Why Failure Is Not the End: The Value of Perseverance and Growth w/ Bo Nickal

Growing up, we always looked for someone we could have as a role model. These people are our source of motivation, inspiration, and support when we are struggling or on the verge of giving up. They could be your favourite celebrity or fictional character, but most of the time, it's your parents.  Bo Nickal shares his life experiences growing up, having his father and grandfather as good role models and leaders, pursuing the sport he likes as a career, and setting goals and his path ahead. Tune in as Bo Nickal discusses how having a good model and great examples was a game-changer in his career and life. And how he dealt with the negative emotions and effects associated with defeat. Quotes: “I pride myself a lot more on my character than my accomplishments than athletics.“ - Bo Nickal “All I got is what's in front of me in the past. What's in the past is in the past. I have no control over that.“ - Bo Nickal “God put that lesson in my life because I had to feel the lowest low and the highest high. “ - Bo Nickal Takeaways: We undoubtedly work hard to achieve the goals we have set. But, at the end of the day, what really matters is your character, who you are as a person, and what you value. Do not dwell too much on the past because it happened already, and you can't do anything about it anymore. The only thing that you have control over is the now. So, pour yourself into what you're doing now. God never gives us more than we can handle. He did that so that you would know He is maintaining you: and he is always present. Conclusion: Achievements could tell a lot about you: your effort, time, and dedication to making it happen. It's a big part of you, but it doesn't measure you as a person. And so is the failure. That's why failures shouldn't have the power to stop you and be stuck in the past. What really matters is who you are as a person – your values, principles in life, and what you did after it.
