2-7-22: Failure leads to success

I would love to hear from you, just send me text and let me know what you think of the podcast.This week on our shorts I wanted to focus on one of the most painful and necessary hurdles to success. That hurdle is failure. It’s inevitable. We are all going to fail in little ways and spectacular ways. Right now is a great time to witness athletes who have overcome failure or who literally fall and have to get back up again in the Winter Olympics. One great example of this is the U.S. figure skater Nathan Chen. Chen failed pretty brutally in 2018 when we fell on all his biggest jumps during the short program of his figure skating routine. In a matter of a minute he lost all hope of an Olympic medal. But he got back on the ice and nailed his long program later in the games. He ended up winning 5th place but he won an even more valuable lesson. The freedom that failure gave him, catapulted him to the top of the skating world as he has won three straight world championships since and is headed into these games as a favorite. Without that failure, Nathan Chen may have never reached the heights he is at today. So embrace your own failures because they might just mean you are just around the corner from success.
