Sooner or later we all encounter failure in life. It can be a small failure that makes our day less perfect or a bigger one that makes us doubt whatever we are doing.

In situations like the latter one, many people give up. What they don´t know is that giving up is the ultimate failure.

You have never truly failed until you have given up. Everything else you consider a failure is just a minor roadblock that will make you stronger and will lead you on a better path.

To get onto this better path that will lead you toward you desired goal, you have to keep pushing through the doubt and guilt that comes with failure.

To help you with that, I compiled 25 powerful quotes that will help you keep going after failure.

And to prepare you for future difficulties in life, I recommend you to check out 9 Hardships You Have To Face In Life.
