In the words of a little blue cartoon fish, to persevere through hard times you need to “just keep swimming.”
In addition to Dory, I’ve collected a few more inspiring quotes to help you through times of failure and frustration.
“Winners don’t succeed in spite of failure, they succeed because of failure”
“I’ve missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. Twenty-six times I’ve been trusted to take the game-winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.” – Michael Jordon
Lebron James won 4 NBA championships, while also holding the all-time record for missed shots.
Babe Ruth won 7 World Series, and led the MLB in strikeouts for 5 seasons.
Tom Brady won 7 Super Bowls and holds the record for the most interceptions in Super Bowl history.
Mistakes are proof you’re trying
Success is 5% talent, 15% skill, and 80% just hangin’ in there.
