Ep. 40 - Embracing Failure: 7 Lessons for Thriving in Life
In this episode, I delve into the concept of failure and how our perception of it impacts our journey to success. I start by discussing a universal aversion to failure and how it shapes our reactions. I then offer a working definition of failure: not achieving an intended goal. From there, I share seven key lessons on viewing failure in a constructive way. These include understanding that every failure holds potential for success, acknowledging that only those who take action experience failure, and recognizing that failure is an event, not an identity. Other lessons emphasize the importance of persistence, the dangers of letting the fear of failure hinder progress, the significance of internal growth over the actual event of failing, and the idea that true failure only occurs when we stop trying. Join me as we reframe failure in a way that propels us toward our goals and dreams.
