About this Quote

This quote by Jerry Gillies highlights the concept that failure requires more effort and energy than success. When we fail, we typically have to put in a great deal of time and energy to select ourselves back up and try again. This can be physically, mentally, and mentally draining. On the other hand, succeeding needs less energy since we are progressing and attaining our goals. Gillies also suggests that keeping beliefs that do not serve us can be exhausting. It takes a lot of focused energy to maintain these beliefs and continue to act upon them, even when they are not leading us towards success. In essence, this quote advises us that it is necessary to let go of beliefs and habits that are not working for us in order to save our energy and focus on accomplishing success.
