Failure is something we do as we pass through maturity. It can take many forms and the feeling of failure can really suck.
Imagine failing a test, or a job interview, failing at marriage, failing at sex. Imagine failing on a blog post.
Failure is unavoidable and it can hurt, wondering why things don’t fit.
All there is to do is to become a better learner, more self-aware, to ask better questions, and shape the stories that we tell ourselves.
Success or failure, it helps to hold a healthy detachment from the outcome. To hold a deeper value for the experience itself rather than other people’s judgments.
Commit to the longview, with an ocean of gratitude long before the rivers came.
A moment to reflect:
What story do you tell yourself most often?
