Failure and The Way To Success

Last week I spoke about the Art of Repurposing and a new perspective from the Icarus Myth I learned from one of my favorite authors: Seth Godin. During that episode, I said: If we want to succeed, we may fail many times. Now, I want to correct myself: If we want to succeed, we must fail many times. We must build a strong failure resilience if we want success. It took me a long time to internalize this maximum, and I have to admit it’s not always comfortable to follow. Two resources that help me build my failure resilience are: ONE- Sara Blakely: "What did I fail at today?” See the video below and ask yourself: - "What did I fail at today?” TWO- The other resource is a book titled:Go for No! Yes is the Destination, No is How You Get There The author Richard Fenton and Andrea Waltz create a compelling story to show us how our image of a fork in the road where one option is failure and the other option is success, is a misleading one. A better and more realistic visualization is to see failures are the stepping stones to success. What are you waiting for: Just take the risk, do it, fail, learn and try again. Repeat this, as many time as you need, to succeed.
