In a captivating conversation on the "LOA Today" podcast, hosts Walt and Joel delved into the profound topic of failure and its role in personal growth. With raw honesty and insightful perspectives, they challenged the traditional notions of failure, unveiling its transformative potential.

Joel shared his personal journey, recounting how he had to "reprogram" his mindset around failure, recognizing it as a "growth tool" rather than a negative outcome. He emphasized the importance of embracing failure, drawing parallels to his experiences as a gymnast, where perfection is the ultimate goal.

"To be a gymnast at my level, I fail 99.9% of the time. Failure is the only option. Until you get it perfect at that level, it's perfect," he explained, highlighting the mindset shift required to thrive in such a demanding field. Walt, in turn, questioned the concept of perfection, proposing that we should instead aim for "joy" or "beauty" in our endeavors.

This sparked a thought-provoking discussion on the nuances of perfection, with Joel acknowledging that while it may be the ultimate goal in certain specialized fields, it can be a detrimental mindset for the average person. The conversation delved deeper, exploring the ways in which societal beliefs and scientific "facts" can become entrenched, even when they lack solid evidence.

The example of the widely accepted body mass index (BMI) formula, which fails to account for individual body composition, served as a poignant illustration of how unquestioned "facts" can lead to misguided conclusions. As the discussion progressed, Walt and Joel touched on the role of resistance in the failure cycle, recognizing it as a key component that often hinders progress.

They emphasized the importance of perspective, with Joel stating, "I believe your perspective dictates your reality, and also your perspective dictates your understanding of various things." The hosts also discussed the resilience of the human body, marveling at its ability to adapt and thrive even in the face of seemingly suboptimal conditions. The story of the family with nine children, all of whom maintained perfect school attendance despite the challenging living environment, served as a testament to the body's remarkable capacity for self-preservation.

Throughout the conversation, Walt and Joel's genuine enthusiasm and openness to exploring new ideas shone through, leaving the listener with a sense of inspiration and a renewed appreciation for the transformative power of failure and perspective. As the episode drew to a close, the hosts agreed to continue the discussion on resilience in the next episode, promising an even deeper dive into the interplay between failure and personal growth.
