirational post can help. A simple but powerful message. Thanks…

I am so glad that you enjoyed the video and the message contained within the content. I kept the video quotes to around a minute, because people are so busy these days and they would more likely view a shorter video.

January 7, 2019 at 9:32 pmLife is indeed full of ups and down,the good and the bad, sometimes it hits us up in areas we least expect and the effect can be devastating, we have to stay strong to be able to pull through. If we fail in times of adversity then our strength is little. Also the humanity in everyone enables us to help and care for one another thereby making our burdens light.

Thank you for taking the time to post. I agree with you ” Also the humanity in everyone, enables us to help and care for one another, thereby making our burdens light.”
You get to know who really cares when the chips are down and the kindness that they show. That’s why I keep reminding people to try and be kind, ass we are all fighting the hard battle called life.

January 7, 2019 at 10:03 pmI agree, life is full of screwups, and you have to fail otherwise how will you grow and prosper? There is no other way. It is not the failures that counts anyway, it is how you bounce back that is the real achievement. Strength and character is shown when one falls and gets back up and tries again.
