CLARITY KICKSTART: October 13, 2014
Each of us has to make a choice. Are we going to sleep life away, avoiding failure at all costs? Or are we going to wake up and realize this: Failure is simply a price we pay to achieve success.
The worst response? “Nothing.” In his eyes, if you are not failing, you must not be trying anything new.
This week, be courageous, try something new, and give yourself permission to do it badly – even to fail. If the perfectionist in you clings tightly, give him/her the day off. (I experimented with this myself last week when I played the ukulele at Spark – see photos on our Facebook page!) Give yourself a pat on the back for trying something new and acknowledge what you learn from the experience, even if that means, “I learned how to better deal with failure.”
And from this point forward, whenever you encounter failure (as we all do), let it teach you rather than define you.
