Get some "You Cannot Fail" gear for yourself and for the heroes in your life.
The experience of living with cystic fibrosis is markedly different today than it was decades ago. Thanks to the discovery of the CF gene, the availability of effective drug therapies and advances in technology, the 30,000 Americans who deal with the disease day in and day out are living longer and fuller lives. In a word, they are thriving.

YOU CANNOT FAIL

You Cannot Fail is a motivational launchpad that empowers people to discover and embrace their own heroism in order to meet life’s challenges with strength and courage, face each day with optimism, and live a life of creativity, purpose and passion.

What’s your story?

If you’re like most people, your life story is one of ups and downs, good days and bad days, winning and losing.

By definition, life is a constant struggle – we wrestle with circumstances in an effort to survive, to overcome, and, possibly, to triumph. But although this struggle is universal, the specific obstacles life throws at us are extremely personal; nobody else in the world faces the same exact set of conditions that we do. Similarly, each individual deals with challenges in their own unique way.

Everyone but heroes, that is. No matter how difficult the story or dire the circumstances, a hero – armed with reserves of strength, courage and confidence – always wages a valiant battle and ultimately emerges the victor.

Wouldn’t it be nice to have even a little bit of that hero inside of you?

You do.

We all do.

The You Cannot Fail: You Are the Hero of Your Own Story campaign challenges you to discover your own heroism, to embrace the ups and downs of your life journey, to make a difference by sharing that journey with others, and to always celebrate the stories that make you unique.

You Cannot Fail is a program of the Boomer Esiason Foundation. Launched in 2011 in support of the cystic fibrosis community and others coping with serious illness, the You Cannot Fail mantra has universal appeal. At some point in our lives, all of us face a life-changing decision or devastating situation … or, less dramatically, an unusually difficult day. You Cannot Fail empowers us to face those challenges with strength and grace, reminding us that no matter what the outcome, we are heroes. And we cannot fail.

Specifically, You Cannot Fail:

♦  Is a motivational and inspirational launchpad that helps individuals pursue, reach and even exceed their life goals.
♦  Is powered by personal intent to transform and transcend limitation and obstacles, and to create new possibilities.
♦  Is about the journey of life and about celebrating life stories, no matter how big or small.
♦  Is the encouragement many people need to live life creatively and passionately, so in return, they can bring inspiration and motivation to others who struggle with similar challenges, and to the world at large.

It’s an ambitious undertaking, but it’s an important one. We’re talking about widespread change, about a movement that starts with individuals at the grassroots level but quickly becomes something much bigger and much more powerful.
