I learned to accept failure early in my Navy SEAL training. I knew I would fail at least once in combat swimmer training, so I wanted to fail early to learn from it. Failure teaches more lessons than success. Even the most physically gifted SEAL candidates quit because they couldn't handle failure and being told they weren't good enough. The hardships of SEAL training pale in comparison to combat.

We all face failure and struggles. Do what's expected but still fail. That's okay. Get back up and learn. Use failure as a foundation for success. Failure is a ladder rung to climb over obstacles. Accept failure and use it to your advantage to become unstoppable.

The path to success winds up and down. Create small victories and accept failure along the way. Learn from failure and use it to keep moving forward. Never quit.

My version of the SEAL mindset is "get NAKED":

N - Never quit
A - Accept failure
K - Kill mediocrity
E - Expose your fears
D - Do the work every day
