What If I Fail, #625

In this episode, we talk about something that happens every day. Things we do or plan turn out quite differently than we want. When that is in the good direction, we feel lucky or blessed. When it is worse, we call that failure. We then assign bad things to failure. To fail is to be bad or to somehow be wrong. Failure is none of that. Failure is just feedback that something we tried did not work. Replace the “good and bad” context with “worked or did not work.” Drop the drama surrounding failure and explore what else is possible. When things are hard, we can choose to say, “I can’t wait to get through this.” Or, we can say “what can I take from this.” Adopting the model of deliberate practice, we can grow quickly.
