No matter where you are in life or business right now, regardless of your circumstances, there is no such thing as failure. You see, most people have been programmed to be afraid of failure. But I believe that failure, more than anything else, is an attitude.
I’m participating in a study right now based on the book If You Want to Walk on Water, You’ve Got to Get Out of the Boat
But successful people don’t think in terms of failure. They think in terms of results they can learn from. I believe that there is no such thing as failure, just lessons. If you try something and it doesn’t work out, consider it a learning experience, and take new actions to get new results.
Think about it. What is the one asset, the one benefit you have today that you didn’t have in the past? Experience, right? And experience is what you make of it. Do you keep making the same mistakes again and again, or do you stop and reflect? If you don’t learn the lesson the first time, it is my experience that you will keep getting a similar “lesson” until you get it right.
Maybe you are afraid of failure, but how do you feel about personal growth? Fear of failure can stop you before you start. It can stop you from taking the risks you need to take in order to grow. If you redefine failure as learning, as important feedback, there is no longer anything to fear.
Edison tried thousands of different materials before he found the right filament for the electric light bulb. When asked why he didn’t quit, he said, “Why should I? I now know 2,000 things that don’t work!” Jonas Salk had the same attitude. If you look at your experiences the they did, you are much more likely to achieve success.
Be honest, we all have fears, don’t we? Is it a stumbling block or a stepping stone for you? Why not feel the fear and do it anyway? You will be glad that you did!
