1000 Steps

A reporter asked Thomas Edison, “How did it feel to fail 1000 times when inventing the lightbulb?”

Edison answered, “I didn’t fail. It simply took 1000 steps to get there.

Reflect

  • When have you felt like you’ve failed at life or life has failed you?

  • What have you done to frame your life differently in the face of loss, disappointment and adversity?

  • Who do you have in your life walking with you on those 1000 steps?
