Traditionally we are taught to look at failure as a negative thing. The incredible Dean Graziosi taught me that failure is not a bad thing! In fact, it is a great learning tool, if we are willing to shift our perspective of what it means. This mindset is a simple yet HUGE difference between successful and unsuccessful people! Here it is... Failure is an opportunity to LEARN! We can use it to look at our design, our process and see where we can tweak things to ensure a different outcome! If we are truly passionate about the life that we want to create... about the change that we want to cultivate and nurture, then giving up when the going gets tough, or when things don't work out the way that we anticipated, isn't a viable option! By changing "failure" into a learning tool, a method of insight, then we can ensure that we continue to progress, one way or another, until we hit our goals and bring our visions to life!
I want you to think about a baby. When we are born we are absolutely helpless. 100% dependant on those around us. Then as we grow, we start to develop skills. A great one for this scenario is learning to walk. Have you ever witnessed this experience? If so, I want you to recall the determination of that child. They most certainly didn't just stand and begin waltzing about! NO! They wobbled and fell and potentially hurt themselves not once, but possibly many times! There were smiles dripping with pride and delight when they managed a few steps and tears of frustration when they continued to stumble and fall! The most important thing about the entire process though, was the determination! No matter what, they would continue to get up and try again! Again and again and again, until they FINALLY mastered walking!
