What equipment do you need to fail in faith that tomorrow will come!
Mix it up, sprinkle, dash, and heat it up to create the future you want!
Are you equipped to fail? Did you really just ask that question? Why yes I did, because failing is the equivalent of a college education. People are not defeated by the opponent; they are defeated within themselves.
Losing and failing is learning without the textbooks and final exams. Failing is real life innovation and creating new ideas no one else has failed forward into. You have to expect failure; it is what you do with it that makes a difference. First thing to remember is not to personalize it and start thinking like the chicken who always thinks the sky is falling. Your sky is not falling; you just failed to the next level!
Being equipped to fail is having courage to risk. Failure creates confidence toward the future you desire.
“Those who fly always first get out on the edge. If you want to seize and opportunity, you must take a risk. If you want to reach your potential, you will have to take chances. If you don’t, you will be resigned to a life of mediocrity. The people who don’t make mistakes end up working for those who do. And in the end, they often end up regretting the safe life they lived.” ~ John C. Maxwell
Making a difference toward your Secret Success Sauce is getting up when no one else does. Simply, if you do not get up, it is your fault for not taking action. Most people think too small, play small, aim too low, and quit too soon.
Equip yourself by letting failure point you to success. Do not play with the odds because very few are willing to get back up, so just get up and you will beat the odds. Again, perspective and expectations are important in keeping your momentum forward with purpose.
The last tool to be equipped to risk and fail is to maintain a sense of humor! Hold your head high, giggle, and laugh out-loud. I have been able to bring the stories of my colossal fails and wins to the table to share with others and instill the mantra that—tomorrow does come!
I look forward to walking along side you as you laugh your way up and out to the future you desire and want!
“You always pass failure on the way to success.” ~ Mickey Rooney
