020 - Learn From Failure
Manage episode 316958408 series 2995526
“You never fail, unless you fail to learn from the situation. Seek out the people that have failed and also those who have succeeded at what you wish to accomplish. Both have invaluable information for you.” - Johnnie Williams III
Do you learn from your failures? Or do you hide them or (even worse…) avoid doing anything that might result in another failure?
What if failure came with no stigma, would it be easier for us to embrace? Can you see that everything we enjoy is a byproduct of improvements made from the failed attempts that proceeded to successful outcome?
There’s a polarity that lies between success and failure that I see as progress… So how are you progressing through this life? So many of us learn in order to avoid failure – when we can also learn from it (failure) as well. The most important aspect to failure it’s not repeating what has caused the failure; but trying something new over and over until you get it right.
Something to Think About…
We all had to learn to roll over before we crawled, then we crawled (somehow) before we were able to walk. And we all failed our way there with each and every fall we endured. But we never stopped to avoid failing again. We were lured by each faiLURE to continue towards the desired outcome. So, step to the lessons that await you with each failure and see them as the prerequisites to success.
Ask Yourself:
Who can you connect with that has succeeded at doing or acquiring what you desire?
Who can you connect with that has failed at doing or acquiring what you desire?
