How do you view failure?

For a long time, I believed failure meant I wasn’t good enough at something.

Most people internalize failure as such.

Most of us play it small so that we avoid failure. It is more comfortable. It is safe.

This is all wrong.

The reality is that successful people are failing more than anyone else.

Successful business leaders, entrepreneurs, musicians, artists, writers, etc take more risks. They try more things. They fail more.

Embracing failure is part of having a thriving and winning mindset.

By normalizing the notion that ‘if you are not failing, you are not growing’:
➡️ You’ll adopt a growth mindset - you’ll believe that you can change and improve
➡️ You’ll set yourself bigger goals
➡️ You’ll preserve even when the road gets bumpy
➡️ You’ll take things less personally as you realize there are external factors outside of your control
➡️ You’ll realize failure isn’t permanent - you can pick yourself up tomorrow

When was the last time you failed at something?
