I am ACUTELY aware of my failures.
Both big and small.
Public and private.
Huge and seemingly insignificant.
I sit with them.
Stare them in the eye.
And ALWAYS…
examine them, take from them, learn from them.
But also, NEVER…
take them personally nor allow them the power to taint the future.
Failures are useful, but only as building blocks… only as an assorted — and always growing — collection of educational tools. For the record, sitting with my failures in this way isn’t a natural thing for me. I’m a natural “avoider.” But I came to the following conclusions:
1) I can EITHER fail (a lot) or I can play small. Whenever I’m stretching, whenever i’m playing full out, I WILL FAIL. It’s part of the territory of growth. I CHOSE to get comfortable with it.
2) If I quickly ignore and run from my failures — hoping to save my ego — I give up MOST the benefits of what could be learned and leveraged in that failure.
Bottom line:
I CHOSE to fail FAST and FABULOUSLY.
I CHOSE to not allow the failures — no matter their size or perceived significance — to impact how I feel about myself or my potential.
In fact, the faster I move,
the faster I fail, the faster I grow,
the FARTHER I GO.
