Have you ever failed at anything in your life?

A job, a career, a relationship, a diet, an exercise routine, a test? Anything at all? Be honest...

If you have, congratulations! You're just like every human being alive and every human being in the history of the universe. We all fail eventually, whether it's a monumental failure like a failed business or trivial failure like waking up late for work.

But, you know what the silver lining of failure is? That you actually had the courage to give something a shot and take some responsibility for your life and your decisions.

You failed a business? At least you had the courage to try!
You failed at a relationship? At least you had the courage to open yourself up to love and heartbreak.
You failed at waking up on time for work? At least you're responsible enough to set your alarm to get to work on time and be a valuable employee.
You failed at a diet? At least you had the self-awareness to realize that you needed to make a change.

Failure doesn't define us. So what does define us? How we respond to failure. How we bounce back, learn a lesson, take responsibility, grow and keep moving forward. That's what matters! Because everybody fails, but not everybody has the courage and resilience to keep pushing forward.

Listen in to find out how you can build your resilience against failure by learning to detach yourself from expectations and finding your true identity without the labels of your job, your relationships your possessions or anything else.
